We had SUCH a blast at the Treasure Hunt on Friday!
It was amazing to have our community come together for this. Thank you to our partners and the businesses who helped sponsor this event, and to all the treasure hunters who made this event so much fun!

Next Friday is our treasure hunt! We wanted to clarify the timings of the event - teams can enter and start anytime in the afternoon, with 12 being the earliest start. We wanted to make the event accessible for parents with afternoon school kickout times.
See you there! 🙌🏼🚴🏴☠️

We have launched an Everpress campaign to raise money for the continuation of the food collections by cargo bike, which face an uncertain future with the winding up of Cargo Bike Movement and changes at Shrub.

Infrastructure allows people to willingly do journeys that they wouldn't have done. Particularly true for families that want to stay fit & avoid busy junctions. Large number of our family cargobike sales are close to shared use path / quiet routes. @cargobikemovement.bsky.social @sw20ed.bsky.social
Lots of new bike infrastructure to celebrate! Hear how new bike lanes have improved local residents' lives!

Thank you, thank you @cargobikemovement.bsky.social. Like @agordonsalive.bsky.social you gave us our first ever go on a cargo bike and we got hooked. And the cargo bike event you organised with us at the school converted many more. We are grateful. Well done for your hard effort!
Thanks @cargobikemovement.bsky.social you came to Wester Hailes & gave me my first shot on a cargo bike 🙏🏻 We went on to buy one, partly as long covid mitigation so my wife & me could continue to enjoy cycling, & then we got rid of our car. Best thing we ever did. Brought a lot of joy into our lives.

Thank you @carovarin.bsky.social and others who have shared stories about CBM. It's really special to hear what that first time a cargo bike, and the ripple effects that this first interaction can make!
We're hoping to collect more testimonies as we approach a new chapter of CBM's story🚲

It's bittersweet for everyone in @cargobikemovement.bsky.social, but moving into @thebikestation.bsky.social is seriously the best way to protect and further our mission here.
While technically it's a 'winding down' in reality: we're still here! Just part of a bigger team.
