Crazy?

I was just riding along the riverbank in Marikina this afternoon on my way to John Wilkie when I saw this man on his commuter bike. At first I couldn't make it out. Only when I got closer did I realize what it was around his neck. It was a child no older than 3 years old. This nearly threw me off my seat. I really do hope people would practice a little bit more common sense when riding their two wheeled steeds in our city streets. I've seen some crazy stuff in this world, but this one takes the cake. Of course, the second most crazy thing I've seen is me taking my camera out and taking this shot one handed without stopping my bike. Ouch.

i have seen another version of crazy about a month ago ...a boy of about 2-3 holding on around his (i pressumed) father's neck, both feet on the top tube and he was leaning against his father's right arm...the man's hands were both on the handlebar...this was near the 711 in pineda pasig...just one jolt, im sure the boy will be on the ground.

one would think that Darwinism would have eliminated this behavior by now, but every once in a while a stupid gene overcomes the odds and survives. hopefully the child doesn't become a victim of his bad judgment.

when you see someone doing crazy stuff like this... do you go up to them and tell them off or do you just let them be?

I believe they must have families, neighbors and friends who see them (use kids as helmet replacements) from start to destination. Don't think everybody know how to welcome kind hearted advice like what you have in mind. If you don't know them personally, what gives you the right to tell them otherwise? Bo, it goes to show that the Darwin's evolution theory explains fossilized mammals in part, but does not hold true for Homo Sapiens, as present day statistics will prove.
