8 miles, so a 16 mile roundtrip. In theory a cargo bike/tandem might work but:
I have done this during holidays, t takes me 45 mins to get to the school and an hour and a half to get back. So that's 2 hours 15 minutes. [the road is not flat everywhere and some areas are on the road, cos The Netherlands this ain't...]
The car it takes 1h15 minutes and unfortunately, I have work to log back into.
Agree on the waterproofs, and I have no problems cycling to work but going out for fun on the weekend when it's pissing down just ain't gonna happen. I dug the kettlebells back out, no excuse there :)

How far is the school? Get the kids cycling to school to free up your time (or maybe cycle with them). Or use a cargo bike to drop them off. As for rain... that's what waterproofs and mudguards are for.
