School bike, instead of school run
Since our move to the country however, I'm less worried about them not getting enough exercise because they ride their bikes to school. For my three eldest kids that's about 6 miles each way, and for my two youngest sons 1,5.
When they were younger I made them wear helmets, but nowadays they ride their bikes bareheaded. Around here, nobody wears a helmet when they're on their bike. Only the very young kids, who still listen to their parents…
Taking your kids with you on bike: what are the options?
Dutch moms are well-known for their ability to ride a bike, with one child in the front, one in the back while all the while also sporting a grocery bag!
During my kids' Baby Years I got one of those handy child trailers. I could put my baby in there, and my toddler, but I never really felt comfortable because I couldn't keep my eyes on them.
There are parents out there who ride their bike, with their baby strapped onto their body with a baby carrier. I'm not sure about this though. If you take a tumble, there's no telling whát could happen to your baby...
When kids' outgrow the child trailer, you can move on to a kids trailer bike. You attach the kids trailer bike to your bike, turning your bike into a tandem bicycle, and your kid literally tags along. What I like about thÃs system is that you don't have to worry about your kid surprising you with a sudden left turn.
On Leisures Lakes Bikes you can find lots of nifty systems, you can use to take bike rides with your kids.
Do you or/and your kids ride a bike? And how do you take your kids with you, when you're riding your bike?

Contrary to popular belief moms do nót have eyes in their back!
