[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is he proposing he would do e-bike commute and you would do what? What is his actual plan? We are in Adams Morgan family with an e-bike, and i'm your typical barely over 5 ft female and i cannot even take one kid on the bike as the bike plus kid weigh more than I do and it's terrifying to me. Have him figure out YOUR commute. And if that means you spend 2 hours of your day on the bus and not making dinner/etc whatever it is that you would be doing - is he willing to pick up the slack?[/quote]

OP here. [b]We would both e-bike, each taking some days. [/b]I'm tall and pretty strong, and I have commuted by bike in the past (though not with children!!) Neither of us have ever written a bike with a kid on it and I have no idea how that feels. I guess I was picturing one of those little trailers? I dunno, I started a separate thread on this.

I would just say no to this.  The whole conversation is nuts to me -- neither of you have ebiked with a kid but buying a massive ebike to tote THREE kids around mornging and afternoon is somehow a more reasonable solution than buying a car, moving closer to the school, or going to a school that's his #2?

I feel like people who stay in the city because they want to live somewhere walkable have a hard time admitting that everything isn't walkable.  Like sure, you can walk to the grocery store and pharmacy and farmer's market but accessing every amenity in every corner of the city isn't on the table 10x/week for a family with no car.

Riddle me this: you have no car, three kids at ITDS, an e-Bike, and get a call that one kid threw up and needs to be picked up early.  Are you e-biking across the city 4 times that day to do two pickups and two dropoffs?  Logistically none of this makes sense![/quote]
