I have three kids and don't drive a car. I actually didn't bike a lot either because I was nervous on roads. I finally realized that something needed to change with school and work commutes and activities, so test drove a bunch. I was hooked and it's changed our lives. I've done 1,000 miles in seven months. We use it for everything! I feel safe, it's fun, it's great exercise. The only thing I regret is not getting it sooner.
