There has been a new by-law issued by the Abu Dhabi authorities - no bicycles may be ridden by anyone in a public park. This includes not only the teenager doing wheelies but also the toddler on his tricycle. My first instinct was to say how anti-social such a law is but then I realised some things:
* Bikes damage the grass, which is planted and maintained here at great expense (the reason for the ban).
* I never take the kids' bikes to the parks, as they are not within riding distance and it would involve packing 3 big bikes into the car each time.
* Now I have an excuse other than pure laziness!
