Welcome to the club! Kstier can you put your location in the profile? We are a curious bunch and like to know where other commuters pedal. I hope that the rides home are nice.
[MENTION=441621]SteffyMacD[/MENTION] A properly adjusted bike seat can make huge difference in comfort, endurance, and power. Ahh the interweb, answering questions you didn't know you ever had.

I went for a 16 km family ride last weekend. I pulled/got pushed the little man on his trail-a-bike. My wife pulled the girl in the trailer, she was a champ on the hills. In addition it was pretty warm out and we were beat. I really noticed my right quad was very fatigued and that I have issues keeping my left foot on the platform pedal when shifting or applying power, I may have to try clipless and see how my leg likes them. Overall I felt good and I am glad my limitations seem to be endurance and power based.

We didn't make it all the way home, we got too tired/hot and had a birthday party we were already late for so we took a car share. Which probably took as long after loading everything into and onto the prius. BCAA (BCs AAA) has a Car2Go competitor which is a 4 door prius, with roof racks for skis and two bikes; I really like their cars and they are a great option.

My wife is doing better with the return to cycling but still is easing into it, we will just take it slow as a family. We have been having discussions about getting me an e-assist bike. I am still torn on it, but I think that it is a practical idea. I am not sure what set-up I would like best.

Without cycling this summer, I have found my tolerance for the warm weather is very diminished from my already pathetic coping with heat. I used to be able to be comfortable with low 70s and now it seems since I am not active and gotten more round I am comfortable in the low-mid 60s. I generally never like it too warm and I have always run hot but this is getting ridiculous.
