Register of Initiatives in Pedal Powered Logistics - RIPPL #1

Cyclehoop is a cycle
parking company based in South East London. The company works with several of
London's 33 local authorities, or boroughs.
Among Cyclehoop's most successful
products are Bikehangars and public bike pumps and because these products have
moving parts, regular maintenance is required. Cyclehoop employs one person
specifically for this job and instead of a van, a cargo bike is used. All tools
and materials necessary to clean, maintain and fix the Bikehangars and Pumps
are able to be carried on the bike.
This approach makes a lot of sense in
London, where congestion means crossing the city is much quicker by bike. The nature of the work means that
multiple stops are necessary, which would be made difficult in a van by
London's narrow, busy streets and expensive because of parking restrictions.
