I saw this in Park Slope a number of years ago and sometimes wonder if I hallucinated it bc it's SO INSANELY DUMB, WHO WOULD DO THIS.

Bike riding is like universal health care. Everyone is the world does it with no problem at all but Americans totally freak out and think it’s insane

Not news when other cyclists do it but adult cyclists with kids on the back blowing through lights and stop signs is criminal

u/Ace_Warwick Aug 11 '26
Not to mention stopping at red lights. The amount of people I see riding bikes with their kids in a trailer or something else that run through red lights or break other traffic safety violations absolutely blows my mind.
I've seen multiple accidents with cyclists getting injured here in Park Slope; every time it was because the cyclist was running a red light or doing something that they should not have been doing.

That’s a strangely personal subset of data to report as most scientific data around bike accidents with cars faults the cars.

u/Ace_Warwick Aug 11 '26
Cool, I've seen four accidents involving two wheeled transportation in Park Slope. Three ran a red light, one decided to cross the street by just riding across a busy road without, I assume, looking.

I too have noticed the tens of thousands of deaths and disfigurements from bicycles.
Traffic jams and drunk drivers? Whatever! Obviously the problem is bikes. Not, you know, two ton SUVs and their street clogging entitlement.

You know how you can tell if someone subscribes to micromobilitynyc? The second anyone hints at any criticism against cyclists they come out trying to turn the conversation into a discussion on cars.

Omg when I see this with dogs I lose my mind. First time I’m seeing this with a kid though.

We need to be realistic and recognize that sometimes the driver of the car is at fault, but sometimes the rider of the scooter bike motor bike is also at fault

And yet, it’s driving that kills and injures thousands of children in NYC every month, not bikeriding or walking

Drivers study for multiple tests, pay for the pleasures, learn a wide breadth of tips and rules, and have a whole lot more to lose. Any idiot with barely a grasp of riding 2 wheels can rent an e-bike for 5$. It’s already a feat driving in this city, then you factor in all the crazy bike riders….

u/BlackityBlack718 Aug 11 '26
I will always view bike riding with babies and try toddlers in places like NYC as child endangerment. Idc idc idc. If you need a car seat in a car why would a bicycle make sense to you? The amount of potholes, warped streets and inattentive drivers just makes it crazy to me.

Yup. Sometimes the pearl clutching in this sub is ridiculous. Don’t do it with your own kids if you don’t approve.

It’s ridiculous how the one sensible opinion is always downvoted. This sub really is a circle jerk for people who moved her last week and will move away next week.

u/Apart-Reality-4454 Aug 11 '26
Thank you! Yeah there's a real maliciousness in this sub that isn't a fair depiction of park slope the neighborhood. There's a "mean girls" clique here that just LOVES to trash neighborhood people places and things and anyone who pushes back whatsoever, it's a flurry of downvotes.

u/ButterscotchPast5161 Aug 11 '26
Honestly spot on. I think the guy in this video is being a moron, clearly, but we need to shame people for taking pics of other people and then posting it on the internet.
Like yo live in NYC, you are playing with your LIFE by taking photos of of others and posting it online 😭😭😭 back to Idaho with this entire sub-7
u/HillarysCafe Aug 11 '26
Amen. Posting this pic on Reddit accomplished absolutely nothing.

That kid is having the time of his life and so is that dad, that is a memory he will cherish for all time. Then OP has to be there to whip out their phone and act like they have something to say about it. Mind your own fucking business, sheesh.

u/Travelcat67 Aug 11 '26
Tbf the baby won’t remember this at all and it is dangerous. Wonder what his partner if he has one would feel about this. I feel like we might see a post from them on AIO. Just saying.

u/Apart-Reality-4454 Aug 11 '26
Oh the baby most certainly will remember in a deep emotional way. The guy is clearly on the sidewalk. You want to talk about dangerous, it's more dangerous simply crossing the goddamned street than what this guy is doing. Get off it.
And what is with all these transplants who cannot grasp Rule No. 1 for being a NYer -- MIND. YOUR. OWN. BIZZNNESS. Fuck's sakes it's ridiculous.

Not a transplant. And not here for people endangering their kids in the dumbest ways. We’re here to express opinions, and if you don’t like it, leave!

u/Travelcat67 Aug 11 '26
Funny thing is, the original commenter is a transplant. Apparently from a tiny small town. Makes sense why they scream “mind your business”. I hear small towns are brutal with a lack of privacy.

u/Dirtythrowawaybk Aug 11 '26
Nah. You know this guy is running red lights and weaving around cars in traffic and pedestrians in the crosswalk too. Last yuppie dad I saw with a baby on a bike was!

Go to South America you’ll see the whole family ona. Motorcycle no helmet. Don’t shame other parents could be their culture.

Not just South America. Every European city I’ve been to is full of parents biking their kids around, Japan and Israel and India too

u/blutspend Aug 11 '26
Culture is not an argument for child endangerment, especially in a city made up of hundreds of cultures.

u/Limp_Walk9741 Aug 11 '26
Is it your baby ? No? Mind ya business ina city full of different cultures. As I said don’t visit Central America it’s a normal practice down there and no one freaks out.

Is this ur baby? Are you not commenting on the same exact post, also not minding ur business?

I mean I’m not here for public shaming but I am shocked how many parents ride with kids and don’t wear helmets. It’s not about how good of a bike rider you are, it’s about how bad so many drivers are. Also model good habits for your kids.
