Karina, Oleksii, Yuliya and Mishael; you have our unwavering solidarity. We look forward to the day when your cargo bikes are no longer symbols of perseverance, but of a Ukraine being rebuilt in freedom and peace. We're sure you will be at the forefront of those pedal-powered efforts.

Let that sink in. Four years of air-raids, sirens, blackouts and terror. Today our thoughts are with our Kyiv-based friends at CargoCult & Mishael in Kherson. Their strength in the face of such an ordeal โ which they didn't ask for โ reminds us what true resilience looks like.

#DecadeoftheCargoBike
STROOM brings ecargo-bikes to communities. Their approach looks at this 'chaos' and identifies hidden systems of self-organisation, patterns and order. Seemingly unrelated elements which, when connected, can combine to form coherent platforms.
#DecadeoftheCargoBike
Meanwhile, there is a lack of infrastructure, traditional electric vehicles are too expensive and 62% of 15-24 year-olds are unemployed.
