You could also use the opportunity to ride your bike to go visit family by bike. We have seen car processions visiting family so why not make it a bicycle procession. Go see your parents or your grandparents. Take the kids to see their grandparents. A ride by can be far more intimate than a drive by and more fun too! Not sure how to get there by bike? Check out our new recommended bike routes and route planning mentorship program. June 12th – Bike to Strike Day Heading to the Fridays for Future climate strike? Why not ride your bike for the climate as well.
