for you, i'd suggest taking a position on the street, or at the very least on the sidewalk to their left, once again, to prevent them from going to the left and into traffic. if you can ride a bit ahead of them as you get to and intersection to signal to other drivers to pay more attention to a cyclist in the area.



this whole situation becomes a little more convuluted if you are dealing with multiple boogies, er, i mean kids. in that case i would focus on the youngest.


Just thinking mainly about the portion of 64th Ave between Centre St and where you hit the Nose Creek pathway. There is probably enough room on the grass if pedestrians become a problem.
