Stimulating the adoption of cargo bikes

Share, try-before-you-buy, procurement and grants, connection to your customers, convenience for your business

Facilitated by: Richard Armitage, Executive Director, and Gary Armstrong, Training Manager, European Cycle Logistics Federation

With MJ Somerville, Cargo Bike Library, Sustrans Scotland and Oli Ivens, Consultant, MP Smarter Travel

Cargo bikes are zero emission at point of use, whilst reducing congestion and noise. There are three main cargo bike use categories: private and domestic (families, shopping, leisure); services (plumber, street scene cleaning, gardener); and last, first and only mile deliveries. In all three sectors, Councils can easily stimulate more rapid and wider adoption of cargo bikes.

	Last mile deliveries in cities: does consolidation work? Facilitated by: Richard Armitage, Executive Director, and Gary Armstrong, Training Manager, European Cycle Logistics Federation Everyone is familiar with the sight of several vans at the same location delivering or collecting parcels or making collections, each driver employed by a different express courier. Attempts to reduce this through parcel consolidation hubs have met with mixed results. This session will explore new thinking about micro-hubs, repurposed parking space, and the contribution of digitisation to more efficient city logistics. It will be of interest to transport or urban planners keen to keep their cities going whilst radically reducing the number of freight vehicle movements needed to achieve this.	Cycling Infrastructure Prioritisation Toolkit workshop Facilitated by Malcolm Morgan and Robin Lovelace, Leeds Institute for Transport Studies, University of Leeds The Cycling Infrastructure Prioritisation Toolkit (CyIPT ), is a prototype developed by the University of Leeds and funded by the Department of Transport. The purpose of the toolkit is to aid decision makers in finding the best places to put new cycle infrastructure. CyIPT uses data about the existing road network, such as speed limits, road types and traffic levels combined with information about cycling levels to reccomend the most appropriate type of cycle infrastructure on each road in England. CyIPT then attempts to group its recommendations into buildable schemes, and evaluate thoses schemes by estimating: Construction costs Increase in number of cyclists Benefits from increased cycling Benefit cost ratios		Cycle safari and social walk Cycle tour of Chelmsford City: A 4 mile tour of the city to experience and understand existing, new and proposed cycling infrastructure measures that make up the £15m South East Local Enterprise Partnerships Local Growth Fund (SELEP LGF) sustainable transport package.
