Xeney- congrats to your DH on his new job!!! No small feat getting a job these days.

Get someone to take picture of you and your daughter strapped up and ready to go on your pink mixte- we want to see!
Anyone who bikes with a small child on their bike has my awe and admiration.

Yes, isn't it funny how new ways just don't occur to us when we are used to doing them by a certain familiar means?
I am finding I really need to shake the cobwebs out of my knoggin concerning car vs. bike uses. Most people (including myself these days) don't realize how much a bike can really do if you plan carefully. I am learning about that more each week and having many "AHA!" moments.

(Of course it goes without saying that some people just plain live too far from everything to make bicycle use very practical. I'm certainly grateful I'm not in that situation.)
