Are roads too dangerous for children to cycle on? Heidi McAlpine & Brendan Mulgrew debate

How do you feel about children cycling? Olympic gold medal winning cyclist Chris Boardman has said that he wont let his daughter ride a bike on the road because cycling just doesn't feel safe. He thinks that most parents feel the same which is why less children are cycling. What do you think is this just parents being overly protective or are our roads just too dangerous?
