We have taken our bikes every time except twice, and we regretted not taking them those two times. In addition to being basic transportation around FW, I enjoy an early morning (ie 6am) bike ride around FW and over to WL. Very quiet then, and a lot of wildlife out to be seen. I put on the coffee, let DW sleep in, take my bike ride and by the time I get back to the camper, DW is up and around, coffee is ready, dog us up and ready for his walk - life is good.
