A peloton of 80 cargo cycles traverses London’s streets one August afternoon. Among them are the familiar trikes of a “zero-emissions courier,” beside the two-wheelers of a cycling electrician.
Dalston Egg Shop owner Simon Boot says he can carry the weekly delivery of 1400 eggs without breakages. Another machine, with a sealed box at the front, carries garments between high-end retail stores and city tailors. One more, with a self-contained passenger trailer, carries Member of Parliament Stella Creasy and her daughter.
