The Return of Cargobikes to the Streets of Paris

If normal #bicycles are the sweet-sounding string instruments in the orchestra heralding the return of #bicyclefriendly #cities , then the #cargobike is the booming percussion. In so many cities, especially in Europe, the cargo bike is returning in force to the streets. Private cargo bikes for families, small goods delivery and as an integral piece of the #logistics puzzle for last-mile delivery. Paris, however, is taking things to the next level with an exponential rise in the number of cargobikes, cargo trailers, #triporteur, #biporteur - you name it. Stuff is moving around the city on bicycle wheels 24/7 and it is extraordinary. 51% of goods moved in a city can be moved by bike or cargobike. That's a lot of trucks and vans that can be replaced: http://www.copenhagenize.com/2013/10/...
