- an27 9y agoThat's why you build separate bike lanes. It works fine for the Netherlands, but it does require a large investment in bicycle infrastructure.
- sobani 9y agoYou mean countries like Germany, Holland or Denmark? I suggest you google for "fiets met kinderzitjes" (bike with child seats) to get examples of how you can transport 2 small children on one regular bike. Once the children get older they can get their own bike. If you need to transport more than 2 children, get yourself a second parent or a bike that's designed to take cargo (yes I just called your children cargo). My mother raised me and my sister on her own, using just a bike.
