I just think it's important for people to know they don't HAVE to buy all the gear to ride in the fall and winter months. It's about choice, and speaking from experience, it's easy to feel like you can't ride until you have the jacket, pants, gloves and such, which can be a huge expense. If you have time, check out my husband's article for Hush Magazine - http://www.hushmagazine.ca/towards+a+slower,+simpler,+more+civilized+bicycle+culture/blog/395/14/<br /><br />We are just working to make cycling accessible to everyone, and moving away from the idea that it's a sport for just a dedicated few. I think the fact that your family and others that we know ride with your kids is fantastic and the best way to change things!Melissa Bruntletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12273677421225992084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892532200449973847.post-43646230671340431312012-09-29T07:44:55.988-07:002012-09-29T07:44:55.988-07:00Thanks for posting.

And makes even those rainy rides enjoyable too.Fionanoreply@blogger.com
