About a year ago, I heard a radio station ask a question for people to phone in with an answer to win a prize.The question was " This is something 75 % of current 18 year olds have never done?".
The answer "Ride a bicycle".
At first, I thought that couldn't be correct.But then I realized I rarely see kids ride bicycles anymore.When I was living in Massachusetts, there were 5 families on my street, out of 16 or so households, that had kids that would be of bike riding age.Only the two boys next door, whose parents put limits on TV and video games and have them involved in youth sports, Boy Scouts, etc. rode bicycles.
We're raising a generation of indoor cats and they're not learning to hunt mice.
