Over the weekend parents P!nk and Carey Hart took their daughter Willow on her very first motorcycle ride. On Sunday Hart, a living legend on the BMX / motocross circuit, shared the above Instagram photos of what was a very important moment for him as a dad.
Hart wrote:
Been waiting for this day for a very long time. Willz went for her 1st ride on my motorcycle around the pits today. She was pumped the whole time. When we stopped, she gave me a big hug and said it was fun, thank you Papa. That’s my girl.
Shortly after sharing the pic, followers started laying into Hart and P!nk for allowing their young daughter to go around riding on a motorcycle without a helmet. For example:
tobyns62 Im sure it was awesome for both but poppa where’s the baby’s helmet? Anything can happen at any time, saftey first.
laylasp211 Ironic that you are protecting her ears but not her head!
Fans of Willow’s mom know that P!nk isn’t one to hold back her opinions or step away from a fight. As folks continued to pepper her Twitter feed with criticism, the singer finally had enough and fired back.
If any of u have more experience on a bike than my husband, then I will listen to your opinions on how he should take my daughter for a ride

“@AshleyESweeney: @Pink wait until she’s 16 and let her decide for herself. Bikes are no joke!” Yeah ok. I’ve never met you but that’s great

“@AnjaMganja: @Pink maybe he should just take her for a Walk..”that sounds super fun

“@MFemur: @Pink Honestly.. I wouldn’t like the idea of a child so young being on a bike.” Then I don’t recommend it for your child

Do you have any problems with P!nk and Carey taking Willow for a MX bike ride without a helmet on?
