Overview
During a recent visit in one of my favourite cities, Bielefeld, I had the opportunity to try a cargobike. I hauled cargo around town and found out how extremely easy it is to use a cargobike and how much you can load on a cargobike and still be able to ride fast and agile.
I really liked that there is such a good buzz around cargobikes in Bielefeld, especially the BISELA - Bielefeld sein Lastenrad project. It will crowdfund two cargobikes that can be borrowed for free.
After some thinking I bought a cargobike, a BULLITT, and now I am going going to bike it from Bielefeld back home to Stockholm. I am used to bicycle tourism and I want to see how a cargobike can work as a touring bicycle.
So in end of July I will pick my bike up from the cargobike specialists at Velotop and start my journey back home through Germany, Denmark and Sweden.
Project status
I have picked up my Bullitt and I am on my way back to Stockholm.
Map
The route is planned to go through the flat parts in northern Germany then Denmark, a ferry will then bring me back to Sweden for the final stretch back to Stockholm.
