Villas - What is the proper age that one has to be to ride bikes in the street? It seems to me that there are too many younger children riding on Bayshore Rd. No point having bike paths there either, as the cars drive on them instead. It's so dangerous to ride bikes on that street. The children don't even cross at the lights because they see adults crossing over in the middle of the street. They need more traffic lights so people can cross safely, or at least a few more stop signs to slow down traffic. It's only a matter of time before a child is killed. Vehicles need to stay off the bike paths, as they were not intended for them!
