    No, it isn't beyond the pale. Come here, offer an opinion, and prepare to be offered contrary opinions.

    I'm not blaming niall24, I'm blaming his wife for being a typical reactionary hysterical parent.

    If I were a parent (not that it has any bearing on the discussion) I'd spend more time teaching my children how to use the roads safely, than I would worrying about high-visibility vests and helmets. I used to climb ropes down cliffs, and go running around tips, when I was a child, as did nearly all my friends.

    Children don't have childhoods any more, they have paranoid parents too afraid to let them make their own mistakes. I didn't like the broken bones I suffered, but I'm glad I suffered them.


    We are NOt Paraniod parents all our children play in the mud when the garden floods and have fun, they are NOT wrapped in cotton wool or stopped from doing anything even if they end up getting dirty.
    They also play out in the RAIN:eek:
    When they used to fall over they where told to get up nothing broken. the son who had the accident has taken and passed the cycling
    proficiency test.
    As for the hi-viz and helmet like the police said it is not trendy.
    Oh and our three year little girl wear's dress's and helps me when i fix a car or a bike and she love's getting dirty>!!!!!!
    It is also a proven fact that the helmet saves lives and serious injury most times.
