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)'.

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。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。Every two weeks, I go to my parents house.
