Cargo bike food delivery
Stefan who runs yourbikeproject.uk which has now turned into a Saturday foodbank was helping the local community by delivering boxes of food to local families on the Haringey – Hackney border
Just before the video was taken Stefan was asked what he was doing by a passer by who had a 94 year old mum living on her own, we took her details and passed on to the community leaders who will add 1 more to their list
Being so visible and a relatively unusual sight brought many smiles of puzzlement and amazement and its nice to be asked to help out
Outputs
- 11 large boxes of food delivered by 2 short cargo bike trips
- 4 miles travelled 1.6 kg of C02 avoided
