Programme
International Cargo Bike Meetup | Fri 24 April, 1400 CEST
Due to Coronavirus, we decided back in March to postpone the International Cargo Bike Conference and Festival. This Friday 24th April at 1400 CEST, to mark the date on which the Conference would have taken place in Nijmegen, we’re going online to host professionals from business, the public-sector and non-profits at what we’re calling the International Cargo Bike Meetup.
We’ve put together a fascinating short online programme with contributions from Professor Heleen de Coninck and from Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, plus details on the launch of a new Dutch cargo bike brand and our plans for the ICBF this year.
For those with an interest in the influence that logistics, cargo bikes and light electric freight vehicles are all having on our urban spaces, would not want to miss out – so tune in and we’ll see you there!
Join us! We’ll post the link to the Livestream HERE on Friday morning.
Theme: Riding into the Decade of the Cargo Bike…
Cargo bikes are a key component in helping to achieve the goals of reducing the impact of city logistics and making our city centres safer, cleaner and more liveable. If this is the decade in which cargo bikes will reach mainstream status, what are the obstacles that stand in our way, and what opportunities does this present?
