Bike Forums - Hi from North Carolina

Hello from rural North Carolina! I was a daily bike commuter in DC in a previous life, but down here in the south, car is king and I have to come up with excuses and time to get in the saddle. Now I'm a new mom and looking to get the whole family out on bikes on the weekends once the tot is old enough, hopefully eventually working our way up to some bike camping. The Spot's still going strong, but I'm fighting the urge to pick up a cheap vintage steel bike after eyeing all the cool Trek Multitracks on this forum (plus seeing my hubby's sweet Surly hanging in the shed day in and day out :))
