Think cargo bikes are just for delivery services?

Think again! From plumbers to technicians, cargo bikes are revolutionizing service logistics. 🚴‍♂️💼

Saw 4 bakfiets in Hoboken NJ tonight with all sorts of cargo! 2 had random furniture items, one had groceries, the last was hauling 2 children. Very versatile vehicles!

The recognition of the value of cargo bikes in America, is so, so overdue.

There's a lot of arguments here where people are pushing back against this because of the need for larger materials, but a large majority of if jobs never need most of the equipment in their trucks. That inventory often stays there moving around the cities and country side for months.

i carry multiple tool sets // computers all worth 1000's when acquired. i never have a clue what set will be needed for a particular service call. time is money so a half hour /hour trip back and forth to get the right set & missing a specific screw driver or bit just sucks. now a service call has a 4-5 hour min for possibly the simplest task. also i need to have the tools secured so they don't walk.

I love my cargo bike. And so does my dog.

[brandywell]

for a service provider, eg plumber, security of the cargo bike will be an issue

As a heavier rider, cargo bikes can deal with more weight; having a higher payload capacity. Benno is so far the best designer in combining several bike styles into one with also a high payload capacity as a Hybrid Cargo e-bike style.

Nobody here delivers with a cargo bike, still would like one.

You're saying plumbers are going to carry 10 foot pipes on their bike?

[Shakerx]

Dumb thinking when you don't have all your tools on hand, can't carry lengths of pipe and timber, or ladders. Also, time is money. The hourly rate requires a much larger service call because of the time lost in transit.

Well... That particular is very bad idea. If you are electrician, plumber etc your tools/working material are worth more than the car or bike. The problem start when you need to leave tools or materials under the location of work. Theft or rain. There are mayor flaws in idea.

[florinb]

But sadly theft will sky rocket-from bike and bike

Sounds very freakin good!!!
BUT… a semi truck can pull hundreds of thousands of pounds but I wish it could replace everything.. what you described about technician etc makes a lot of sense!
