As a tradesperson in London, a bike allows you to avoid many of the common challenges including: Parking fees, traffic, and the congestion charge.

Before engaging local business on cargo bikes, it's really important to understand the existing cargo bike market:
High priority: bakers, florists, optometrists, law firms.
Low priority: Auto repair, fast food, hair dressers.
"It really does show that London is changing": Since 2019 @TeamLondonBdg saw the daily number of #cargobikes passing through a key intersection jump from just 26 to 574!
The Hospital e-cargo bike trial was very influential. It showed businesses that if blood could be transported by cargo bike between hospitals, so too could documents and other goods. Lessons from @jackskillen at @TeamLondonBdg
Lesson from @CambsCC : When gov'ts are procuring #cargobikes it is valuable to have a strong partnership with local retailers to advise on purchasing and provide continual maintenance.
