How Biking
Changes Lives
Life Balance -
I spend everyday running from one task to the next. When some of my trips are on a bike, I recapture little pockets of time when I am investing in my own health and peace of mind, rather than only catering to the needs of family and career all day.

My Community -
When your kid is on board in a cargo bike, drivers and pedestrians almost always interact with you in a positive way. It's rare for me to take a trip without getting questions, thumbs up, or obvious smiles and cheers folks in the community.
I also love how easy it is to pop into neighborhood spots. I never have to be concerned about parking, which makes last minute stops to our local bakery for a cookie or a nearby playground very easy.

The End of
"Exercise Guilt" -
I spent years vowing to exercise after work and NEVER DOING IT. Then I would feel guilty, vow to do better going forward... and repeat.
Now that I bike commute, I never feel guilty. I do a reasonable amount of exercise just getting to and from work, and the rest of the day is mine to do with what I wish!!

Enjoy the Beauty
Around Us -
I'm able to access the beauty of our city, get exercise and most importantly show my young girls that commuting by bike is fun! I can get to my destination faster via bike, get exercise and never waste time parking. Since my girls are being raised via cargo bike, the car is optional, and when we do need to take it they protest, as they find it stuffy. The freedom, exhilaration and experience of the outdoors rivals the confinement of a car.

I design custom computer systems for complex businesses. I can spend HOURS trying to solve a difficult system integration issue without success; then 30 minutes into my bike commute home... the perfect idea comes to me that will solve all the issues! My commute is frequently both the most enjoyable AND the most productive part of my day.

Love My Commute and More Time to Connect -
Family biking is one of the best parts of life. Its not just for cycle nuts, or athletes at all. There is no spandex, no sweating, nor any calculating the weight of your bike. It isn't hard, and you don't need to be an expert rider. My children love it and time spent commuting, which used to be mostly just being angry at drivers and traffic is now spent mostly just conversing with my boy and exploring our town/city.

Magical Mornings -
I bring my son to daycare on a cargo bike. It's great to recognize someone we know walking to daycare, and pull over and walk the bike the rest of the way on the sidewalk, having a lovely conversation in the morning. I also love it when my son sings. For whatever reason, he's much more likely to sing on the bike than in the car. So sometimes I get to bike through the city singing with him.

Body Positivity -
While biking I regularly think, “Its pretty bad@#$ that my legs are propelling me from my home, all the way to my job, 2 towns away”. I now view my body as an “awesome instrument, rather than a flawed ornament to be critiqued”.
