Whenever someone mentions "suburban family", my mind still conjures an image of a mother driving a station wagon full of kids.
At least, that was the sort of suburban family I saw--and my Brooklyn family became--when we moved to New Jersey right about the time I was hitting puberty (my first).
These days, it seems that suburban families don't have as many kids. (Actually, that's the case for families in most places in the US.) Paradoxically, as family size has shrunk, motor vehicles have gotten larger: Families that used to shuttle between school, the mall, kids' practices and home in station wagons are now getting around in SUVs.
Well, maybe not all of them.
You can see more families like them on the Madsen Bike blog.
I'm told those kids eat healthy snacks:
Note: This is not an endorsement of Madsen bikes, as I know almost nothing about them. I like the idea behind them, though!
