No car? No worries! IKEA Utrecht started a pilot in which customers can rent an electric cargo bike, four-wheeler with storage box or bike trailer to transport their purchases home, without needing a car. If the pilot proves a succes, it will be expanded to the rest of the country. 🚲 πŸ“¦ πŸ‘ŒπŸΌ

Holding a bag of your blood is a surreal experience. This 500ml of O- 🩸 heading for processing and then maybe use at neo natal units. #GiveBlood as stocks are low... plus you get free snacks at the end.

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

Reduce, reuse recycle. Local cycling contact had an old BOB single wheel trailer going. Will put this to good use a dog trailer / BBQ hauler. Ride is so smooth.

Err.. Dad fail with 2 of the kids footballs lodged in a tree at Northumberland Park. 'worst Dad in the world' apparently.

Metro could live stream this view from windows along the coast near Longsands.

I met Jackie Chan once, a lovely bloke.

Part of the newbie #RNLI crew doing our 'acquaint' trip on one of the boats this morning at Tynemouth. If you need help by the coast, call 999 and ask for the coastguard.

Hoping Google Maps does a cycling version of this with all types of bikes including cargo bike, adaptive bike and upright step through.

Amazing sight through neighbours telescope of partial #SolarEclipse From North Shields, UK 10:20am. Tintin and "Prisoners of the Sun" always comes to mind.

Hey, Have you checked in on your friend whose bike is in pieces lately? What about that other friend who can’t ride because they got hurt last time? Your cycling friends often depend on your friendship more than you realize. This is your reminder to check in on them. We all need each other. πŸ’š

Everything is possible on a bicycle

Amazing scheme this weekend from down under, aiming for a UK event in 2026. www.spoketoabloke.org

A number of reasons to love this event, one is the variety and number of bikes out front. Well done to Jackie and the team for today.

Shout out for this awesome event πŸ‘‡ β€˜No Time For Waste’ Environmental Gathering πŸ—“οΈSunday 16 March πŸ“Linskill Centre #NorthShields ⏰10:00 to 16:00 Also check out friendly faces from 😁 @ntstreetlife.bsky.social

Middle Ground is a new, roaming artist residency series based on a cargo bike, starting in summer 2025. Its goal? To bridge divides, bring people together and counter polarisation. πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

My brother is at this annual second hand bike sale in Luxembourg, 800 bikes.. 🀀 Supported by a supermarket chain, hosted in their carpark, using shopping vouchers as currency and 5€ commission for charity on each bike sale. Nice.

Lovely little community cake pop up happening today at St Augustin's Church #NorthShields, starts 10am. Get in quick, as the red velvet sold out within 15mins.

The Pi Bike, a fully functional bicycle made from carbon fiber material Designers: Martijn Koomen and Tadas Maksimovas #PiDay

Celebrating the little wins at the moment and this epic leftovers combo hits the mark.

Balancing parenting v. community projects/advocacy is delicate. One hand you are doing it for them and the next generation, the other time spent volunteering means less time with the kids. I'm at the embarrassing Dad stage in any case, probably for the next 20 years.

Think small. Live big. #CargoBikes

"Out there.... past them trees" (iykyk) A woodpecker this morning doing their thing.

On Friday the 21st of March Cargo Bike Movement are hosting a TREASURE HUNT by bike! The event is family-friendly with a circuit around the Meadows completing challenges, and clues taking teams across Edinburgh. All wheels are welcome. Exciting prizes to be announced soon...πŸ‘€

A neighbour scored this excellent Claud Butler tandem in great condition with 2 brooks saddles. From Recyke y’bike 🚲🚲

Buy your dog a cargo bike. πŸ•

Heading to an #ActiveTravel conference today - offers to meet up before hand, share lifts, ride some of the way... Very nice community to be a part of.

Dammit. Someone nicked our cute lil yellow Yoonit. A mini cargo bike. Share around, and keep an eye out around Edinburgh. Shout at @cargobikemovement.bsky.social if you see it. Let's make this thing too hot to handle. Bike theft is the worst. Bike theft from a CHARITY is something else 😀

Even if you mixed House of Cards, the weirdest West Wing and Designated Survivor - writers could not have made up that up.

Never forget. Cargo bikes aren’t a new invention. They’ve been around as long as cars, and have always been used both business and people carrying kids. #activetravel #cargobikes #utilitycycling #betterbybike

Shout out to this effort below. So good on so many levels. πŸ‘πŸš²πŸ“¦πŸ₯«

My Nonno circa 1920s gritting his teeth celebrating a cold water dip. Wonder what that logo is on his singlet?

Going through some files and it was nice to get a reply on letterhead from #nasa about my inquiry/enquiry to be an astronaut from way back.

Nonna, per favore, mi scusi
