On the second day of the Cycling Conference, this year's winner of the Swedish national cycling advocacy organisation's - Cykelfrämjandet - essay scholarship of SEK 10,000 was presented. This year it goes to Joel Otterloo Kuronen. He has investigated the potential of cargo bikes to replace car travel in Swedish cities.
The study shows that the potential is enormous! In Gothenburg, as many as 92 percent of the population can reach 9 out of 10 everyday needs within 15 minutes by cargo bike. At the same time, the study identifies three main areas that prevent a greater use of cargo bikes: behaviors/norms as well as infrastructure and economy.
