I get busy weekends. On Sunday here one of the wheels on our trailer pram completely shit itself. The axle broke and is stuck inside the pram by the release pin, now the wheel is bent out of place and I can't get it out.
Then on getting home after that expedition the garage door broke. So our car with the baby seats in it was stuck inside and our other means of getting the kids around was also broken.
I've had a few problems with the trailer pram recently, so I'm almost thinking of selling it and the ebike, and getting something like a Tern so I can do the work commute and cart the kids around with a single unit. The trailer pram makes navigating some things a bit cumbersome, so something the size of a normal bike would be great.
I’ve always wanted that experience of living somewhere where I could put the kids in a bike trailer and go to town. But we live in hell (rural suburban America).
I'm on the cusp of it in metro suburban Australia but I'm able to make it work.
Unfortunately we still live too far out for it to replace a car, so you have all that space in the garage taken up and all the expenses of both another car and a bike. But it's great and the kids love it
