Irresponsible towing of kids in a trailer

Anyone seen the SillyCyclist series of vids on Youtube?

If you haven’t, let’s start you off with straight into a high speed cornering by a guy pulling a kid in a trailer that really needs to think a bit next time he takes his kid out:

trailer has seat, seatbelts and roll-cage? Not seeing an issue, even know a few people that have done similar on the trail to find an upside-down giggling child in the trailer afterwards!

That looks like a Burley, which has straps, roll cage etc, but to suggest its not an issue is silly.

There’s a certain person who posts on here who’s overtaken people on some of the coedy trail centre descents with a kid in a trailer 😀

Mother of god, what a load of old toss. Can’t believe someone actually compiled all that shite, almost as much as I can’t believe I watched it and commented on it. Is it your vid OP?

I quite enjoy Silly Cyclists and I do subscribe. Can be instructional to see folk getting it wrong.

But the trailer one is a bit meh. Guy turned it too hard and tipped it. Silly mistake but it happens. No real harm done.

@Fourbanger, nope. I’ll specifically point out when it’s my material.

Seems some people here don’t like the creators series. Guess it’s not as exciting and exotic as that Canadian motorcyclist over in Taiwan with his live tales during his jaunts: http://www.youtube.com/user/13mordeth

I accidentally rolled our trailer with our sub-1 year-old nipper in it. He woke up. I righted it. He went back to sleep. I did feel bad, but he didn’t seem to mind. He’s done Spooky Wood and the Laggan Orange too. Since graduating to the Bobike Mini he’s done the Laggan boardwalk 3 times and all of the lower Red from Fang Corner.

In the Bobike it’s easy to see if he’s happy or not. If not, stop.
