Despite the Royal Mail abandoning their bicycles due to “the dangers of cycling,” Office Depot launched its London cargo bike scheme with Olympic track sprinter and BMXer Jamie Staff promoting.
Via Bike For All, Office Depot’s cargo bikes will take motorised traffic off the roads: 75 percent of Office Depot’s deliveries in London’s Square Mile will be transferred from vans to bicycles. In the London EC district Office Depot normally distribute around 1350 cartons of office supplies each day. Around 900 cartons per day will now transfer to the cargo cycle, meaning less vans on the street.
