Better by Bike

March 30, 2011

By Laura Sarton

 

I have always loved cycling and rode a bike from the age of five. I love the fact you can travel with leisure or pedal like a maniac to get to places with gusto if necessary. It is without doubt amazing exercise and I love that it is free and ‘green’. I just couldn’t promote it enough.

My dad is a keen cyclist and has always given encouragement when I have been looking for bikes to transport my children. With one child, a front seat then a rear seat was practical. With two children, there are the complicated elements of balance, weight and enjoyment!

Issue 23 Editorial

Inspired by our differences by Juno Editor, Saffia Farr

JUNO’s focus is “a natural approach to family life”, but within that, there is scope for differences. What does ‘natural‘ mean to you as an individual? In their first editorial in 2003, Patricia and Emma wrote: “We firmly believe that we all have our own path to follow and there must be room for difference”.

I want JUNO to be a forum where people are accepting of different choices. There is no way that all JUNO readers will ever agree on all aspects of life and parenting. There is no absolute right way to live. There is no parenting formula that will [Read more...]
