Is this a good idea

Whilst following a bus into Nottingham today, I noted this full rear end advert on the back of it http://www.bare-bones.org/
So I thought a look would be in order as it must be something to do with bikes.

Now I am not quite sure what they are aiming at, but it seems a safety related issue for kids on scoots :dunno:

I think young kids tend to see their scooters as a bit of an upgrade from their push-bikes and just seem to jump on them in whatever they happen to be wearing. Anything that gets them to cover up a bit more has to be a good thing, even if it's only a pair of jeans and a fleece and gloves.

I went to Cyprus on my hols a few weeks back and over there they go everywhere on superbikes in shorts and t-shirt/vest. I know it's probably too hot for leathers but you'd think the loons would at least cover their arms and legs.

They also mainly ride helmetless as the legal requirement is to HAVE a helmet, not to wear a helmet. So they ride round with the helmet threaded on their arm or over the mirror
