Being Together
Nothing beats riding with your friends and family. It's great to just enjoy the ride or chat about life or the condition of the road or impending weather. But if the wind is blowing or the traffic is real bad, it can be hard to hear your companions. If everyone is an experienced rider, you can bunch right up and that's fun too, but with inexperienced riders or kids, it's a little dicey.
A couple weeks ago Becca and I were out for a ride and we passed a family on a quad. Way cool! Of course these bikes are not a causal investment - aside from the cost, just moving the bike can be a challenge. They don't fit on "normal" car top bike carriers, and they are pretty long - you'll have to have a serious van to move it.
That said, I can image for some families this is real boon. The family we passed sure seemed to be having a good time. But you know, just being out and about is a good time too...whatever it is get out there and do it.
