The final week of Road Safety GB’s online cycling event continues with a pre-recorded presentation explaining a newly launched community cargo bike share scheme.
The presentation has been prepared by Alper Muduroglu, founder of Peddle My Wheels.
Peddle My Wheels creates new and innovative cycling schemes in partnership with local councils, TfL, Sustrans and other organisations.
One of its latest projects is OurBike – a community cargo bike share scheme.
Under the scheme, residents and businesses can hire cargo bikes by the hour, using their smartphone to reserve it and lock/unlock it.
Alper’s presentation will explain how the scheme encourages businesses and residents to move to more sustainable travel and overcomes barriers to switching for lower socio economic groups.
It will be available via the cycling event website from 10am today (21 June).
Registration remains open for final two live events
