Biking. The Best Free Family Summer Activity.

Sometimes I sit in utter bewilderment and amazement at the dull throngs of families who sit all summer inside their houses, all staring their red and bleary eyes at the screens in front of them. When they do leave their castles of wood and drywall, it’s to fight the unruly crowds at the mall or to sit impatiently in line for a seat at the restaurant.

They call this life. How sad.

If you live somewhere like me, you’re sitting on a goldmine of family fun, memories, laughter, exploring, happiness, and outdoor wonder. It’s called a bike trail. Yeah … they exist.

Time to scrape the mold and blow the cobwebs off your bikes. Get to it, my friends.
