QuestionHow can I get outside on my bike if my family think I’m weird for getting exercise, and I get easily distracted with my phone?Community AnswerThere's nothing "weird" about getting some exercise on your bike during summer vacation. If they tease you, just ignore them. Give yourself a scheduled time every day to ride your bike, like first thing in the morning or right after dinner. If you've got it scheduled, you'll be more likely to stick to it rather than spending all your time on your phone.
