It all began with an Ad in the local paper... Trade in the keys to your car for a fancy Dutch bike (De Fietsfabriek -- http://www.defietsfabriek.us/). Survive an entire month, you get to borrow the bike for the entire year. Neat! So, what's the catch?
Let's take a step back, shall we? We live in a suburb of Chicago with two kids, three and four years old, who attend pre-school 1.5 miles away. We normally take the bus, but when we get up late in the morning or the weather isn't cooperating, the car sure comes in handy. We typically drive the 2.5 miles to church on Sundays and we do 95% of our grocery shopping utilizing our car. Do we NEED the car? Maybe not, but we sure seem to find a use for it on a regular basis.
So why are we doing this? Funny you should ask... I have a feeling I'll be asking myself that very question a few times over the coming weeks. For now, my friends, let's just say it's for the love of a husband.
