On the same day diesel hit £2 a litre for the first time, we took 50+ cargo bikes onto the streets of London for the seventh Cargo Bike Cruise.
While diesel vans are getting more expensive to run, cargo bikes are becoming a practical and cheaper option for more and more businesses.

Back in the day, if you bought a Porsche or similar, the dealer would strongly advise you to have some training. Now high performance cars are being sold to drivers who last had instruction 40 years ago for shopping. Even standard ICE car performance has increased a lot over the last 15 years.
