Before I began driving less, I had long had a melancholic sense that the city lifestyle I lived was cut off from the seasons and nature

Unless it's parents picking up their kids while they wait outside their cars... I find schools are awful to cycle past. Then once in their cars it's even worse.

In the UK all schools are within walking distance or they are required to provide free transport. You shouldn't ever have to drive them yourself on a regular basis unless you are training them to be lazy.
