  Flashback to 12-year-old us: it’s June, school just let out for summer, no more homework, no more books, no more teachers’ dirty looks - as the song goes apparently. We had the next two and a half months to do literally whatever we wanted. And it was glorious. Most of our time was spent outside with very little planned, just going wherever our bikes could take us. It feels like a very different world now, and getting kids to enjoy the great outdoors can feel like a chore. We’ve been there, which is why we want to provide a fewtactics we used to get our little gremlins out in the sunshine.
