Bicycles?? Almost 1 in 10 wish bicycles had never been invented for their kids?!
Thats the bigger headline for me
I have no idea how a few of those are possible. Newspapers? Radio? Bikes?
It's hard to guess. I suppose there are a sizeable number of drivers that really hate cyclists. Maybe some people hate newspapers/radio because they hate all media?
Those three things together read for me a parent that wants to control their child. Newspapers and radio bring information and ideas that the parent didn't introduce. Bicycles bring transportation and exposure to more of your city, which introduces ideas the parents don't control.
