Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions the last year and a half, more Americans than ever before turned to the outdoors, some for the first time and others for the first time in many years. With pandemic restrictions beginning to change yet again due to the Delta variant, studies show people continue to prefer, and feel safer, participating in outdoor activities with family and friends. Wheel Fun Rentals at the Old Mill in Bend provides open-air, safe and fun outdoor recreation at a reasonable price. So, it’s easy to stay connected with others, while staying safe.
Wheel Fun Rentals continues to see higher-than-average numbers of people recreating outdoors. “Being outdoors is a safe way to spend time with friends,” said Dean Stewart, a customer who rented a Surrey bike. According to the CDC, “You are less likely to be exposed to COVID-19 during outdoor activities, even without the use of masks.” [1]
“The pandemic’s impact has inspired many to reevaluate priorities, seeing possible life changes and reducing screen time. These healthy lifestyle changes have continued to remain important for the base majority of the population even as restrictions ease or change,” said Mike Ullerick Operations Director for Wheel Fun Rentals. According to an Outdoor Industry Association report, new outdoor participants continue to flock to outdoor programs and activities that engage families, that make life more social and that are easily accessible and close to home.
