Kent & Essex Monkey Meet

I am similar too. Had 8 years of commuting into central London by cycle, 4 of them on fixed gear. Gave all that up last year though in favour of an engine.

I stiil have to cycle in two days a week at least as I have to pick my daughter up. I then put her on the back of my bike & pedal the both of us home. I can't put her on the chaly cos I'm only on CBT, Every time I have to pedal us up a hill, I think to myself that I must save up & get that full licence as quick as possible.
the other four days a week, I enjoy my journey to & from work....

Sounds like your off spring are younger than mine. Wouldnt fany trying to lift my daughter onto my bike

She's only 8 and she's tiny, so it's not that bad.
On the other hand; my boy is 13 and only about an inch smaller than me.
it goes without saying that he doesn't get "backies" on my pushbike anymore....

Lol, backies. That reminds me of being a kid back in the 70s.

Was the 80's for me.
Great decade, all bmx's & bad music.....
