Well, most people do not consider "mountain biking" to be anything done on a mountain bike. If I sit on a trainer in my living room on my mountain bike, I am not mountain biking.

Mountain biking was an example of a hobby that is very difficult to pursue unless you have child care arrangements, whether it is day care, a baby sitter, or only while a partner has free time on a weekend.

I don't even mountain bike. I'm very confused how you're reading so much into the example, and simultaneously not by saying riding your bike in the city is what I was getting at.

That link wasn't provided to argue that I could "mountain bike." It was provided to answer your question about whether I was actually raising children or not.

I provided that link as the lowest effort, least argumentative means to show that I have already answered that question in this very discussion. And it's sort of annoying that you are turning this into a big deal because you clearly assume I am supposed know that googlryas and oh_sigh are the same person without telling me that because you already stated it once elsewhere:

Posting on another account because I'm rate limited. Sorry dang.

Yes, actually, a 3 year old and a 1 year old.
