All it would take is the front wheel hitting a piece of tree branch on the trail to send that cyclist flying, and there would be a good chance he'd collide with anyone nearby.

Wondering what others think about this?
ride your bike. you are not the mup police. kids riding bikes is a good thing, encourage it
