Hello

Today, the cargo bike is definitely making a comeback, and in Denmark, for example,
sales continue to increase and the demand is rising in some other countries too. The
cargo bike has the potential to redefine the way we move goods, freight, luggage,
shopping and other personal items around our cities and towns.
The purpose of this document is to offer of an overview of the current uses for the
bicycle in terms of moving freight around. It will also look at an analysis of potential
user groups, some of the requirements necessary for transporting goods by bicycle,
and the legal framework surrounding bicycles in Europe. Finally, there is a look back
at the history of the cargo bike and some of the developments that have been made in
the last 100 or so years.
2. Using Bikes for Freight in the 21st Century
Current Uses - Delivering Goods, Services, Daily Life
Bicycles are certainly being used for freight in developed countries in the 21st century.
In Europe, amongst the project partner countries, not surprisingly, the Netherlands
and Denmark are by far the biggest users of bikes for freight. However, it is
encouraging to see that using cycles to transport goods is also beginning to develop in
countries where a cycling culture is much less in evidence.
