Sittin' on the tank

There was a horrible news story yesterday about a toddler being killed riding with his father without a helmet. The rider was completely irresponsible and it's a very sad story. Many people joined a lynch mob stating anyone that does this needs to be put in jail... but I can't help but think and remember a simpler time when this was acceptable, and under the right responsible adult, fairly safe. I'm not stating I'd be doing wheelies with Max with no helmet on, but I definitely plan on putting him a sidecar at 3, and on the back of the bike as soon as he can. I found this video, sort of reminds me of parts of my youth. My dad would ride me to me pee-wee baseball games all the time.
