About たびに
度に is the adverbial form of the noun 度, meaning 'time' (as in 'at the time of'). たびに is frequently paired with either verbs, or nouns, in order to show that something happens 'whenever (A)', or 'each time (A)'.
After nouns, the case marking particle の will be required before たびに.
Fun Fact
Like ごとに, たびに means 'every'. However, たびに is most often used to convey the nuance of するごとに 'every time doing'. Due to this, たびに will almost always be used to highlight some kind of action or event, rather than random amounts of time.
- 仕事を休むたびに、雨が降って予定が台無しになる。(Natural Japanese, as たびに follows an action)Every time I take a day off, it rains and messes up my plans.
-
2週間たびに、実家に帰る。(Unnatural Japanese, as たびに does not follow an action. 2週間経つたびに would work here)Every two weeks, I go to my parents house.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post resources, but 日本語の森 has a video on this grammar point. I noticed it wasn’t listed as a reading.
