Do you watch the news? If not you can start with, BF and the title post. It tends to be a good source of cycling safety news and information. Just do your homework.

Says who? The ones I ride on have no posted speed limit, and what's logical would be to take the kids to the playground where they have exclusive use of the environment. Someone invented this area a long time ago because they figured out that kids and adult's recreation don't mix very well.
Any decent parent would know better than to put their kids in harms way. Don't expect the world to babysit your children. That's your responsibility.
