So you never rode your bike 'hands free' as a kid ?
I use to do it all the time.
Even would pedal bike while sitting on handle bars backwards.

Kids aren't do anything different now a days then we use to do..just have better equipment (my skate board was a 2X4 with steel roller skates nailed on bottom).

If they have a cell phone chances are it is stuck to their ear while driving or they are 'thumbing' away (texting).
See it all the time........young and OLD. (I have a cell phone but I rarely carry it------heck I only talk on it when someone calls and I can get to it before they hang up/leave msg.)

The trouble today is that they grew up texting and then learned to drive. So driving is an activity added to their texting. Us older folks grew up driving and then we added cell phones so driving is our primary activity and we're less likely to feel comfortable using a cell phone while driving. Makes sense?

See it all the time around here.

Almost got run into on the local bike path.

My loud horn got their attention, then they fell over........

Are you sure she was texting and not fuming for world's dumbest drivers?

When she has an accident on her bike, I wonder who she will sue?
We all know it won't be her fault...

Now that sounds difficult.

I have seen it several times

Just think in a few years she will be doing that behind the wheel of a car.
