As it has a seat at the back and a basket at the front. I can take my small daughter to school, to the library, shopping. anywhere in fact.
I use it most in summer when the weather is warm and dry. It can be very unpleasant¹ in winter when it is cold and the rain is pouring² down. It can also be very dangerous.

On my bicycle I get a lot of exercise and fresh air, and this makes me feel a lot younger.
