Title: What if we don't need a second car? Our journey to a car-lite lifestyle and the future of family transportation

After years of navigating Belgium’s world-class cycling culture, our family is moving to Des Moines with a mission to prove that "car-lite" living isn't just for European capitals. I’ll be sharing how e-bikes act as the bridge, allowing us to transplant an affordable, healthy lifestyle into the heart of a car-centric landscape by leveraging Iowa's growing bike infrastructure and the power of electric assistance.

Doors open at 6pm. As always, the first 15 attendees to arrive will receive a coupon for a complimentary drink! Be sure to RSVP today — cheers!
