I have wanted to be completely car free for years. I currently limit my vehicle usage as much as possible. My reasons are not all that grand, they are mostly selfish. I love riding my bike and I hate wasting money on gas/vehicle maintenance. However I have a 5 year old daughter, it has become increasingly hard to transport her as she grows. I don't mind riding in the winter/late summer, but worry about her. So I don't commute with her. Problem is I am a single father. She is always with me. When I go to work I take her to school/daycare. I would love to be completely car free, but am unsure where to start. Any help with managing children, and hot/cold weather on a bike would be appreciated. Or managing children on a bike for cheap. Trailers, xtracycles, and trailgators are kind of expensive. Any advice would be appreciated.
