  • Faster, cheaper, staggeringly cleaner
    A new study documents that Bullitt cargo bikes are twice as fast and ten times cheaper to operate than vans when delivering goods in cities. That’s very good for business. We hope these facts might help a little nudging the world in the right direction, where widespread adoption of cargo bikes can
    help decongest cities, improve air quality, and promote sustainable urban transport overall.

    Have been commuting by Bullitt as a contractor in Seattle for about 7 years. As traffic has gotten worse, my transit time has stayed the same. So many people have never even heard of cargo bikes here, but the inertia of a car-centric culture is real, and oil remains the #1 traded commodity in the world. All of the evidence doesn't outweigh the power of generations of people, duped into driving.

    My grandfather started his working life at fourteen years old in 1893. He worked for a delivery company. They received goods by train and boat arriving in the city. All collected in their warehouse. Everything was sorted out, nearby delivery was done by walking boys, heavier stuff and further into the inner city by hand pulled carts, outside city center by horse and wagon, surrounding countryside was serviced by tram and delivery at a local distribution point. Usually an inn where the tram would stop anyway for passengers.
    So, this study is valuable but not new, a hundred and thirty years ago efficiency and brains already ruled delivery.

    I've always recognized how much we could do just by relying on trains + a bunch of final 5km commuting vehicles, not only cargo bikes but I'll insist till the end our true sustainable commuting battle is located in Latin American, Asia-pacific and other third-world venues. Trust me, we can't keep on feeling we will be able to change the way the entire world is moving just by thinking about roading that wonderful European roads...

      So true. But also keep in mind, we would be dealing with tropical heat at that. So there surely be a different approach. Cannot be just a blue print copy of whats working in Europe and N. America

    Huge increase in speed of travel over vans! It's great that you're able to produce the data that fleet managers and Ops specialists can use for decision making. All power to the Kale Collective.

    I appreciate that you are taking a more analytical approach, would you consider releasing a full report on your findings?

    And if deliveries will change onto bikes there is no need to have a huge car infrastructure in cities and therefore it should be rebuild to give more focus on bikes. This leads to a faster time/speed with bikes and therefore the advantage will also get bigger.
    If you would like to compare a German city, I think Bremen would be a good choice because there are often heavy traffic congestion and cycling infrastructure is quite okay. Could be way better but some special routes are really great build.

    There is a reason why the Logistik Industry is using Trailers ;-) Why should it be different on bike?

    De façon général la Belgique est adapté aux vélos (piste cyclable + automobilistes respectueux). Le projet est interessant dans ce type de ville. C'est dommage, en France dans les grandes villes ça fonctionnerais pas.
