The “Cargo Bike Adoption for Businesses” webinar is a European Cyclists’ Federation (ECF) organized online event, as part of the City Changer Cargo Bike project, showcasing the business use-case for cargo bikes. Cargo bikes could substitute over half of logistics and quarter of commercial deliveries in European cities. For example, in Central London, last-mile logistics are characterized by short driving distances with predominantly stationary vehicles that spend more time parking than driving. Cargo bikes, on the other hand are not limited by factors such as low emission zones, parking spaces or traffic, constituting major advantages for increased business efficiency whilst contributing to more liveable and less polluted city centres.
The one-off “Cargo Bike Adoption for Businesses” event will take place over the course of three separate sessions in which cargo bikes for business uses will be explored from all perspectives. The three sessions will provide insight into successful case studies from within the CCCB project and feature guest speakers from a variety of leading cargo bike service providers and sustainable transport consultancies. We will hear how public authorities can support the transition to cargo bikes and reduce motorized traffic in city centres, how individual business owners stand to benefit from choosing a bike over a van and the myriad services that are increasingly available as alternatives to traditional last-mile delivery.
