I find cycling with my kids very enjoyable.  They seem to like it too, I think its the independence of going under their own steam coupled with the family time.  It costs very little and can be combined with a picnic.

Since my youngest child is only 5, my middle child unable to go in a straight line or see a car driving over her, I try and avoid roads.

Also, since Fiona, my wife, often accompanies us – the rides need to be flat.

Love this video made by Casey Neistat in reaction to being fined $50 for not using the bike lane.  It looks like that in NYC, like in Belfast, blocking the cycle lane is totally fine for both other road users and anyone else who wants too.

fortunately we do e these ridiculous rules – but in addition to the obstructions illustrated – we also have the “un-rideable” and the “disapearing” cycle paths.
