Hey Munk,
Cool Introduction, and yeah, it's gonna cost you, but think of it as an investment in happiness. What better way to spend time with your children that being in the outdoors and excercising. Why not get the wife a bike as well. My wife and I ride with our 3 year old in the baby seat on my bike. Also, my brother-in-law rides, and both my in-laws(both in the early 60's). When we go riding, it's a huge family affair.
