Which group is allowed to ride bicycles on a footpath under the child-riding rule?
Ko e kulupu fē ʻoku ngofua ke nau heka pasikala ʻi he hala lue ʻo fakatatau ki he tu'utu'uni heka pasikala ʻa e fānau?
Children aged 12 and under may cycle on footpaths. A parent or caregiver may also ride with them to supervise; adult accompaniment is not a condition of the child’s permission.
