Cycling

I was really looking forward to taking Michael out on the bike this spring when he reaches nine months old. My baby clinic "Growth Book" states that cycling before nine months is a no-no. I started looking online for a helmet for him and came across a number of sites advising that babies should not be on a bike until they are at least one year old. Gutting! There are multiple problems with it, one being that the neck muscles are insufficient to support the weight of a helmet and even on Dutch ultra-safe cycle paths I wouldn't risk cycling anywhere with him not wearing a helmet. So... no cycling to Lisse to see the tulip fields until next year :'-(
