I definitely have many coworkers with children who bike them to daycare, to soccer practice, and elsewhere, even at decent distances. If you're going to move to the newest suburb the farthest from your job and you're in a situation where one spouse works in St. Jacobs, another in Galt, and choose a daycare in Breslau, but want to live in Woolwich, (don't laugh, that was a coworker of mine), well yes, I would expect you'd find it harder. But I also know colleagues whose jobs and daycares aren't at all walkabout but still manage a good commute by bike. It's not impossible, it's only what we make of it. I'm not surprised that I know someone who lives west of Galt and works in St. Jacobs, that he drives to work. I do find it a bit bizarre that he expects that transit or cycling should have the exact same commute time or not be financially supported at all...
