Would you let your 22 year old son bicycle his way from Texas to Mexico City?

Let? He's a man.

Send a cell phone with him.

I advise him to stick to the States.

How well-prepared for this is he?

Is he in excellent physical condition?

Has he much cycling experience?

Has he travelled this area before?

Best of luck to him on his adventure!

i don't think he'd get more than a day or two of travel past the border before he gets robbed.

There are hijacker on Mexican through roads. It is pretty lawless down there.

he is a grown man and if he is hell bent on doing it then you cannot stop him--unless there is some legal recourse that you can take to stop him--otherwise all you can do is offer him support and try to determine the safest routes and times to make the trip

UMMM...He's 22. So "let" is not really an issue, now is it?

If it is unsupervised, then absolutely not! If he all alone, no way! If he is going with a group of known people for a common cause that is well certified, only then would I even consider it. It is hugely risky. From Texas to California would be a much better achievement that is very safe! Across the country border is always risky!

At 22, she can't really stop him. All she can do is make sure that he knows the dangers.

I'm young as well and I'm mexican I speak both languages, however I wouldn't do it. It's too dangerous. I love Mexico but it's not as Europe in any sense. There are better ways to grow up. Mexico was not created for bikes at all. Good Luck.

well its not like she can control him. she can always send him backpacking through europe though. he still gets to travel in she can rest at ease because its safer.

Sounds like a great idea. Try to convince him to bring a friend. But it may be something he must do himself...

rliza64

no, no 1000 times no. He is asking for trouble. Mexico IS NOT EUROPE! If he wants to bike around, tell him to go to europe then

BritMarie

He's an adult. He should be able to decide for himself. If his mom tells him how she feels, he should also respect that.

DC Girl

Of course. At 22 you can't really tell him what to do. He's old enough to make his own decisions.

karthikssn

I would allow it if itis for a good cause but if it is for fun, I would probably convince him not to go

silypeach

He is 22 an adult he can do what ever he wants.
Yes I think it would be a great experience for him, as long as he is careful and wise to the ways of the world.
