Little Red wagons generally don’t travel at 20mph in the street with cars going even faster. That kid in the photo can barely hold herself upright. One little wiggle or unexpected turn and she’ll slip right through those bars and under an SUV.
Seriously, you might as well just put your kid in to one of these.
People really don’t fall off of bike seats easily. Maybe you should try biking.
Literally millions of people have bought e-bikes specifically to carry kids. I own one, and my kid loves riding on the back. I have never heard of a kid falling off of one either.
Radbikes even makes a bicycle specifically designed to carry children on the back (the radwagon) - and so does Extracycle, Trek, Lectric, Yuba and half a dozen or so other long tail e-bike brands.
My issue isn’t with carrying kids on the back of bikes. It can and is done safely. My issue is with what is happening in this specific picture, and even more specifically with the smallest child.
No, I say that like you want to commit criminal acts against innocent people and you somehow think will solve the problem. I say that like I think you need mental help if you are serious. I say that like I no longer feel like wasting my time talking to someone who isn’t interested in having a coherent conversation.
Nah this is completely right though. Soon as she stops those two kids are gonna bonk heads together, the smaller one needs a bike seat at the very least, and the toddler probably needs one as well. You could still do that with a bike like this, so it doesn’t discount the point entirely, but the image itself is a pretty stupidly conceived piece of work.
there are so many people who have both no cognitive ability to imagine something they haven’t personally experienced or is the norm and have never gotten anywhere any other way but a car.
it’s funny to because compared to literally anything but a motorcycle cars are hella dangerous, and the deaths from all the other modes except airplanes are from getting hit by a car
There is no way the kids sitting on the back of the bike in that picture are safe…
No less safe than wheeling a kid around in a little red wagon or letting them ride their own bicycle.

Oh no, look at all the super dangerous people biking with kids on them.

Shame on you for not being willing to sacrifice your children for the cause! Go back to truth social where you belong!

Yeah, but the picture above has them sat in a luggage rack.
it’s only unsafe because of all the cars. aside from that, whats’ the danger, they might fall out?
Swimming in a pool of razor blades is only unsafe because of all the razor blades. Aside from that, what’s the danger?
Yes
car dominance is literally a conspiracy by big oil to make us dependent, it is in no way natural.
Cars exist, you can’t just ignore them. They’ll run you over whether you believe in them or not
Then we should burn them
Uhhh huh… Meanwhile, back in reality…
you say that like cars aren’t flammable

It will never not be funny to me how scared some people are of any transportation that’s not a car.
