Now that I have a son (15 months old) It is more difficult to get out on the bike. Not that its a bad thing. Sometimes I want to go for a ride, but when my son sees me leaving, he starts crying. So how do all of you handle that? There are times when I NEED to get out on the bike. Last year I only put about 3,500 miles on the bike when in previous years I averaged 8,000.
