"The firm's eco-friendly vehicles are taking to city streets as a new hub opens in Baillieston as part of a £300million investment to alleviate traffic and improve air quality.
The move comes after Glasgow launched LEZ zones in the city in June of this year."
Partnership between
Isicargo, supplier of a large range of cargobikes and
BagPro, French designer of luggage, which has been offering box options for #cargobikes
Together they will run a Mobility Hub in Berlin, essentially a large showroom in North East Berlin:
Lehderstraße 74 13086 Berlin

Bavarian cargobike hire project in evaluation phase
In September 2020, the state of Bavaria launched LastenRadBayern, an initiative to provide cargobike hire in seven towns.
The selection of the model municipalities was made in a jury meeting together with representatives of AGFK Bayern (Working Group on Bicycle-Friendly Municipalities e.V.) and ADFC Bayern (General German Bicycle Club e.V.) from a total of 99 applications.
With the project call by the Bavarian State Ministry for Housing, Construction and Transport, the Bavarian communities were informed about the model project and asked to apply.

New York City’s Department of Transportation has proposed to authorize the use of wider #cargobikes in the city, 1.20m, as in Europe. (current limit 91cm).
Some figures for 2022:
cargo bikes made more than 130,000 trips delivering over 5 million packages, resulting in the reduction of over 650,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions
#cargobikes added to the Mobi-Bike hire service in Dresden
2€/half hour; however the first half hour is free with a local transport month pass or with a Deutschlandticket.
The cargobikes can be rented from ten of the 60+ Mobi-Bike stations and must be returned where they are picked up.
In Central Enschede, the Council is shifting back to home collections of rubbish (away from large interred bins).
The collectors use #cargobikes and the face to face interactions induce people to be more careful with the differentiation of rubbish.
Evri introduces 15 new bikes at its Wimbledon depot, following deployment in Bristol, Edinburgh, and Manchester.
Evri has partnered with Zoomo, taking advantage of the electric bike specialist’s new vehicle-as-a-service offering.
