Question

Can a 12 year old cycle on the pavement?

Answer 1

If they're skilled enough, yes.  I've been riding on the road since I was about 7.  Just be sure to follow the rules of the road and stay off the sidewalk.

Answer 2

Why not ?

Answer 3

Yes, a 12 year old can cycle on the pavement, but be sure to be careful. When a car comes, get off the road and onto the sidewalk. Try not to cycle smack on the middle of the road, but a little off to the side to give way to the drivers.

Good luck! Ride safe. :)

Answer 4

  I don't see why not either.
