The chances are it will be a lifelong habit. </p> <p>If only more parents... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3416#post-35619 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 10:59:28 +0000 Dave 35619@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well done!</p> <p>Presumably after nursery run there's a school run to look forward to? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3416#post-35617 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 10:46:26 +0000 SRD 35617@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Today I made my last run across south Edinburgh to take my daughter to nursery. <img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6137/5936048099_545327154d.jpg">. But wanted to say thanks very much to all of you for all your support, which made us feel much less alone out there - especially those long winter mornings and nights. All the advice about riding and equipment - especially in the snow - really helped, as did the fellowship. </p> <p>Obviously we will still be riding around, and hopefully doing more long trips, but that commute (although short to some of you) was really a challenge at times, and having folks to share it with really helped. So thanks very much!!</p> <p><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6136/5936605460_18fa072fd7.jpg"> </p>
