About us

This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.

Let me first of all introduce myself and the reasons for this blog, I am Sarah, I’m on the good side of 40 and live with my partner and our three young children, 8 months, 4 years, and 6 years. I didn’t ever intend on having 3 children (if you had told me in my 20s that I would end up with 3 children I would have fallen over laughing) but it turns out love having kids and here I am a proud mum of 3. The pre-kids me used to enjoy cycling, in fact when I was pregnant with my 1st I did a charity cycle – read about it here : http://lejog4mentalhealth.blogspot.com/ . However, as the years passed I found I just don’t have the time to dedicate to cycling any more.

I have always thought of myself as a fairly green minded person and having three children definitely is not a particularly green choice. So to try to reduce the negative effect that our children will might have on the planet we want our family to lead a greener cleaner lifestyle. Which brings us to this blog. It is really a record of how we are going to transition to a greener lifestyle. With the starting point of the purchase of a cargo bike.

Why blog? Well, I hope that by blogging about our use of a cargo bike that I might reach others that use cargo bikes, or encourage those that drive their kids around to consider using a cargo bike. In particular I want to highlight in this blog how we made the choice, and the ups and downs of using a cargo bike.
