We are currently in a transition period, and @the_bikestation have taken on our mission and vision. Stay tuned for updates on our projects!
We are excited to share our Impact Report covering 2020-2025, which you can read in full on www.cargobikemovement.org.

The report reflects on CBM's history, work, and impact, and more generally on the potential for cargo bike adoption in Edinburgh. 🚲

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.

Thanks to @NourishScotland for organising today's march to #BringBackTheBill on #HumanRightsDay.
In Scotland, 14% of adults experience food poverty.
We started redistributing surplus food in 2020 as an emergency response. And nothing has changed.

Thanks very much to Councillor Jenkinson @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social for your visit earlier this week. We talked cargo bikes, active travel, and the future of CBM. Next time you'll have to try out one of the bikes!

This started off informally during the Covid-19 pandemic, when volunteers on cargo bikes started redistributing surplus supermarket food in response to food insecurity.

This has grown into what it is today thanks our amazing volunteers and partnerships with other charitable organisations.

We are Cargo Bike Movement! We are new to Bluesky and want to introduce ourselves.

Our aim is to make our communities fairer, greener, and healthier.

So how do we aim to do this using cargo bikes? ➡️
