This year when I headed back to work, I tried a new routine--taking my bike to work. The highlight of my summer was definitely taking my kids out on my bike and cycling to work. It became a whole new way to see the city and enjoy the summer.
The ride home is a challenging uphill climb, but the daily endorphin rush made Mamma a very happy camper. In fact, I asked myself why I hadn't started sooner.
When I take off the baby seat and walk around downtown, I do get a few stares. But when I explain that the baby seat is worth twice as much as my bike, people usually understand.
In addition to taking my son every morning on my bike and dropping him off at daycare, I started taking a commuter cup as a preventive measure, so I wouldn't spend money on coffee and waste paper cups.
After six months of rattling, rolling and smashing around in my bike basket, the commuter cup still doesn't leak and keeps my coffee both hot and cold. When I was shopping around for one, I was told that the OXO commuter cup was the best because it didn't leak, even when it was turned upside down. And true to its word, it hasn't leaked yet.
For those interested, I have included a picture of my model, and by the way, it really has been an effective means for saving money.
