I say unusual in the sense of Japan seems to be the only one to have solved the issue of how do you transport 2 kids on a bike not with "big box" like the dutch and subsequently the entire western world but via 2 seats, they're apparently very popular over there as a means of transportation.

    You should wear a helmet, but mandating then reduces the number of cyclists so much that you're probably causing more harm than good. Kind of whacky 🥴

        we're also not talking about a consenting adult on a bike but like an adult with TWO TODDLERS lol

        not even strapped in! kid on the back could just like stand up because kids are stupid and do shit like that

        I don't even have kids but just from being in proximity to people who do it's just like, wow lol this is unsafe

                yeah i don't strap my children into their car seats because you know they grew up with it they'd know not to stand up, they're well practiced in just gripping the seat during an accident

                🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 what is this weird hexbear anti safety shit

                    the odds of a child deciding hey I want to stand up like an idiot are higher than an accident, which are already high enough that the kid should be strapped in with a helmet anyway but go off Child Safety King :red-fist:

                    the utter naivete of believing a child literally like less than 8 years old just always being on perfect behavior and having a sense of self preservation, just lol
