Well, you don't seem like the type of parent who would be offended by someone else who'd prefer to have a bike than kids, but I wanted to cover my bases just in case
I think my bikes give me more consistent pleasure than my kids do
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...
