Since I wrote a post suggesting the Cargo Bike Club, there has been a lot of interest in the idea from all over the world and even from London. However, one or two people have asked “what is a cargo bike?”, so I have found this wee video from Streetfilms, recorded at the Copenhagen cargo bike race, which should explain something of the concept.

My vision, or rather my (day)dream, is to establish a cargo bike culture here in the best wee country in the world, then spread it to the rest of the world! Indeed, the Australians have been reading my thoughts even before I have had them, and came up with the Watershed Bike Library. Don’t worry, I am not really intent on world domination…

Start a Cargo Bike Club? Good on ya! No need to try to spread the idea to Seattle, though; we’re already doing it: http://rideyourbike.com/cargorides.shtml Feel free to come ride with us sometime!
