Cargocycles cargo bikes

A cargo bike is the ultimate vehicle for local transport.

Half of all car journeys taken in Australian cities are under 5km. While many of these journeys could be taken by bicycle, there's often a need to carry more luggage, children or other cargo than a conventional bike can comfortably carry. A cargo bike is perfectly suited to these journeys.

Cargo bikes have been used for more than a century in Northern Europe. The Dutch call this type of bike a "bakfiets" ("bak" means box; "fiets" means bike). In Denmark, a cargo bike is called a "ladcykel" (load-cycle).

From their origins in Amsterdam and Copenhagen, bakfietsen have gained popularity in throughout Western Europe and are now attracting a cult following in parts of the USA. Now bakfietsen have arrived in Australia.
