| Lisa,
Great post,thats just what I was gonna try and say.
My 7 year old daughter regulary rides pillion on my wifes Monster and has come on the back of my Multistuka.She absolutely loves it.Of course when she is on the back we ride a lot more cautiously.An extra small AGV lid fits her well and a kids jacket and gloves came from Hein Gericke.
As Lisa said,car drivers are more aware of bikes and scooters abroad,probably because there is more of them.In Italy you see whole families on one scooter.The little one wedged between mum and dad and the eldest stood on the footwell leaning over the handlebars.
Oh,and no helmets or other safety gear either. |
