Elle MacPherson has been heavily criticised after being photographed cycling in London with her 5-year-old son Aurelius Cy sat on her handlebars. Jo Stagg, a spokesman for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said, “It is both illegal and dangerous to carry more than one person on a bike that's not designed for it,” adding, “There are issues with balance and it is easy to fall off. A child on the front handlebars could affect the cyclist's ability to see, steer and balance, and we would not advise parents to carry children in this way - ever."
