Local Government Association report urges business “trade vans for cargo bikes” – Cycling Industry News
Mark Sutton28 August, 2020England and Wales’ Local Government Association has published a new report calling on couriers and small business to trade in vans for environmentally friendly cargo bikes specifically for “last mile” deliveries.Coming at a time when the cargo bike segment is racking up column inches due to trend changes for inner city logistics, the new report emphasises that commercial vehicle traffic is already back north of pre-pandemic levels and only likely to increase. This was illustrated earlier this week in a CI.N assessment of the traffic patterns, where vans and HGVs were indeed accelerating road use north of pre-covid trends.
