We’re calling for change: a straightforward large vehicle levy, that would raise nearly Β£2bn for vital public investment.

What Happens When Real People Try e-Cargo Bikes?
YouTube video by Global Cycling Network What Happens When Real People Try e-Cargo Bikes?

Cargo bikes. They're not for everyone, but for a lot of people they can and do replace a lot of car trips. Good news for people that want less traffic.
