My kid-carrying commuter, together we do 40 miles each week plus perhaps a bit at the weekend.
Still trying to work out what to do with child #2, right now if I want to take both boys out then we need myself and the wife on her bike to transport them both, and carrying things like their own bikes along etc is a problem.
We have been considering something like an Ute or similar long bike. I think the main thing stopping us is the fact it's tricky to find something both the wife and I can ride, as she's rather short and I'm rather tall.
My Workcycles bakfiets fits both me (6'5") and OH (5'7") fine; it's got a QR seatpost clamp so can adjust in seconds. I think the main trick to fitting folks of different heights is using an upright position, so the reach doesn't change much between the two.
