How to exploit the big potential

for a shift towards CycleLogistics

Cities can implement:Push & Pull strategies

- Restrict car/van use - Support bicycle/cargo bike use

Citizens / Consumers:

- Ask for livable public space- Use (cargo) bikes for private logistics- Ask for “delivered by bike”products

Industry and Dealers:

- Investment in the development of cargo bikes

- Offer of service contracts- Promotion and test possibilities

NGO / Associations:

- Promotion and Lobbying- Knowledge exchange- Activating members to be

ambassadors- Promotion and test possibilities
