➔ On 12-13 October, cycle logistics professionals from across the globe will gather in Utrecht to tackle this and many more of the most pressing questions in cycle logistics today - as well as in other cargo bike-related topics – at the International Cargo Bike Festival. 👇

The conversation continues ➔ If it's twice as fast, ten times cheaper, doubles productivity and dramatically reduces environmental impact, why isn't cycle logistics more widespread? What are the barriers to adoption and how do we remove them? 👇

Read the study ➔ We'd encourage you to dig further. That starts by reading this study by Kale AI, Urbike & Larry vs Harry (➔ larryvsharry.com/blogs/busine...) + any other academic literature on cargo bikes + cycle logistics. That's the best way to keep the conversation going... 👇

"So, a lot of the decisions that are being made are still based on assumptions and misconceptions. Having data and studies that prove the benefits and the potential of cargo bikes can accelerate the transition to much more sustainable and efficient ways of moving things around in cities." 👇

CONCLUSIONS! Grounding logistics in data ➔ "Today, many operators still don't understand the potential of cargo bikes," says Nicolas Collignon, co-founder at Kale AI with a PhD in computational cognitive science and lead author of the report. 👇

International Cargo Bike Festival @cargobikefest.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Environmental impact: 98% fewer emissions ➔ 98% lower lifecycle emissions vs. diesel vans; 96% vs. electric vans. ➔ The study points out switching to electric vans doesn't solve space or congestion issues. The smaller size + nimbleness of cargo bikes directly reduces strain on urban space. 👇

International Cargo Bike Festival @cargobikefest.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Costs: Ten times cheaper ➔ €0.10 estimated operating cost per parcel for cargo bikes. ➔ €1.10 per parcel for small diesel vans; €1.05 for small electric vans. ➔ Cargo bikes also have lower capital expenditure, minimal maintenance, and zero parking fees going for them. 👇

International Cargo Bike Festival @cargobikefest.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Productivity: Double the deliveries ➔ 10.1 deliveries/hr by e-cargo bike vs. 4.9 by van. ➔ Cargo bikes parked within 30 metres from the door on average, drastically reducing walking time. Meanwhile, previous studies have shown that vans can spend up to 25 min per stop just searching for parking. 👇

Speed: Twice as fast ➔ 48 mins vs 99 mins: avg route time for 8.5km run vs. simulated van routes ➔16 km/h average speed: cargo bikes maintained consistent speeds. Vans averaged 11 km/h due to congestion ➔30% shorter routes: access to cycling infrastructure + local shortcuts reduced distance 👇

➔ A 2023 Brussels-based study fitted GPS trackers to 9 e-cargo bikes, recording 7,340 deliveries across 907 routes over 1.5 months. The study, carried out by Kale AI, Urbike and Larry vs Harry, looked at speed, productivity, costs and environmental impact, comparing with to simulated van routes. ️👇
