My wife calls my bike our third child. It goes on almost all our vacations.
You can ride early in the morning, before the family gets up, or when they go to uninteresting attractions like zoos and aquariums.
We did a family vacation to Australia a few years back, and my most memorable part of the entire vacation was cycling through the city of Melbourne and in the rural back roads of Tasmania.
