Extreme Commuting

Yesterday, I towed the kiddies along the cycle path to grandma & papa's. It's hard enough towing the two of them at the best of times, but with the snow lying deep and crisp and even, it was tough going. Continuing on to work, I found that my bike was the only (private) vehicle in the car park. At least the sun was shining though. As darkness fell and the temperature dropped, I became concerned about the comfort of the kids on the way home, sitting stationary in a wheeled tent for 45 minutes. Luckily grandma & papa had thought of that, and furnished them with an old sleeping bag to snuggle inside. As it turned out, the snow had frozen hard and we had a speedy and cosy journey home.
