It is all about the bike...

Almost to the end of week 2 of "safer at home" in LA County. One pleasant surprise of home schooling has been our daily PE class. The streets are generally wide open and I have been letting the girls ride their bikes on the street (with me running either in front or behind them at all times of course). We live on a fairly busy corner (and a big hill) so it not something they ever done before. In fact, the only non drive way bike riding they have done has been on vacation - Black Butte, Oregon and Denver Colorado. It definitely reminds me a lot of growing up in Brea and riding bikes through the greenbelt and streets with my childhood friends. Being comfortable biking the neighborhood is definitely a skill I didn't think the girls would learn living on our busy corner. We have biked 6 out of the last 7 days (almost 15 miles in total) and the girls (and Dad) have enjoyed every minute of it...Bike on everyone and enjoy the open streets...Mike, the PE Teacher

  1. Even though this is not the ideal situation, there have been some positives regarding shelter at home. I heard that pollution is way down. It's great that the girls are coping well. We're glad that you are able to run, too!
