Transport groceries thanks to a carrier bike : cyclologistic boom
The metamorphosis of cities that has led to more urban areas. Thanks to this, bicycles seem to be the #1 alternative to cars. The bicycle is often shunned upon because of its lack of practicality. It is difficult to carry heavy or bulky loads on a conventional bicycle. Fortunately, for cyclists who want to carry loads, there is a solution: the carrier bike. AddBike has modernised the carrier bike to meet current needs and preferences of urban cyclists. With its carrier bike the U-Cargo and AddBike + conversion kit transport of goods has never been easier!
The carrier bike’s glorious years and its loss in popularity
The carrier bike was very popular in the 20th century, as it was used by traders and craftsmen to make short distance deliveries. For this reason, some people speak nostalgically about butcher’s bikes or baker’s bikes. Above all, they were used to transport light loads over several kilometres as well as mail. After the end of the Second World War, this means of transport was replaced by motor vehicles. This was the end of the two or three-wheeled bicycles’ golden age.
The carrier bike is more modern than ever thanks to AddBike!
Cycling: an ecological, economical means of transport that is extremely well suited to city transport, is gaining new enthusiasts every day. The carrier bike has taken advantage of this trend to return to a younger, urban target group.
