HOUSTON, T.X. —  An HOA showdown in Houston after some members said they want to ban all bicycles.  The group says kids speeding on bikes threaten seniors, pets and themselves.  A flier even threatened the banning altogether of any kind of wheeled vehicle or toy.  The 300-townhome subdivision is trying to reach a compromise.  Parents say a ban would punish their kids.

“They are valid concerns, you know,” said Houston resident Cynthia Boase.  “But I have two children and I certainly don’t want them not to be able to ride their bike at a really nice park in our community.”

Residents say the make-up of the neighborhood has changed from mostly seniors to young professionals and families.
