New York City has a sizable number of small deliveries (flowers, take-out food, small parcels, dry cleaning) delivered by low-wage workers on bicycles or trikes equipped with enormous baskets and racks. This practice does not appear to be officially promoted or endorsed however. For example: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Ikh5aBWgq28/TNhcmJC7lzI/AAAAAAAABQk/Uc2liQzDwP A/s1600/SL377599.JPG Cheers, Michelle -----Original Message----- From: Cycling and Society Research Group discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Jane Pearce Sent: Wednesday, 24 November, 2010 16:27 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Hi from New Zealand I have not posted before so hope this is an appropriate post. Is anyone aware of towns/cities where there is a 'reasonable' level of use of cargo bikes/trikes outside of the Netherlands/Denmark/Portland OR? Also, are you aware of examples of community based schemes where people on low incomes can access load carrying bikes/trikes/trailers etc (like the Watershed in Sydney) or delivery/transport services such as cycle taxis or grocery deliveries?
