I let a couple of young lads have a go on my Christiania tadpole. One said something very interesting- that it is like horse riding. We need to seek out these similes, tell others about them , let people experience them. I loved trying a long tail but they don’t work for me as I have balance...

Wot? No reactions to my proposals to change the world? :)

It has been recognised that mega fauna- like elephants- are often missing from ecosystems but they are key indicators of ecosystem health Are we understanding cargo cycles as the megafauna of mobility and transport ecosystems? The motor carriage is actually a niche species that easily becomes a...

Cargo bike shops should be more common than car showrooms. Why aren’t they? Why is the transport and mobility ecosystem so skewed and damaged? It needs yellowstoning

The local Salvation Army is setting up a cycle recycling scheme. They have had a brand new workshop and store built. They had to rebuild their entrance because they had not designed it for my cargo trike although I had been using them for years when they were using their church by moving pews...

I was giving children rides on my cargo trike during a car free day on a local street and gave a mother control of it carefully watched by me. She had never ridden a bike in her life. I strongly recommend cargo trikes - tadpoles- as gateways

For example, supermarket car parks can become homes by replicating Urban Villor Malmö and last mile logistics should be by cargo cycle from railway station logistics hubs

I had a serious health incident that has led to me completely reviewing how I get around. I discuss this in various places on my blog for example https://clivedurdle.wordpress.com/2021/01/09/enabling-a-disabled-persons-mobility-service-%E2%80%8B/ I understand the cargo cycle as key to a...
