>From the "been there, done that" vantage point, there's good reasons why the most active cycle tourists & adventurers are either college students on break, single young adults or retirees. When my kids were small, my obligations were large. Plenty of bike tires rotted away before they wore out. That's just life when you're juggling family, career and health. I managed to squeeze bike rides into my weekends by working them into getting to a kid's event or something like an early morning, short ride. I tried (not always succeeded) to do a tour a year but was usually a week long event, nothing epic. You'll have to figure out where you can squeeze biking into the margins. It won't be a central point for a while An S24O once in a while can be a real boost. Key is developing a network of cycling friends as that gives motivation to follow thru when someone suggests an idea, but to keep all the plates spinning, you have keep the good family person and good employee thing going and not worry about your dudeness. I was lucky enough to have good cycling friends who were at the same point in life so we were all dealing with the same issues.
