One of my favorite local companies, Boston Organics, is hopping back on the bicycle bandwagon. Literally.
For local deliveries in close proximity to their Charlestown headquarters, Boston Organics will be using their new cargo trike to bring boxes of organic, local produce directly to customers’ doors.
Kudos to Cathy for powering the trike. I’m sure you’ll be well rewarded with some beautiful glutes.
Boston Organics isn’t the first company to employ pedal power. In fact, Jeff sought the help of Boston Pedicab to get started. You’ve seen the pedicab “drivers” around town… they wear fluorescent yellow shirts and are especially popular before and after Red Sox games.
Use these guys! It’s a huge step in reducing your company’s greenhouse gas emissions, plus you’re supporting a local business that’s doing real good for the community.

Who is building cargo bicycles in Japan? We can get the Xtracycle, the Radish, and the Big Dummy here but do you know the names of companies building cargo bicycles in Japan today?
ReplyDeleteI see Bridgestone has a long ママチャリ called Angelino. Today I saw a long Peugeot but couldn't catch the model name since it and I were pedaling in opposite directions. These long ママチャリ are marketed toward mothers - they come with child seats. I've seen some custom built cargo bikes. Of course, there are many old Miyata Worker チャリン around.
What about new cargo bicycles in Japan?
