    A few winters back I saw one day walking down an icy path with a toddler on his shoulders. Pillock.

    I often cycle with my daughter (eight) in the piggy back position when I pick her up from school and I'm on a cycle commute day. Arms round my neck, legs round my waist. On a drop bar bike she's practically lying down, it's secure as you like (and she loves it!)

    To be fair it's 1/4 mile on residential streets but I've had a few tuts.

    On the shoulders though? Just think of the leverage if he went over...

    Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.

    i think 8 is ok though as they have the knowledge that they can jump off from your back....obviously not going down a dh track or something :lol:

    Good old Mong Eaton.

    Knowing some of the people out of there, I very much doubt the child was going to school though

    I'd never hear of Long Eaton (living in scotland). Cracking blog (woile.blogspot.com) glassing in the pub, couple of stabbings, cannabis factory, attacks, seiges, and the feel good story Daisy, the jack russell has been found and is back home safe and well.

    Somehow Ithink Daisy was running away and not wanting to be found.
