audre Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 We have 2 young kids, 1 car and I ride my bicycle to work. At the moment on the two days my wife works she drops the kids off in the car, parks the car back at home and then buses to work. I cycle to work early, leave early and cycle home and then use the car to pick them up. Jumping straight onto your bike at work can see you home relatively quickly in some cases, before public transport in my current case. We have also used a tow along bike to drop a child at kindy and then detach it, cycle to work and re-attach at pickup. Kids love it and bicycles seem to offer more options to us in the daily logistics than a car would as cars are often pretty useless in cities due to parking issues etc. In Brisbane I cycle every week of the year...morning and afternoon commute are pleasant a very high percentage of the time. In other cities YMMV. I see more and more bicycles on my commute these days. A lot more women too which is great. Such a great way to get to work, I really love it. that sounds like a great solution, thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight7 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I think if you were in the middle of Melb or Sydney you might survive without a car. Not otherwise though unless you lead a very quiet life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul1977 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 that sounds like a great solution, thanks for sharing! I'm guessing you don't live 25km + outside the city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
