This is Karen Feeding. We're three friends with kids who get together every week to talk

life, swap advice, and keep each other sane while we muddle through this weird and wonderful

thing called parenting. I'm Zach Rosen. I make another podcast. It's called Weirdly Helpful. And I am Dad to Noah, who's eight, and Ami, who's five. We live in Detroit. Hey, I'm Lucy Lopez. I am Mother to Amelia who's 15, Avery who's 13, and we live in Miami, Florida. I'm Elizabeth Newkamp. I write the homeschool and family travel blog, Dutch Dutch, Goose. I'm the mom to Henry Henry who's 14, Oliver who's 12, and Teddy who's 9. We live in Honolulu, Hawaii. We're here to talk

about the ups, the downs, and everything in between when it comes to parenting. Every week,

we commiserate. We check in with listeners and we try to make this feel like the kind of conversation you have with your friends.

And today we have a listener question bonanza. That's right. We're doing an all listener question episode that'll cover everything from teaching your kid to ride a bike to a dog at its wit's end to find a community after a move.

There wasn't room for a bike. Learning to ride on the sidewalk or in the bike lane was out of the question.

We could have gone to the park or signed up for one of those classes, but it seemed like it was more hassle than it was worth. Not to mention the danger. I have a few friends who commute on their

bikes and they were constantly talking about rude drivers or someone who got doored. Doesn't

and the kids around her bike. The city
