Bike riding is the perfect activity to bring the family together.
You can tell summer is coming to an end and the start of the new 2018 school year has commenced.
I live in Fort Collins, Colorado. It is the hometown of Colorado State University (CSU), my alma mater. Trails connect throughout the town and surrounding area.
If you are an outdoor enthusiast, Colorado is a dream. People come from all over to experience the beauty and might Colorado have to offer.
My Family Experience
I am an active person, and I try my best to teach my family to be the same.
Each day, I lift weights and try to follow a healthy diet. My family sees me lifting weights at my in-home gym, but my now 4-year-old son cannot participate with me. I show him exercises, but he is too young to lift any substantial weight.
Getting outside, going for a walk or hike is a great way to enjoy some exercise together as a family. It is great for some family time.
The Bike Riding Experience
Recently, I purchased some bikes for my family.
I used to bike ride when I was younger, but it has been years. I have to tell you; it is a fun and exhilarating experience.
There is nothing better than spending time together as a family. Finding something that all family members can enjoy together compounds the fun.
Fort Collins is extremely busy throughout the year with all the students attending Colorado State University. The city has an efficient public transportation system. There is also a web of interconnected bike paths throughout Fort Collins. Not to mention, the roads are bike-friendly.
Biking is a great use of transportation and contributes greenly to the environment.
You get a chance to be outside and exercise. I get a chance to teach my kids the importance of an active lifestyle.
Last Thoughts
Physical activity is lacking in today’s society. The obesity rate is at an all-time high.
Anything you can do to teach your family how to be active is a plus. Activity fights the obesity epidemic.
Bike riding is the perfect activity to bring the family together. If you have not tried it, I suggest you do so.
Right now, there are so many sales going on because everyone going back to school. I found it is the perfect time to purchase a new or used bike.
Bike riding is a great exercise, helps the environment, and is a fun family activity.
