All of our family members above the age of 3 signed up for 30 Days of Biking this year. That is me, Theo, and Hillary who have taken the pledge along with 3000+ other folks all over the world. The 30 Days of Biking pledge is simple: "Ride somewhere every day for 30 days, then share your adventures online".
We are lucky enough to be spending the first week with Hil's family during spring break on Sanibel Island, Florida. (Check out it's excellent 22 mile bicycle trail network (and incredible amount of green space/conservation areas) here.) We were having so much fun on the beach and such that we didn't rally to line-up rental bikes for Theo until yesterday (Day 2 of 30 Days of Biking) and then managed to miss our daily ride yet again. But finally we all made it out this evening, with the addition of T's cousins. With all rented/borrowed bikes, it was more of a test ride to adjust everybody's bikes. Here are some pics from our first 30 Days of Biking 2012 ride. For us make it 28 days of biking. Oh, well.
Finally, a fine excerpt from the 30 Days of Biking story.
"...We want you to remember how riding around your neighborhood felt when you were a kid, when a bike was your only transportation and you loved it. We want you to remember the freedom bicycling offers. The happiness, the independence. These things aren't lost to the ages or the past. They're still available, as nearby as your saddle. And, ultimately, they lead to a healthier life."
