Fall is near, which hopefully means cooler temperatures, so that we can enjoy outdoor activities in Katy, TX. With school back in session, the weekends become fun playtimes for Katy families.

Everyone needs to unwind from a week of work, homework, schedules, and early bed times. The weekend welcomes fun, play, and a more relaxed schedule.

If you are looking for something that your family can do together, consider a family bike ride.

Tips Before You Go:

• Needing a new bike for your child or yourself?
  
• Bike Safety for kids
  
• Do's and Don't's of Family Biking

There are several spots around the Katy/Houston area that provide trails perfect for families out for a ride.

Our family recently discovered the George Bush Hike and Bike Trails and, needless to say, our kids are in love. The long, tree-covered boardwalk is a family favorite. The 11.36 mile, asphalt trail is available from dawn until dusk. The trail runs from Highland Knolls at Fry Road through George Bush Park to Highway 6 then connects to Terry Hershey Park.
