Not at my house, it wouldn't be - that is, under two conditions. 1. Clean up from the meal is done. You can't use a ride to get away from that. 2. There are other bikes available so that others can ride too, or at least be offered the opportunity. In fact, I'm swapping out pedals on three of my bikes to make them ride friendly for Thanksgiving guests who won't have cycling shoes. My two sons will be bringing their bikes.
