Vancouver’s new fleet of cargo tricycles

Tricycles could soon be coming to Vancouver’s bike lanes – and they’ll be hauling much more than balance-challenged preschoolers. A group of postsecondary students will launch a business in May that will use cargo tricycles to deliver goods around the city’s downtown core. The business is the first of its kind in Vancouver and will feature specially made bikes that can carry up to 270 kilograms of cargo, anything from office supplies to furniture.
