This to me is the big issue in this whole debate.  Many years ago SERA our 
regional organization, decided that from a liability standpoint, a child must 
be 8 years old to participate in our sanctioned rides.  This was when CiCi 
Butler was just starting to ride, which will tell you how long ago it was.

We also required children to wear a helmet and the "2 vet" rule long before 
AERC did.  It is easier to get change in a smaller group.  (And maybe a 
smarter one)
