How cargo bikes should become suitable for the masses

Berlin In Berlin they are already part of the cityscape: cargo bikes. In the inner city districts in particular, they have built up a following that they see as a replacement for cars.

However, the majority of people still view the means of transport with considerable skepticism – and see it as the embodiment of a traffic turnaround that not only has friends. Accordingly, they are sometimes discussed emotionally.

Not so at the Eurobike bicycle fair, which took place in Frankfurt in the past few days. Here the use of cargo bikes, as they are also called, was considered objectively.

For example, using an example from Bulgaria. The six cargo bikes that were used in the center of the port city of Varna were probably the first of their kind in the country. But they are used a lot by local companies, and a micro-hub for loading is to be built soon, reported a representative of the City Changer Cargo Bike Project (CCCB) from Varna.
