Here it is not uncommon to cover larger distances between where you live and where your work is. Can't imagine a newspaper willing to publish a picture of this feat. But I guess that's what people call 'cultural differences'.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512412669995490110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069889176131245744.post-22757414000851873872013-02-01T22:08:56.067+11:002013-02-01T22:08:56.067+11:00That bike ride to school had to be grueling if it ...That bike ride to school had to be grueling if it was 25-minutes by car.

It was a common thing here to have these (don't see too many now though). They came before the two wheeled bikes with trainer wheels, before then graduating to two wheels.Jackie van Bergenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14108390437411946657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069889176131245744.post-11164192512947087222013-02-01T09:56:02.991+11:002013-02-01T09:56:02.991+11:00Nice collection of family members on bikes!
