Blog post discussing key results of a study on professional cargo bike adoption in Finland:
–A lack of awareness of the utility and benefits of cargo bikes
–The prevailing perception of parcel logistics as automobile-based
–Lack of financial incentives
–Infrastructural limitations in terms of the inadequate path widths suitable for cargo bikes, and winter maintenance
–Cost constraints: inadequate funding for bicycle planning in cities #cycling#cargobike https://pyoraliitto.fi/blogi/what-truly-hinders-cargo-bike-adoption
”In conclusion, the results point to three initial areas of focus recommended to accelerate adoption of cargo bikes, in Finland, also replicable in other countries. Firstly, awareness is a key starting point. Well-mapped out and funded awareness campaigns both physical and digital are recommended, targeted at promoting the awareness of cargo bikes and diverse utility of cycling for both general users and businesses.”
