We moved from beautiful Valencia, CA this summer to less-but-still-beautiful NV. There were paseos that connected everything I loved in Valencia, and I spent many happy miles on my Betty Foy frequenting parks, favorite shopping districts and church. I even had another at-home mom and her 2 kiddos to accompany me. My new home is up on a mountain, and boasts no paseos. There is nothing but homes for miles and miles. It takes 20min to get to the store by car. I'm able to bike to school with my boys, but it is only 0.5 mile one way. Church is on school property, so I can bike that same route 6 days per week, but it isn't enough. I miss bike commuting because I love doing useful things on my bike - I don't like to cruise with no place or plan in mind. I miss having another mom on my adventures. I'm the only mother who bikes with her kids to school. There are almost 1,000 students at school and there is one dad (mountain bike with disc brakes) I see bike with his son most days. One mom I see on her cruiser bike once every blue moon. It's lonely. And I don't think we'll be moving again for several years. I have a beautiful Betty Foy that practically begs to be ridden and I just don't get her out enough. I'm grateful for the school commute, I just gotta figure out where else I can go... I would guess some of you guys had times in your life where you had to live in a less-than-bikey community. How did you deal?
