30 Days of Biking – Week 4 Recap and Final Thoughts
30 Days of Biking Recap: Week 1 – Week 2 – Week 3
How is #30DaysOfBiking month over already?!
During this final week, using my bike for transportation became so second nature that I plumb forgot to take pictures, ha!
Here are my highlights from this fourth week of #30DaysOfBiking from my remote office location in North Florida:
– Biking through the national forest to participate in the City Nature Challenge where I spotted numerous endangered plant and animal species
– Opting for the bike to run errands and spotting a pair of red tail hawks.
– Celebrating the end of 30 Days of Biking with a family picnic and group ride with the local bicycle advocacy group, Joyride Bicycle Collective
Final take-away: I am so glad my family and I took this challenge! I hadn’t realized how much my transportation needs had shifted to relying on my car. 30DaysOfBiking was just the refresher I needed to get back into my groove of using my bike as my main transportation tool! I saw so many amazing sights that I otherwise would have missed out on, I got to enjoy the emotional boost of being out in nature more and I got to have fun while doing something that otherwise would have been humdrum. I can’t wait to roll into May for another month full of bike rides!
