So my mom is the protective type and my family is in a tough situation as far as money goes, and we only have one car which means half of my plans to hang out with my friends are ruined when I wake up and find my mother has went to work with the only vehicle and won't be home until 8. I was wondering how many people find a 14 year old boy riding a bike 3 miles appropriate. considering my neighborhood I fairly small, I can't ride it in it.
Answer
I was certainly riding my cycle more than 3 miles when I was 14.
From the age of 11 I was cycling to school every day, and going for longer rides with my friends at weekends.
OK, this was over 40 years ago, and there is more traffic on the roads now, but I do think that cycling is an important way for a young person to develop road sense before learning to drive a motor vehicle.
As long as you can handle the cycle well, and you know the rules of the road, I see no reason why you shouldn't be using your cycle to get around. The size of your neighbourhood is irrelevant, whatever size it is you can cycle around it.

Bike trailer for babies?
hellothere
I would like to purchase a bike trailer for babies. My baby turned 3 months last week. When can I use the bike trailer for my baby? How old should he be? I love to walk with him. I use the stroller, the baby bjorn, but would like some other options.
Answer
When my son was that age, the pediatrician said that kids under 1 year old do not have enough neck strength to hold up both their heads and a helmet. That was a long time ago, so you should consult with your own pediatrician in case theories have changed since then.
