[quote=Anonymous]How old are the kids? I know a family that bought an electric assist bike with a lot of storage instead of a second car and it works great. They can do grocery runs on it no problem, and the spouse who is WFH can use it to get around locally while the commuting spouse has the car during the day.

But their kids are little and can both ride on the bike. I don't know what their plan is for when the kids outgrow the bike seats. I think their school is close so they'll probably walk or bike to school, though I guess that doesn't solve the issue of if one of your kids are sick. Though how often does that happen? It seems like doing an Uber in that rare event wouldn't be a big deal.

Electric assist bikes are very pricy for bikes but much cheaper than cars, and don't have to be insured in the same way. Plus easier to store and much better for the environment. I had never really considered one before but now we are considering a move to the suburbs from the city and one of my top issues is that I don't want to get a second car. So now we're exploring this option.[/quote]
