Ok, I'll bite. How do I get my family to church? 4 kids between 1 and 6. 6 miles from home. It would be nice if we didn't smell when we arrived.

Here you go; fits 4 kids easily and is electric so you won’t smell bad: https://bunchbike.com/products/the-original-electric-cargo-bike?variant=31804586360883&matchtype=&network=g&device=m&keyword=&campaign=1650227759&adgroup=pla-900020121316&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIg9ugptzt7wIV5AN9Ch1FhwtXEAQYASABEgJozPD_BwE https://bunchbike.com/products/the-original-electric-cargo-b...

Assuming you have a partner, each adult has two kids on their bike (one front seat, one back seat). At 6 the eldest can even cycle by themselves if you push. I'm Dutch and this is completely normal here. I used to have this bike with an extra front seat and regularly cycled places with 4 kids (4-7) by myself (pushing one on their own bike): https://kokfietsen.nl/image/cache/data/Azor%20Catalogus/069-A%20AZOR%20TWEELINGFIETS%20NN8E%2049CM%20ZWART%20ALUMINIUM%20OPTIE%20ELECTRISCH%20%20FRAME%20%20KINDERZITJES%20NIET%20MEEGELEVERD-1000x1000.jpg https://kokfietsen.nl/image/cache/data/Azor%20Catalogus/069-... But then again, this country is really flat. Edit: with kids 6 miles is a stretch, not that it's super hard, but you'll often be tempted to just take the car. If you upgrade to an e-bike that temptation will be a LOT less.

  Also, that 6 miles probably would be a bit less in a city with less space allotted to on-street parking and car lanes.

Cargo bikes for the 2 adults. It's the norm here in Stockholm. Well, 4 kids is not the norm. But 2 kids in a cargo bike is the norm.

If cities weren’t designed around cars, your church wouldn’t be six miles away in the first place. People in non-auto-centric countries all over the world take their families to church and everywhere else you listed.

In European cities you usually walk to church because it's not 6 miles away, there aren't massive 6 lane roads taking up valuable city space.
