Some excellent comments:
I think this Racoon is setting a great example to other pets who are not active enough. Hopefully, my cat, which just sits around until it's dinner time, will see this and decide to take up cycling.
If they trained badgers to ride bikes it would give them a fighting chance in the cull. The RSPCA wouldn't be so quick to criticise then.
No Helmet, gloves or knee pads, what kind of example does this send out to other animals.
