How so? you'd think as a father, wanting the mother to eliminate most/all risk as possible for the safety of the child would be a major priority..no? Really, think about it...she could accidentally lose footing and fall directly on her side/stomach with the bike behind her..might as well just punch her in the stomach and say "ooh well"
as parents its fairly obvious to anyone that you need to protect the child, not assume everything will be fine and continue doing the same things with the same risks. Things are changing so the mindset of the parents should too.
Not my problem though..i guess since the child isnt born yet its not as important.
