I’ll continue to subscribe to the notion that anyone who rides a bicycle, is a cyclist, since separating us into useless groups doesn’t help us or mean anything worth talking about. But I will say, that the PM, is a very inspiring person, although I’m sure plenty of people have done the same as her. But since were recognising inspiring women in bicycles, I’ll give a historical shoutout to all the midwives who have ridden bicycles to peoples homes to deliver babies into this cruel world.

I'm glad she has a helmet.

Put the baby in the helmet, in the basket.

True. I really wanted to title it "This. THIS is bad gluteus maximus" but we have a very expensive censor.

And there are some leaders of countries who are so unfit they couldn't bike to the end of the driveway.
My sister lives in NZ and thinks this is cool.

If this had been posted in A&S at least one person would have gone on a rant about how irresponsible her stunt was.

She is an adult, and I'm sure if she felt there was any risk she would have taken a car.

[MENTION=489591]MattTheHat[/MENTION], thanks for pointing this out; I keep forgetting to check dates. Hopefully the 1-year-old doesn't have a saddle-shaped dent in his/her head.

So would it have been unnecessarily dangerous to cycle the day before she was scheduled to go to the hospital?

problem is that you have assumed she was trying to make a specific point. Adding the qualifier “in my opinion”, doesn’t really change the fact that you’ve based your stance and thusly a negative opinion on a notion that you basically pulled out of thin air with nothing in the article to give even suggestion to. Or to put it more simply, you’re trying to justify your purely emotion based negative opinion through assumption.

She was cycling to the hospital to be induced, so I would take that to mean she wasn't already in labour. Cycling wouldn't cause any harm to an unborn baby - they're floating around in water.
