Facebook killed the radio star. And by radio star, I mean the premise of distributed forums around the internet. And that got got by Instagram/SnapChat. And that got got by TikTok. Where the fuck is the internet we once knew?

I'd personally do as Joe suggests
You might be right about that, Joe.
If someone bikes into you hard enough to dent your fender it should be a matter of law, not insurance.
so a 5 year old needs insurance.

You'd be surprised how many bad parents there are in this country. I've seen MANY young children and pre-teens biking on streets with no sidewalk and cars going at 55mph.

You're trying to tell me that you never cruised around with your friends on the streets with your bike as your only mode of transportation when you were in middle and early high school? Don't blame the parents..Oh, and it's illegal to ride on the sidewalk. Stick to the bike lane.

Don't blame the parents..Oh, and it's illegal to ride on the sidewalk. Stick to the bike lane.By the time you're old enough to be in middle/high school, it isn't unreasonable to earn a license of some sort, even if it's specifically a cyclist license. And who's blaming the parents?I'm not sure about the US, but here it's legal to ride on the sidewalk until you have wheels of a certain size (I forget how big). So it's legal for kids to ride on the street, but not adults (typically). <edit> For what it's worth, you bounced between "you're a dad, trying to teach your kids how to ride a bike" and being in middle school/highschool and using your bike to commute. You're going to have to pick some arguments and stick with them, otherwise it's impossible to discuss.

I mean that if someone bikes into a fender hard enough to damage it, they meant to do it.
Not necessarily. What about when a bike runs a stop sign? Kid nails fender, lands on hood. Right there is hundreds in damage.
