Young David here, has obviously been a very bad child.
Sit down, strap in, shut up and hang on.
lol
The kid even knows this is a bad idea! look how tight he is clinging!! And are his feet in a fry basket?!
Its a newspaper route basket!. From the days Kids did the route not adults in a beat up car at 3 am.
Which were the days when kids could go outdoors without armed security.
The Cycle of Life
… or death
Well, it looks about as secure as anything else cargo-mounted on a bike – and wins points for using the wire pannier to keep the kid’s feet out of the spokes. Rating: Mostly Harmless.
Yeah, this is way safer than the plastic behind-the-adult child bike seat they put me in when I was a baby, because the kid can’t stick his toes in the spokes and can hold onto Dad if the seat starts to slip instead of hanging out a foot back from the grownup.
And mine was on a motorcycle.
Dad has taken all the proper safety measures. Helmet, check. First born strapped into death chair, check. Lets roll!
I used to ride on my dad’s bike like this when i was a kid, but without the helmet or chair, just a pillow to sit on
My dad used to tie a rope around my waist and make me run behind him.
A rope?! When I was a kid, we made a human chain by grabbing each others arms and legs and then Dad dragged us behind his bike.
Your dad had a bike?! Mine would drag us behind the push mower!
Behind?! You sure had a pampered childhood! My dad made us hang ten on the front of the push mower (eventually we’d be hanging nine, then eight, etc).
We used roller skates or a skateboard. The skate board actually works pretty well at reasonable speeds when there is no traffic…..
A pillow?! What a wuss! When I was a kid, when we rode on Dad’s bike we sat on rocks. Helmets? Pshaw! The only thing we had that to protect our head were the scabs that had formed since our last ride.
you are sooooooo funny dono!
The chair for the kid looks secure enough, assuming it’s well strapped. The straps around the kid, though, that’s alarming. When a bike falls down you don’t want to be strapped on! Even when she was a puppy in training my dog was never tied to the bike basket (toy dog in front basket) but just restrained with a little net of straps above her head. I wanted to be sure she’d be able to leap free if we went down. Not that we ever did, mind you, but still!
And you try telling the young people of today that, and they wont believe you….
There’s a reason that most people DO NOT have those white backseat bicycle seats for kids anymore…..when the bike tips over they’re trapped. Hence, all the tow behind models. Sigh…..
Yeah, the reason is that your kid will put his feet on the back of your legs while you try to pedal. Now if only we just had a wire basket like that… hmmm, where to locate? Oh, I know! I’ve got some chicken wire here…
Rear-mount bike baskets are readily available at bike stores. They’re basically a UU shape, with each half fitting on one side of the wheel, attached to the rear rack. Some people make their own by tying small plastic wastebaskets on either side of the rack simply by poking holes at the top edges of the baskets and wiring them on.
This man makes bad decisions in life all around. I mean, who goes biking in flip-flops? I hope his toe gets caught and a bloodbath ensues.
C’mon, the kid probably didn’t do anything to deserve that.
Amanda was referring to the father, not the kid.
“Hang on and don’t be scared. We’re almost at the liquor store. Now remember, when Mommy comes home from her trip, we’re not going to tell her anything about our exciting bike adventure. It’s just between us guys. Got it, little man? Great!”
WINNN!!!
Definate Schwinn!
It started out with a father’s good intentions. After that fateful bike ride, however, Tommy insisted on going EVERYWHERE with his chair strapped to him. The kids shouldn’t have teased him at the playground even though they were, after all, “just being kids.” The massacre that ensued was truly horrifying. And while Tommy’s parents were deeply saddened at the trial with the judge’s sentence, Tommy couldn’t have been more thrilled. He got the chair.
Oh zap, that is pretty dang funny.
At some point the green police (chastising everyone but the diesel car drivers) will be co-opted by Protective Services, just to bust Bad Dads like this one.
Or, more likely, there’ll soon be a sticker on the underside of every children’s chair that says: NOT TO BE USED AS A BIKE SEAT.
Thanks, genius.
The Wicked Warlock of the West hurries to his accountant’s office after cleverly changing Toto into a child, just in time to claim him as a dependant for his 2009 tax return.
“He not really my son. Just my new girlfriend’s kid!”
Is it just me, or has that kid got his helmet on backwards?
That poor kid should be wrapped in bubble wrap and foam padding-No way is the dad going to keep from crashing while peddling with sandles on-Especially if he tries to break.
If the father breaks, the bike will go out of control and fall.
This is better than the one I saw the other day where he had a piece of foam over the handlebars with the little girl riding facing toward him. And for those who used to ride behind their parents, they did come out with one that goes on the cross bar so the child rides between your legs. Made it safer in the case of a fall.
Love to see how the kid is tied in to the seat, some people would consider that child abuse.
Looks like child abuse subsequently tied to a bike = good old-fashioned FUN! Yee-haw! Like jumping from the hay loft holding onto an open umbrella…
