We estimate there are around 5,000 primary pupils driven to schools in Lambeth and the majority of these car trips travel distances of over a mile. Longer school runs like this can be more challenging for young children to cycle or walk themselves, but it’s perfect for a cargo bike, which is usually e-assist, so perfect for hills and carrying heavy school bags.
That's why we organise events like this one in Streatham Wells for parents with cargo bikes to chat to parents thinking about buying cargo bikes, to encourage more people to use them.
Find out more about it in this article for Brixton Buzz here. And contact us if you're interested in helping us host more of them. hello@solvetheschoolrun.org
