We could have all ridden to school and then me to work but didn't want to saddle the kids' granddad with having to figure out what to do with their bikes.
That's kind of how it works for me though about 70% of the time I'll end up driving 1 day. On Sunday's I look ahead at the week's schedule and pick a day to drive. I try to arrange all my errands that are facilitated by having a car for that day. Generally it works out pretty well. Sometimes things come up at the last minute and I'll end up driving a 2nd day, sometimes I won't need the car at all and I'll ride every day.
