Should her silence encourage me toward my fantasy about this bike?<BR/><BR/>I told G. I am considering selling my van for this bike. She said, "but that van was your dream car a few years ago," and I told her it still is, but I still have a dream bike to think about.<BR/><BR/>Still, she has a point. We rely on the van for times when we have more than two kids in the car, which will increase as we expand our family over the coming years. Also, G. is right that currently because she is traveling an hour and a half to visit her parents and sister about once a week, we can't do without two cars through the winter when it is snowy on the ground.<BR/><BR/>I think the moped would be great for you getting to work, but you are right that it is pretty inflexible because there wouldn't be a time you could use it with the kids. How much does a little electric car cost?<BR/><BR/>Still, I cling to my bike dreams. Part of it too is that I know I was healthier when I relied more on my bike for transportation, and that is something I want to pass onto my kids too.<BR/><BR/>I don't know!?Masasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00783902610798734846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131651065707503982.post-31830056902470709612008-06-12T11:43:00.000-04:002008-06-12T11:43:00.000-04:00I like it!

Is that supposed to be nicer to ride?<BR/>We've thought about bikes for our 2nd mode of transport, but that doesn't seem like it will work all the time. We're leaning toward a moped, but then we can't put the kids on that. Maybe a little all electric car.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07884797351411470248noreply@blogger.com
