I was driving before, down one of the busiest roads where we live... there was a cycle lane beside me, & I was stopped at a red light. Next thing this man (not wearing a helmet) bikes past - with his (at the most) 4 year old son, on a little bike with training wheels The light went green & the guy tried to keep his bike straight - while holding onto his sons shoulder & trying to keep him cycling in the (maybe 1m wide) cycle lane - out of the path of all the cars & trucks.

Is it just me, or is that REALLY irresponsible & wrong & just STUPID? It made me *so* angry - the boy was probably 4 - but could have been 3 - he looked similar in size to Gaby. That poor kid would have NO chance, if he got hit by a car!

OMG, that's crazy! In this country, it'd be illegal - the helmet part anyway. But just think what could happen if that little boy fell over Some people, I just don't get it....
