Guess I’m one of the lucky ones in that I can walk kids to school and daycare (less than 1km) then cycle to work easily (less than 10km).

Yeah our local daycare centre isn't well run and unfortunately, so we had to go to the next suburb over. My partner and I don't work close to each other so... we live about half way between our two jobs. Can't really get any closer unless one of us switches careers. When I do have time to ride the bicycle to work (try to do it once a week) it's 70 minutes. Normally I take the motorbike.
