Development of #urbanmobility vehicles moves fast.
We research companies innovating to increase choice in #activetravel, #inclusivemobility & #lastmile #logistics so you can find who makes the #bike, #ebike, #cargobike or #ecargobike that will be right for you.

"#walking & #cycling require less energy than any other means of transport &, over short distances, are the most effective way to reduce #fossilfuels consumption".

Great to see a @ZedifyUK @EAVcargo vehicle navigating the streets of Winchester.
The rider was pedalling too fast for me to take an action photo!

Car free days were held in Brussels and Paris last weekend, and use of our e-bikes and e-scooters jumped.

Dott's vehicles provided an efficient, effortless and environmentally friendly way to unlock the city without relying on a car.

Lots of coverage of this initiative to be trialled in 11 areas in England.
Good to see @cycleschemeltd promote the features of the Cycle to Work scheme for those without a #bike or #ebike.

‘Prioritisation of petrol vehicles continues to spike unnecessary #cycling fatalities’.

Glad that this important issue is starting to get more visibility.
#Safety concerns are one of the main factors that inhibit more people from #cycling.

[Will Norman @willnorman]

This study showing that larger vehicles are involved in pedestrian and cycling crashes with more severe injuries is based on US data. But the physics is the same everywhere - SUVs are far more dangerous to other road users than smaller cars.

Good news via @carltonreid.
"Compared to 2021, #cycling levels in England rose by 47% on weekdays & 27% on weekends in the 5 mths to end of July" (@transportgovuk stats).
Transport emits 27% of UK #CO2emissions so this is great for #CleanAir.

Good point from @ETAservicesltd.
With the average size of cars continuing to grow, including #ElectricCars, how big will be big enough - and for how long?
Would be better for the #environment to encourage greater use of #ebikes & #ecargobikes.

[ETA Services Ltd @ETAservicesltd]

Have the folk welcoming this considered that bigger car parking spaces mean fewer car parking spaces? 🤔

"Santander Cycles #ebikes will play an important role in helping to break down some of the barriers that stop people from getting on a #bike, including fitness, age & length of journey" says @SadiqKhan.
500 #ebikes will be available from next month.

Disappointing to see #dockless shared #ebikes being dumped inconsiderately, causing problems.
Good to see, in @ZagDaily article on Aug. 10th, that @limebike, @tier_mobility, @dott_uk & @humanforest_uk are committed to dealing with it.

Even having read the article by @NicholasHellen in @ZagDaily about #bike & #ebike theft, still find this thread from @faisalislam sad & shocking.....

Interesting (!) afternoon while filming, tracking my stolen bike which has an internal tracker & can’t be ridden without a code being ferried presumably in a van …from being swiped in London Bridge….To Stratford in half an hour and now finding a new resting place in East Ham…

'Try Before You #bike' looks like a great opportunity for more people to see if #cycling can become part of their daily routine.
Includes #ebikes, #cargobikes & #adaptivebikes.......
Hope lots take up the offer!

Fancy trying out a brand or nearly #new, fully equipped bike for a small monthly fee, with an induction & insurance as well?

Excellent graphic, courtesy of @ZedifyUK, that illustrates exactly why #ebikes & #ecargobikes need to be the future of #urbanlogistics.
Less #co2emissions, less traffic congestion, more #CleanAir.
