A new bike commuter in town!
I took my 1 year old daughter to the daycare for the first time today...
...and of course she starts her life of daily commuting on the right foot: on daddy's bike
Imagine, she will be doing the daily commuting until retirement age
and we will get her used to bikes from the start.
I really want to raise my kids without depending on a car for commuting. After all, she really loves riding in the back of daddy's bike

Very Cool!
I was doing that with my daughter going to preschool every day when our schedules aligned. She was on the tagalong. She loved it and she thought she was the coolest kid in the class.
I just wish I kept I schedule where I could continue to do that with her.

I hope she will be riding bikes after she retires, but it will not be "commuting". I still have 35 years or so until retirement myself.
