Happy hour is not defined by a glass of wine or a crowded bar. It’s an experience shared amongst friends at the end of a long day. For this reason, the inability to see loved ones during the pandemic has challenged everyone. Zoom happy hours can be fun but at the end of the day, you’re still alone (likely in sweatpants). Give your living room a break and fill the empty streets with laughter and workplace banter. By going back to the basics and putting an active spin on the evenings, you’ll remove the boundaries of your free time and chart a new direction. Move girls night outdoors and reconnect on a ride under the stars.

What happened to grass stains, foot races and unplanned adventures? The pastimes we used to plead for are still out there waiting to be enjoyed. Reassess what fun means to you without the structure of four walls and a ceiling. Maybe it's a socially distanced paint night in the backyard or a ride on your local trail? Either way, the current restraints are an invitation to get creative. The amount of activities that can spice up a Friday night are endless. You can increase the range of each hour by simply changing your perspective. Although, a motor and pedal assist can help.
