As for the HAD, I'm a big Bike Friday fan (I own some) but I totally get the aesthetics part. Funny how I never had that "car love" so many people do have, but I can lust after bicycles, lol.
I think I'll start with commuting every day once we move, the commute home takes too long at the moment to feasibly be able to get my daughter from daycare (ride home, drop bike off, drive to daycare... The big dummy would fix most of this, just ride to daycare then home)
My daughter is 3 now and asks to ride every day after daycare... Makes me so proud!
I have been into both cars and bikes as long as I can remember, and I work in the auto industry (tech at chevy) so I kinda lust after both. Bike more than cars, but oh well
