    STILL PROGRESSING

    Improvements still needed...

    Despite this growing trend, small changes are still needed to fully accommodate this type of bike.
    Indeed, these bikes, being wider and heavier, are not compatible with all infrastructures. While cargo bikes have many advantages, there are also some challenges to overcome to generalize their adoption. Urban infrastructure needs to be adapted to accommodate cargo bikes, with well-designed bike lanes and adequate parking spaces.

    Some regions can also encourage the use of cargo bikes by offering financial incentives and supporting the creation of cargo bike delivery services. Economical, ecological... Cargo bikes are at the heart of all trends!
