    cycling…25 to 50 miles per day

    Dude that’s 2-4 hours a day! I’m jealous of how much time you have that you can spend cycling! I have to do my rides after the kids go to bed so that limits me to about 2 hours before it gets too dark in the summer to safely keep going on the rural trails

      I’m a school bus driver! It’s a great gig because on school days I have plenty of time for a 25 mile ride between my morning and afternoon runs, and on weekends and in the summer I have enough time for a 50 every morning.

      Maybe you could tow your kids in one of those deathtraps some people use? I dunno, kids always look so fucking miserable in those things.

        Omg chicken lady! I didn’t read your username! Im still keeping school bus driving in mind as a backup career based on one of your earlier comments about it!

        I actually do do that! The kids love riding in the trailer but they’re rapidly outgrowing it, plus I live somewhere super hilly and that much rolling resistance and added weight is really hard to get more than a couple of miles with, except my kids are too small for most kid bikes and I can’t seem to get them to build any confidence once I do have them on bikes that they fit. They’re a really tough combination of sizes, ages, confidence and motor control levels that just makes biking shockingly hard for them right now
