Detailed description (English): The bicycle is increasingly being seen as a potential solution to the problems od air polution and congestion. Every second motorised trip, associated with the transport of goods, could be shifted from cars or vans to bicycles, cargo bikes or cargo trikes. In addition cargo bikes are ideal for use by delivery companies, tradesmen (plumbers, electricians, window cleaners) and municipal services like street cleaning, park maintenance and waste collection.
This workshop is aimed at elected city officials, municipality officers and businesses to demonstrate the potential of bicycles by highlighting how other European towns and cities have encouraged cycle logistics solutions.

• CycleLogistics is nothing new!

• The rebirth of cycleLogistics as a solution to making more liveable cities
