Get fit fast
Nicola Davis, 33, Kinglake Mountain, VIC
"Before I fell pregnant, I was a recreational cyclist. I attempted the odd commute into work but that was it. However, after the baby was born my cycling-mad husband Paul decided to start up a bike store and cafe. I quit work to help him and without my city wage, our car became a luxury. We used bikes instead.
"I was amazed how easy it was. I'd put my baby in a front-mounted baby seat to drop her at creche and would cycle up to 15 kilometres to do chores without even thinking about it.
It was definitely a fantastic post-pregnancy workout.
"Now that I have a second daughter, I pull them both along in a Chariot CX2 bike trailer. It has a big storage compartment for shopping and great water protection so if it rains, it's only me who gets damp! As I can unhook it and use it as a pram, it's very convenient when we go to the shopping mall. People are always interested in it so it's been a great conversation starter.
"I've even convinced my mum to ride a bike and she's getting more confident by the day. In fact our next family holiday is to cycle the rail trail from Beechworth to Bright and she's coming along."
