If the longest road trip you can take without going in circles is 10 or 15 miles maybe that doesn't require a car, you know?

Poster advertising Cargocat - a cycling alleycat race in Sheffield on Saturday 8th November. The main image is a black pen drawing of a cat in a cargobike being pedaled by another cat, against a pink circle background on a white background. There are loads of sponsors and it looks very cool

It's a year since devastating flash floods hit Valencia. Community responders on cargo bikes stepped in to deliver aid, challenging conventional notions of urban mobility in the process.

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

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

I survived the Bristol disaster relief trial yesterday on an acoustic cargo bike, including the medical task (bandage), the mechanical task (puncture), brought 2x14kg sandbags, radio equipment and 25l of water collected from the river after some offroading.

It's a disaster drill in the form of a cargo bike competition.

"It’s all about blending the fun of a cargo bike meet-up with the serious, necessary aim of building community resilience in the face of potential disasters," - organiser Rob Byrne.
