That was very well said, Pheidippides, thanks. I'm with you on most of that. We all have different roles to play in the shift that is (slowly) happening. I've long felt that the most important thing I do is getting around by bus or on foot, and showing others how easy that is by not being heard complaining about it. Forums like this can be good to vent frustrations so I don't need to do so to car-commuting coworkers or others.
Good on you for teaching your son to ride well. My kids are not much younger than yours, and I'm very proud that, most trips they take are not by car, and getting in the car to go somewhere is abnormal for them. Someone at church the other day asked us if we just walk in the summertime, and I was very pleased when my toddler informed her that "no, you can walk in winter, too."
