Yes, a funny story indeed, but it makes me wonder about the professionalism of the zoo in question? Perhaps less of a zoo and more of a sad menagerie of penned in exotic animals, not unlike the horrid place I went to in Hitachi a while back, next to a…

http://www.triobike.com/ This is how it should be done. Doing a balancing act with 2 kids on a bike is nuts! The kids can't break their fall if the bike goes over. A helmet will go someways towards protecting them, but it's not perfect.
