Decade of the Cargo Bike

Lyrics

CITIES, BUILT FOR CARS OR FOR HUMANS?
YOU’D LIKE TO THINK THE LATTER, BUT THAT FEELS LIKE AN ILLUSION
DUE TO THE CONFUSION OF URBAN LOGISTICS.
SOLUTION? CARGO BIKES’LL FIX THIS!

CITIES, BUILT FOR CARS OR FOR HUMANS?
YOU’D LIKE TO THINK THE LATTER, BUT THAT FEELS LIKE AN ILLUSION
CCUZ THE DEMANDS OF URBAN LOGISTICS ARE TIGHT
SOLUTION? THE CARGO BIKE!

THE 2020S, DECADE OF THE CARGO BIKE,
COMPARED TO VEHICLES LIKE VANS AND CARS, SO LIGHT
AND NIMBLE WEAVING THROUGH THAT DOWNTOWN TRAFFIC
DELIVER YOUR GOODS OVER THAT LAST MILE FASTER
FOR MULTIPLE REASONS,

THEY CAN USE BIKE LANES, TAKE SHORTCUTS AND PARK EASIER
PLUS CLOSER TO THE FINAL DESTINATION
COMPARED TO VAN DRIVERS WHO, ACCORDING TO THE DATA,
WALK A THIRD OF THE WAY OF THEIR AVERAGE TOTAL DISTANCE,
SO NOT ONLY DO THEY POLLUTE, THEY’RE INEFFICIENT.

AND IN THE BUSINESS OF SHIPPING, EFFICIENCY’S KEY.
PRECISELY WHY CARGO BIKES HAVE BEEN ENLISTED TO FLEETS
OF COMPANIES AS DIVERSE AS
FEDEX, AMAZON, UPS PLUS HERMES.

NO WONDER THEN THIS CARGO BIKE SOLILOQUY,
PLUS AN ULTRA LOW EMISSION FORM OF MOBILITY!
HMM, DO I SENSE SOME CONFUSION?
THAT SIMPLY MEANS THEY HELP IN REDUCING AIR POLLUTION,

CONSUMING 94% LESS ENERGY 
THAN AN E-VAN FOR THE SAME DELIVERY.
LISTEN TO ME, CARGO BIKES A NO BRAINER,
ESPECIALLY WHEN COMBINED WITH UNIVERSAL CONTAINERS

TO FORM CENTRALIZED, URBAN SHIPPING HUBS,
PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS OF CITY TRAFFIC, RIP ‘EM UP,
AND LET’S RECLAIM THE STREETS, FOR HUMANS.
THE SOLUTION? CARGO BIKE REVOLUTION!

CITIES, BUILT FOR CARS OR FOR HUMANS?
YOU’D LIKE TO THINK THE LATTER, BUT THAT FEELS LIKE AN ILLUSION
DUE TO THE CONFUSION OF URBAN LOGISTICS.
SOLUTION? CARGO BIKES’LL FIX THIS!

CITIES, BUILT FOR CARS OR FOR HUMANS?
YOU’D LIKE TO THINK THE LATTER, BUT THAT FEELS LIKE AN ILLUSION
CUZ THE DEMANDS OF URBAN LOGISTICS ARE TIGHT;
SOLUTION? THE CARGO BIKE!
