You don't even need a special bike for 3 kids

Well, and then the police stops you and fines you for child endangerment and unsafe behaviour on the road. I'm not the overprotective kind, but this example is one of extreme recklessness.

This isn't even the only problem with kids ... Groceries for a family of 5 you won't be taking on a bike or public transport. Too heavy. Too bulky.

Since the first UK lockdown I've been doing all my grocery shopping for my family of 5 by bike.

I go a bit more often than I would have done by car, and I've started buying all my meat separately at a local butcher.

But it's amazing how much you can fit into 2 panniers and a rack.
