X: Why so many internet delivery vans charging about?
Me: Because councils have not made it easy or safe for delivery bikes - we need to see local distribution hubs in transport plans and low traffic neighbourhoods.
X: Delivery by bike?
Me: Yes. In urban areas most deliveries can be done faster and more efficiently by cargo bike. Needs since local infrastructure and a plan.
X: Why faster?
Me: Bikes can generally get closer to a house door so each delivery is completed faster. Lots of evidence for this from studies in both the UK & 🇪🇺. The last mile(s) of the delivery chain & the first mile of the shopping chain should & can happen by 🚲
