What to do with kids when playgrounds are closed?
I am so happy the girls are now at the age when they can easily ride their bikes and handle the distance. We recently got new bikes for the whole family from www.kent.bike, so an empty school parking lot and neighborhood trails have become our new playground.
I know it may be difficult and challenging finding the right bikes for the whole family. I've definitely done a lot of research. We decided to go with Kent bikes for all of us - I think Kent offers the best price/value combination. The bikes are affordable, but very sturdy and well built.
I am riding 26" Women's Kent V2100
It's very sturdy and comfortable, has a 21-speed drivetrain and strong suspension. My favorite feature is a padded saddle - we've gone on several long-distance rides and I felt very comfortable throughout the whole time.

It's perfect for his height - he is 5'11''. The bike also has 8-speed drivetrain and front and rear disk brakes.
The girls are riding 16" Girl's Kent Starshine
You can't go wrong with the Unicorn theme when you have girls. The bike is really cute and the girls love carrying their toys or water in the little pouch in the front.It's also pretty light and easy to maneuver. Our kids are 3.5 and almost 5 years old and they can easily ride on these bikes without training wheels.
If you are looking for a fun (and safe!) family activity - bike rides is, definitely, it. Take along some healthy snacks and water, and go explore. The bikes were provided to me by Kent, free of charge. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
