[QUOTE="Bounce, post: 1412210, member: 257"] I've chimed in on this topic at least 3 times over the years and every time someone ends up POed. Riding safety isn't completely in the hands of the rider/operator. There are factors outside of the rider's control. A child (or pet) cannot understand all these things to make a reasonable consent (the same reason kids can't enter into binding legal contracts). Because of that, there's no way they can make the judgement call that an adult can about riding on a bike. Shit happens. When/If it does, then the rider will be living with that for the rest of their lives. I even remember straps and handles that tie the kid to the adult. Those I see as a variation of an air bag (water bag?) for the adult who could then use the kid as a crumple zone. Pets and kids on bikes? Nope. Not in my book. A small mini-bike on private property (dirt) with adult supervision is something I would consider for kids with full gear. [/QUOTE]
