Tips for cycling with infants in hot weather

[heguli]

C'mon, parents. You're rollin' in the heat with infants? That's a risky ride. A flimsy shade ain't enough for real protection. Prioritize your kid's health over your workout. I get it, cycling's our jam, but not when it endangers the little ones.

So, what's the hold-up with proper gear? It's not just about pedaling; it's about safety first. And don't even think about blaming busy schedules or tight budgets. We're talkin' about your kid's well-being here!

And for those defendin' the "quick ride" excuse, let me tell ya - there's no such thing when it comes to extreme heat. It's all about makin' smart choices for your infant's safety. Time to rethink that ride schedule, folks.

So, are these parents really thinking it through? I mean, it’s not just about strapping the kid in and hitting the road. You can’t just assume everything’s cool because you’ve got a helmet on. What about the heat? What about the comfort? A quick ride isn’t worth frying a baby in the sun.

I get it, cycling is great. But how do you justify risking a kid’s health for your own workout? Are they just hoping for the best and ignoring the obvious?

And let’s be real, if you’re cruising without any shade or ventilation, what’s the plan? Just a quick stop in the shade? That’s not a game plan; that’s wishful thinking.

So what’s the deal? Do they have a secret stash of cooling gear we don’t know about? Or is it just a case of “it’ll be fine”? How do they even rationalize that?
