TUESDAY 2nd SEPTEMBER from 7.15 – 9pm
Cargobikes are seen more and more in Edinburgh, and the potential is massive, as in many European cities and elsewhere around the world.
Our public meeting on 2 September will feature the 90-minute documentary film MOTHERLOAD – a mother’s experience of how cargo bikes can be an antidote to the increasing isolation, disconnection, and planetary impact of life in C21.
The meeting will then hear from local organisations in the forefront of cargobike development in Edinburgh, including…
- Banzai [Bruntsfield Area Net Zero Action Initiative] – runs a cargobike library
- Porty Community Energy – runs a cargobike library
- Cycling Gardeners of Edinburgh – a small business using cargobikes for transport
- The Bike Station – continuing the work of former CargoBikeMovement
A great opportunity to hear what is happening in Edinburgh and around the world, and to put forward your ideas and suggestions in the QA.
