<p>Needless to say, because of the weather (?) the meetup was canceled on account of the underlying event cancellation. For more details, check out Move Redmond’s page <a href="https://moveredmond.org/stationaccessmaps/">here</a>.</p>

<p><em>Past post below…</em></p>

<p>Coming up on the 13th and 14th of January, in this grand upcoming year of 2024, Move Redmond is organizing an event around <em>station access mapping</em> that to me, seems like bakfiets riders really need to be involved in! For more details from the Move Redmond emailer, check out <a href="https://mailchi.mp/1190a9fe8ec3/2023-move-redmond-wrapped?e=54ea8f5bb7">this link</a>.</p>

<p>I signed up for Saturday and Sunday, and wanted to open up the invite and maybe we could even make it a “Bakfiets Rider Gathering” and discuss the station access mapping and future meetups for riders. The specific times and locations I signed up for are…</p>

<p>Sat 1/13 10:00-12:00 @ South Bellevue, then Sunday 1/14 10:00-12:00 @ Overlake Village. I look forward to seeing others there, cheers!</p>]]></content><author><name>Adron</name></author><category term="Meetup" /><category term="News &amp; Updates" /><category term="bakfiets" /><category term="moveredmond" /><category term="station access mapping" /><summary type="html"><![CDATA[Move Redmond is organizing a station access mapping event on the 13th and 14th of January 2024.

    <p>First thing first, since it is Dutch, the word bakfiet just means “Cargo Bike”. This is a range of bikes, but more on that later, suffice to say it’s a bike that carries significantly more than merely a rider!</p>

    <p>Fam is short for “Family”, in this case our chosen family of <em>cargo carrying crew</em>! Sometimes we expand our family and friends to new and like minded souls, that’s what this site and future meets are all about. Sharing knowledge, ideas, experiences, and the joy of cargo bikes and the freedom that comes along with them!</p>
