I can think of a lot of people who live a lot more irresponsibly than raising six children to think that cycling is a normal way to travel and transport loads of stuff, helmets or not. I think she rocks

She *could* be driving a giant gas-guzzling SUV and helping to pollute the planet, but she's choosing a greener alternative and teaching her children an alternative way to live life. Gotta hand it to a neurologits' wife to not be driving that luxury SUV and getting on a bike instead. I teach many kids that have high-profile doctors for moms and dads- and you can bet none of those moms would ever imagine riding a bike. The horror!!
I say, go girl!!
Great article- thanks for sharing!

on her kids wanting to just get in a car instead or riding: "They've lost that sense of driving. They've forgotten what it's like to even be in a car"
LOVE IT!!!
