Smug middle class twat or responsible parent?

I have seen some cyclists - one yesterday near Dulwich Park - with two kids - one on a seat at the back and one between the handlebars and the cyclist. I think it was a little seat perched on crossbar. Think it would be better to get one of those Danish Christiana bikes with the container in the front if you need to transport two kids around.

Totally irresponsible. Exposing those poor children to all the passive cigarette smoke from people standing outside offices, pubs, hanging out of the windows of their own flats etc. I'm surprised social services haven't got involved and demanded they get back in their cars. And they wonder why the child has asthma!

Nothing to do with being middle-class; just sounds dangerous. Whether with a child on the back or not.

However, I cycle with my son on the back of my bike and I'm middle class: living where I do, with a child and a bike, not to mention the organic veg and the Guardian poking out of my basket. And I go very carefully, thanks.

I think the idea with the trailer type that's on road level is that the child can't fall off and so are 'safer', but to me they are too dangerously close to car wheels.

That's too drastic a cure for their asthma, northlondoner.


Another reason why it's irresponsible is that it's adding to the obesity problem by strapping the little mite into their seat with nothing for them to do. The solution would be to put the parent/guardian/nanny in the seat and get the nipper to do the cycling.

Middle on one cheek, class on the other. How about you?

    • Do also remember that, whilst this is the original there is an unrelated FB presence with a (very) similar name, which might also be prayed in aid. 
    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.
