Happy World Bicycle Day to everyone!
We have cycled more than ten laps around the world and delivered packages, fruit baskets, company packages, rental machines and much more.
Time to celebrate World Bicycle Day 3 June. The whole idea behind World Bicycle Day is to show all the benefits of cycling for health and the environment.
Our ten laps around the world have made a big difference. The last mile is the stretch that causes the most problems for the environment, the climate and our health. Moving more goods from vans to e-cargo bikes is our top priority. In this way, we all contribute to safer and quieter urban environments that make us all feel better.
World Cycle Day is about more than good health - it's also about economic growth. Our cargo bikes move more smoothly in urban environments as we use bike lanes and don't queue, which means we maintain a higher productivity and are more efficient in the city compared to vans.
But most of all, World Bicycle Day is perhaps still about the positive health effects of cycling, even on a day when it might rain. The very image we celebrate with today is when Jędrzej is cycling in the drizzle - this is how he describes the job at Velove:
"As a person who moved to Stockholm to study sustainable urban solutions, working in Velove seemed like the right choice. I can't imagine a better way for me to have learned the city - after a year of riding I don't think there was a street I have not visited! The fact that we operate in English was a big factor too and of course opportunity for flexible hours, as I studied. But in hindsight, I think what really made me stay were the lovely people I got to work with, that is always what it comes down to."
Happy World Bicycle Day to everyone!
