100% true!
On a bike, we're more equal as a family than in a car, where we, as parents, sit in the front seat and direct contact with our children in the back is much more superficial and functional.
Cycling together creates memories; driving together doesn't!

It doesn’t make any sense but we don’t care: Brian and I agree that no amount of money we could suddenly win would be able to replace the community of friend and family we’ve built in Shaw and could get us to leave. Proximity and closeness and community is more important to us than money.
