  • Lack of training on bicycling skills by parents (I don't blame it on schools or other government agencies). .
  • Parental paranoia - kids at taught to ride on the sidewalk as its not safe riding in the street with all those big SUVs that constantly weave all over the road (driven by parents of kids), and kids are taught to ride facing traffic so you can see danger approaching (as long as you're not looking at your dumbphone).
  • Lack of enforcement by local LEOs (other priorities take up their time).
  • Foreigners with different upbringings. In some third world countries folks learn to ride facing traffic.
  • . . . and ignorance or indifference by some who don't care. .
