[bogle]

Married with 3 kids. I think the multiple errors in your assumption is due to poor thinking on at least two counts.

I live in the city, as my question may have suggested, and my family can cycle and walk and take the tram and bus and train everywhere we need to go in the city.

Also, we do have a vehicle, it's a campervan. We don't need it to do the shopping because we're walking distance to some small stores and get deliveries of groceries and fresh, organic vegetables (yum).

The reference to the safety of scooters may require you to provide some evidence. The children are required by myself to wear a helmet and their health is better.
