When you first visit Copenhagen, the first thing you'll notice after being mesmerized by the sheer number of cyclists on the roads is the eclectic kinds of bikes, especially ones that carry groceries, baggage, furniture or other people & children. As Copenhagenize's Mikael Colville-Andersen happily points out: for many in his city, the cargo bike is equivalent to the SUV.
Thus, for this final chapter in Streetfilms' 2010 Copenhagen Triology (check here: for previous vids on bicycling & pedestrian space) we present this quirky look at some of the types of wonderful bikes that are used by the public. We randomly spoke to folks gallavanting about town on their vehicles, attended the 2010 Danish Cargo Bike Championships, and got to speak with Hans Fogh, owner of Larry vs.Harry, a cargo bike-making specialty shop. The result here is really just a melody of vignettes, which only ever so slightly touches on the vast cargo bike phenomenon.
But most impressive comes just over one minute in, where you will witness one of the more amazing bike feats we've ever seen on film: a father transporting four children, a bike, a half dozen bags, on what can only be described as a cargo bike plus. It still makes us tired just watching it.
People riding bicycles all have smiles on their faces. Healthy exercise and stress relief.
Bicycles make life and cities better.
Every city transportation planner around the world needs to see this.
A great example of what can be done. Clean air, healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation.
Yes, cargobikes are the way to go. Wit E-assist heavy load can be transported without toxic exhaust fames. Cargobikes can take heavier loads then bike trailers. A biketrailer can haul up to 45 kg/ 100 lbs, a cargobike can haul up to 200 kg/ 440 lbs.
Cargobikes are expensive. However, second had cargobikes are affordable. In Utrecht, the Netherlands, you can lend (not rent) a cargobike from the municipality, to haul your large waste to the recycling station.
01:24 with this large old school cargobike a Green Left Partymember moved his entire household in 1 day, in order to prove that you do not need a truck.
as usual thanks for making me want to move there or amsterdam keep safe
Cargo bikes need to be used for last mile deliveries in all cities.
Cities need to make it easy for adult and children to ride bicycles by providing more protected bike lanes.
last time I was in Amsterdam I saw a Family of 6 on just two Bikes (the kids are from Baby age til around 6 years). Beautiful
1:24 The brand name of this cargo bicycle is "Nijland".
Very heavy, extremely sturdy … like a tank, and hellish expensive. See, among others:
www.nijland.com/producten/klassieke-bakfiets-l/
The design from this specific bakfiets (Dutch for cargo bicycle) is a about 100 years old.
I furthermore recognized Nihoila, a(very stable 3-wheel cargo bicycle and Bullit (the latter also know as "Larry vs Harry") a very sturdy and fast 2-wheel cargo bicycle.
I saw many other brands, but I did not recognize them for sure.
I did not see the 2-wheel cargo bicycle I own myself. Which is a "Workcycles" bicycle.

But why dont you say how mutch mooney cost one bike....?! 3000 -4000 euros ....!!!!! 5000 euros !
THis was 10 years ago. I am sure someone can chime in with possible costs!
This varies a lot depending on the brand and model of cargo bike, with or without e-assist...
Middle-class status symbols, too expensive for most people, these need to be made and sold for less to make a difference, 40% car ownership is nothing to brag about in a small European city.
The vikings would be dissapointed

It sounds like you are looking for an excuse to maintain status quo. You're one of the "Yeah, But....." crowd, as I call them. Do some research. Figure some way out. Second-hand, perhaps? Cargo-bike sharing. Whatever.
