Cargo Bike

Food Sharing Project

Cargo Bike Movement has actively participated in 17 events across Edinburgh. Through these events, they engaged with 7114 people, offering conversations and bike trials. These events served as a platform to promote cargo bikes and the broader Cargo Bike Movement, advocating for active travel.

In terms of cargo bike loans, Cargo Bike Movement delivered 687 days of loans this year, currently maintaining active loans with businesses, community groups, and individuals. Beneficiaries of these loans include The Tool Library, Dalry Bike Depot, The Bethany Trust, and the Edinburgh International Festival.

The organisation has made significant contributions to surplus food collections, gathering over 45 tonnes of food this year using cargo bikes. This food was delivered to the Shrub Co-op Food Bank, directly addressing food insecurity. By using cargo bikes, Cargo Bike Movement not only reduced carbon emissions by avoiding cars and vans but also prevented food destined for landfills from contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.
