A golden age comes to an end
From the Marin Lately Editorial Board
On Tuesday, 12 year-old Brandon Fargo once again defied naysayers by arriving at school on his electric dirt bike without having died. In fact, attendance records show that Fargo (like the vast majority of motorcycle-riding children) has made it to school alive every single day this year.
Those statistics apparently don’t matter to the overzealous babysitters who run Marin County, where children will soon be denied access to motorcycles based almost entirely on anecdotal data from a few local emergency rooms.
