We recently bought an "e-bakfiets" and have been getting good use out of it. With fall weather it came time to assemble the Clarijs canopy we bought as an add-on. Clarijs is another Dutch company that makes various bike products. I decided to document the process since it's a bit involved in the current instructions leave something to be desired. I got some help from this article by Bicycle Belle out of Boston.

Our other car is an e-bakfiets

Two favorite topics of mine: fruit and bikes. Not Far From the Tree is a Toronto organization that goes to homes and other locations to pick fruit. The fruit is then divided into thirds among the tree owners, volunteers and local food banks. All of the fruit is transported by bike trailers and cargo bikes.
