Zero emission freight can only be achieved in cities by switching diesel to electric vans and also e-cargo bikes, which could replace up to 9% of van kilometres driven in central London by 2025 and up to 17% of van kilometres by 2030. Great to spot @firstmile playing their part!
Genuinely think the best measure of GDP & productivity in 2024 for a city is the number of cargo bikes to residents ratio.
Birmingham utterly fails on this statistic btw.
Thanks everyone who came to Cargos & Cakes on Friday.
And thanks @LiveableWells for helping organise it.
It was an absolute joy. Cakes were consumed, cargo bikes discussed. Complete unanimity that the #schoolrun needs to be solved.

Delighted to see our work covered by @MomentumMag! Cargo bikes are faster, cheaper, healthier, greener, and - crucially - they don't pollute the air! ๐ฒ
We're so proud to support @CargoRevolution. Want to know how to start a cargo revolution? Read on...

Have a cargo bike? Come and get a @fettlebike mechanic to give it once over, at the same time as giving other local parents the benefit of your riding expertise.

Help to spread the word that cargo bikes are perfect for longer school runs!

*Stolen bike*
We are currently hunting *Nemo* which was last seen in W3 at 0400 this morning - we have a track record of nearly 100% recovery of stolen bikes so keen not to let that slip!
Please keep your eyes peeled for us!

Oxford Street has been a beloved retail destination for Londoners & tourists for generations. But itโs suffered hugely in recent years & needs a new lease of life.
With the govtโs support, our plans to pedestrianise & revitalise Oxford Street will return it to its former glory.

Take our quick survey to tell us your views about the Council installing more bike storage aka cargo bike hangars across the borough โ we want your feedback ๐
With the first cycle hangar now at full capacity, we're eager to hear your views.
First introduced in 2023, the hangers have been a success. They have provided secure storage for cargo and non-standard bikes, and utilised space efficiently.
Find out more and have your say. Hurry, closing date 18 September ๐

The cargo bike movement here in London (and beyond!) really is one big family, just out for a ride with all our mates! To see how it's grown year to year has been such a privilege, with so many on the bikes or behind the scenes making this growth possible โค๏ธ
โก๏ธ๐ฒ LOVED helping run the @TeamLondonBdg cargo bike cruise today, the clean green fast urban freight of the future. 80+ riders + several MPs...
Catch us on @itvlondon this evening as the joyful counterpart to other (grim) stuff in London
@London_Cycling@itvlondon@FDbikes@FullyChargedUK@TeamLondonBdg Thrilled the cargo bike revolution is alive and well, especially after I advocated for their inclusion in the GLA Economy Committee's report on Winning the Race to Net Zero last year!
Letโs make sure more businesses make this transition
