Riding a bike hauling baby trailer with little kids

Riding a bike hauling baby trailer with little kids

First of all we are a family of 5 with 3 kids age range from 10,5,to 1 years old.

After couple months ebaying ( if you read earlier post Becoming minimalist)  I want to do more on our debt eliminating!!! So I am going to do something drastically but not that impossible.

After my husband car lease is ended end of last year. I am getting brave and decided that we could do only with one car. I am testing for the next 6 months just till the school end in June if we can go without two cars. So I am riding bike 1 hour (30 mins one way )to pick up my boys two times week. 

We pretty fortunate to have friends as neighbors live close by and carpooling for kids to school and back so I only pick up my kinder since his school is off early.

Today is my third ride to picking my boy up from school. It was hard at first but told myself that I will only getting stronger so I keep doing it and playing with my mountain bike gear shifts. I am not an expert biker by no mean. I just do it. This biking is motivated by reading a blog: Mr Money Mustache.

I have cars 3 times a week ( that is why I ride bike 2 times a week) so does my husband. So Sunday is our day together.

Amazingly I am more productive than when I had a car to myself. I need to be more organized and prepared ahead of time before I left the house, so far so good.
