If you commute to boulder on your bikes..how far away are you or how long would it take you to reach your children in the event of an emergancy at school?
Perhpas Randy and GF could take turns riding to work so that one had a car daily in the event of an emergency.

I think your website is interesting very colorful. Good job! I feel helping job seekers finding their ream home jobs are a fulfilling quest. Good luck in your quest too.
The Beginning The working life is already tough enough, but the worries of being out of work was even tougher. The unsecured working environment have prompted me to search the internet for an alternative source of extra income so that I could learn how to Make Money Work for me and be Financially Independent. I listed down a number of Free Internet Business Opportunity Ideas while researching ways how people earn money online while working-from-home…….

Thanks N Regards

Someone else mentioned Lenore Skenazy’s Blog:

http://FreeRangeKids.com

It’s fantastic! And anyone “fearing the worst” about almost anything in our culture needs a daily dose of Free Range Thinking. BIKING TO SCHOOL is a hot topic from time to time at FreeRangeKids…. And be sure to read the visitor comments attached to the articles.

Here’s a great video Lenore did about what she calls:

Eddie, I imagine it’s probably farther than her mom and push a car with a flat tire.

Getting kids into exercise early is great.
1. I would video the route in different conditions i.e. visibility, road surface being wet, light being poor etc.
2. Ask the father of the children to take the journey with you. Could you involve him in the getting him to cycle the kids to and from school.
3. Risk of abduction, who the hell knows, what is media frenzy & the real threat. GPS Enabled mobile phones with a restricted function set may give you peace of mind.

Give the man as much dignity as you can,
The perceived risks of the father are real to him.
Remove as much of the emotion out of the discussion as possible. It takes a town to raise a child. Hopefully all 3 of you will be centrally involved in raising the children. Emotions are funny things at the best of times.
I cycle my 6 and 8 year old to school. I had to change the route as the 2 of them got into races with each other. As the Chinese say “interesting times” on the school run.

Number3, I honestly wasn’t shooting for sensationalism in the post title in this instance. It’s difficult to come up with a title that summarizes the issue without being too boring and wordy.
