[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 608303, member: 1550"] I would let him go, but I'd watch especially if there are streets nearby. I wouldn't let him go by himself. At this point in time, you really don't know the Big Picture as to what is wrong with him or how capable he is and I'd want to foster confidence in him without putting him at risk to his impulses. It was a long time before I kept my eyes off of Sonic when he was outdoors because he was also impulsive and I was afraid he'd get the notion to bolt into the street and he would TALK to strangers in cars if they slowed down and spoke to him, no matter how often we told him not to. Use your own judgment and your mommy instinct. Going slower didn't make Sonic a hermit. He is twenty now and goes all over the place on his bike and does it with care and caution (unlike his early years). [/QUOTE]
