Use Cargo Bikes instead of your SUV for Daily School drop-offs
With a recent price hike in gas prices, it might be a great idea for you to drop your kids to school on a cargo bike instead of your gas guzzlin’ SUV or van.
The popularity of the machines is likely to have been boosted by Richmond raising the cost of a parking permit for a large-engined “gas guzzler” to £150. It is also considering charging £75 for an annual permit to drop children off at school by car.
Tony Juniper, director of Friends of the Earth, said he had bought his wife a cargo bike for Christmas: ‘We’ve been trying to cut down on car use and this is perfect for shopping and carrying heavier goods. We even take our youngest to chess matches.’
