No, kids should be riding on the sidewalks where it's safe for them. Kids don't understand the rules of the road.
Adults 16+ (if you can get a drivers license at that age, your responsible enough to know how things work), should have to ride their bikes on the road.
I don't mind being stuck behind a few cyclists who are slow while I'm waiting for it to be safe so I can pass them, but what I do mind is the fact that they run red lights, don't stop at stop signs, they squeeze in between my truck and the curb at a red light trying to lane share, and ride on the road and dont take responsibility for their actions...they just jump to shouting "lawsuit!!! He hit me with his car!!". Perhaps they wouldn't be hit if they followed the rules...or had to pay some sort of extra insurance that ties in with their auto insurance. Them getting into a accident on their bike results in their car insurance to go up....bet there would be 25% less accidents or close calls withinh the first month lol.
