Last Thursday I picked up my 7 yr old on our tandem and you had to see the reaction that we got from teachers, students and parents. I'm officially the weird Dad that rides a bike for purposes other than recreation. The look on their face is priceless.

Victory over Gas Guzzlers!

We live about 1/2 - 3/4 mile from school. But, she would rather drive than walk or ride a bike with the kids. My wife seems to be one of them. We live about 1/2 – 3/4 mile from school.
