Yeah acoustic as in non-electric (following acoustic guitar vs electric guitar).
Also referred to as manual or muscle :)

Some were on e-bikes and they took a time penalty unless they could provide photo evidence for how they would charge (e.g. generator hooked up to bike wheel powering a charger)

When disaster strikes and roads, power, or fuel supplies are cut off, how do communities keep going?
This year, the first-ever European DRT rolled into Bristol, and Matt survived it!

Read our latest blog post to find out if Matt survived keert.uk/blog/survivi...

A person in a bright green Keert T-shirt is taking a selfie. Next to him is another person wearing a t-shirt saying Zero Trucks Driven. In the background are 2 people next to a front loading cargo bike in front of a reinforced concrete structure covered in graffiti. Just visible in the background is a vista looking out over Bristol - this photo was taken at the top of a very high hill

When you move parcels in a planet-friendly way, you sometimes make friends on the way 🐿️🐦🦔🦡🦆

At Keert, we care for our communities big & small - people, places...and the biosphere - you get the picture!

Because deliveries should never cost the Earth

#CargoBike #IsleOfWight

Cartoon of a person riding a front loading cargo bike. A bird has landed on the load bed and the person is saying hey Mr Birdie

Another view of the same bike. The load bed now has 3 birds and 2 red squirrels. The rider comments aww, how cute

The rider is now looking like they're putting in a lot of effort. The bike has 4 squirrels, 4 birds squawking and a duck quacking

A tired looking rider is now carrying a menagerie on the bike including red squirrels, birds, a fox, hedgehog and badger.
The rider is saying ok, I'm going to have to charge you

New-fangled? Not really.

Cargo bikes have been delivering since long before vans ruled the road.

We’re just putting a modern spin on an old-school classic - good service, close to home, done properly with zero tailpipe emissions.

Just like deliveries should be!

#CargoBike #IsleOfWight

Cartoon of cargo bike zipping past traffic. A person in a hat says newfangled things that will never work. The person next to him has thought bubbles going off to the right

A thought bubble surrounds a sepia toned cartoon of a boy riding a bike with a large basket of bread along a cobbled street

A cartoon map with 8 cargo bikes of different colours moving along routes each of the same colour with pins showing drop off points

The person in the hat from the first picture is saying to the other person this is customer service like it used to be in the olden days. Why can't all deliveries be like this. They are receiving a parcel out of a cargo bike from a happy rider

Also referred to as manual or muscle, but acoustic is funnier to me :)

You have to get the whole load and the bike over the obstacle

One guy with a Urban Arrow Family brought a ramp along for the whole ride just to get over it!
