Besides, it accomplishes another facet: I can do full loaded self supported touring on it.
I looked at the Haul-A-Day but it just doesn't do it for me... Aesthetic plays a large part of my choices and I simply can't get myself to like the HAD
Take your time going car lite, like I said it's not a race. You'll know what fits and when. And nothing is better than getting your kids started on biking from an early age. My son, now 31, has never owned a car and rides 50 miles a day minimum on weekends and 20 every night after work, has 2 bikes in his apartment. I used to ride with him til I got too slow, haha. 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.
