    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.

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

      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.

        You wanna compare Strava profiles Big Boy?

        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.

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

          /s of course

          If you want a pissing competition, I’ve spent the last 25 years biking about 10 miles each way for work. Plus a couple of trips to the coast every year, so that’s about a hundred miles each way.

          I don’t even own a road bike.
