    Yeah, this photo is fake, but when I see boomer comments on other sites on photos all I can think is “survivor bias”

      Why do you say this photo is fake? My dad used to take me for rides just like this. One of his favorite stories to tell is about having to toss me off as it was going to fall over, and how I was having a blast, but my mother was not nearly so excited. I was around two at the time.

        Same, when you were too small to reliably hold on, you ride in the front. I remember the first time riding on the back (probably 4-5) and remembering how much more it sucked because I couldn’t see shit… That was a lifetime ago though lol.
