E-Bikes/Scooters & Children

54 Upvotes

Genuine question - parents, what is possessing you to purchase e-bikes & e-scooters for your YOUNG children?

I’ve been seeing kids 10-13 years old zooming around on neighbourhood roads without helmets & no concern for what they’re doing, how fast they’re going, cutting cars off etc. I’ve had a few close calls myself and it’s terrifying. I also work in healthcare so I’ve seen my fair share of brain injuries from this stuff and it’s absolutely heartbreaking. I would feel so guilty & responsible if I’m the one who put that in my child’s hands.

Why are you buying these for your kids!? It’s a motorized vehicle?! Genuinely, why?

Not to mention it’s illegal for kids under 16 yo to ride them.

Durham Dads & Kids Oshawa Generals Game – November 15

13 Upvotes

We've got a group of around 30 dads and kids signed up to watch the Oshawa Generals game on November 15, and there are still spots available if anyone would like to join us!

It's the Generals vs. Kingston Frontenacs at 2:05 PM, and also Pixar Cars Day. We've booked space in the Medallion Lounge for our group, so there'll be space for the kids to hang out and for the dads to meet each other.

Tickets are $33 per person, with kids under 2 free if sitting on a parent's lap.

You can sign up here: https://forms.gle/AnEbSp8rzKMWGuAY9

This is being organized through Durham Dads Club, a local community for dads.

If you'd like to learn more about Durham Dads Club, check out www.durhamdadsclub.ca. Happy to DM you the WhatsApp group link too if you'd like to join!
