What is this "4th of July" thing you are talking about?
And what does it have to do with "independence"?

Mostly i try to ignore it.
Seeing the fireworks, without a car is pretty much impossible.
Ride your bicycle in the dark? With tons of cars driving around?

And this year, there will be lots of bears roaming around looking to pester people about wearing face coverings and not getting to close to anyone... people on bicycles will probably stand out even more.

It will probably be put into the category of things i no longer do
such as fly commercial airlines.
