With traffic such as it is in Madison, I find that I can get around on bike in about the same amount of time as I can via car (at least in the downtown/near east area). And, it's definitely as fast as the bus is. You get slowed down a wee bit hauling the little ones around. But, think of all the muscles you'll develop.
Soren goes for runs with me in the winter in the bike trailer. The whole thing closes up and I put a quilt on him, too. When I open it, it's toasty warm in there. Soren loves to ride in it. He usually has a book or a snack and just kind of hangs out. The biggest problem is that he tries to talk to me while I'm running and I can't hear him because his voice is all muffled. Then, he gets annoyed and starts yelling about how he wants it open. On 10/27/05, Larry C. Lyons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Now the big work - convincing Wendy. > > Lunch was typical today.
