Join Morgan Scherer, Executive Director of Familybike Seattle, and Madi Carlson, renowned author of Urban Cycling for an engaging talk on the magic of cargo and family biking! Hear real-life stories of what it takes to “go by bike” without giving up the perks of having a car…spontaneously picking up free furniture at the side of the road, “car”pooling with the kids, heading out for vacation, and more! These two cargo and family biking mavens will lead you through the joys and humorous travails of getting around Seattle by bike, with kids and stuff (lots of stuff!).

Ms. Scherer has been creatively biking her family around Seattle since 2000. She started with a recumbent bike and trailer, added an electric assist motor, and moved through a variety of contraptions from there; including a tandem with a trailer-bike, and numerous others. . With all that experience, equipment, and a desire to change the world by bike, Ms. Scherer started Familybike Seattle with the first Family Bike Expo in 2007. Familybike Seattle has grown each year, and now includes a sliding scale rental fleet, workshops, Kidical Mass, and advocacy.

Madi Carlson has been family biking since the moment her older child turned one, in 2008. A passionate family biking advocate, Madi loves leading group rides like Kidical Mass, a fun monthly family bike ride and shares family biking information and stories through her Family Ride blog. She is also the author of “Urban Cycling: How to Get to Work, Save Money, and Use Your Bike for City Living” (Mountaineers Books), an easy-to-navigate manual for bike commuting–including commuting with kids.
