Sounds like a lot of people here have some experience with this. Where I’m at it’s all towns of less than 2000 usually spaced 5-10 miles apart over a state highway. I could bike on it, at least in the summer. Might be worth a look, or just getting a decent analog bike since it can’t really be my daily transport moving a kid and all. Been meaning to get one of those anyhow, last one I had was a shoddy thing not up to hauling someone my size.
One option to look into, especially for transporting small children, is a “bakfiets”. It’s a type of cargo bike with a large bucket in the front that can be used to haul kids and groceries. And you can find them now as ebikes to make it easier to haul more stuff. They’re super common in the Netherlands for their high carrying capacity. You’ll even see people moving furniture around with them!
