Saddlebags are backpacks for bicycles. The idea of these meetings is:
- Arrive on a bike
- Discuss the route to be ridden
- Place the map, paper and writing utensils in your saddlebag
- Ride the route, stop and record when needed
- Regroup at a designated location to discuss findings
If a person does not want to ride, they are welcome to come for the discussions and either wait for the bike riders to return or walk part of the route.
