I bought one a year ago specifically to take my kids to school and it’s been an absolute delight. I get a slight workout, the kids get fresh air (and they love riding on it). I’m convinced everyone would be much happier if school drop offs were 70% bikes rather than 90% cars.

But the ride to my kids school has isolated bike lanes for the vast majority of the trip. Most people aren’t so lucky and will (rightly) fear the idea of taking their kids on a bike. It’s such a shame.
