I’m biiiking in the rain, just biking in the rainnnn​​!
Bonus points for being out in the rain on a trip without getting wet. If not rolling or walking with an umbrella or rain jacket, biking with a couple of fenders can be a real luxury!

Comment or post something below about what you might have noticed on a recent walk, bike, or roll in town that you've never noticed before! It can be something unexpectedly nice, something not so nice, or just some insights and observations from your trip

Track your progress here: https://bit.ly/3tVPWgq Remember, it's not about how far you travel. It's about getting in the mindset of considering a walk/bike/roll and asking yourself, "Can I do this, instead of that?" or "Do I really need the vehicle for this?" Every little bit counts!

You can't expect to be a world-beater, a race runner, or help solve the climate crisis all in an instant, but every little step towards making a difference counts.

Whether you're a kid, teen, or adult, ALL AGES walking/rolling/biking in place of using a vehicle can be done!!

Let the breeze blow through your long flowing hair as you walk, bike, roll your way to town. A dry towel and some good deodorant can go a long ways in making your trip more comfortable. But sweating can be avoided altogether by choosing light coloured clothes, and a low-stress, low traffic route to your destination, should those options be available! https://cyclingfallacies.com/en/21/cycling-makes-you-sweaty
