What we do
We’re here for the cargo bike. How? By telling stories, engaging, promoting, lobbying and cooperating.
We organise the International Cargo Bike Festival
With humble beginnings in 2012, the International Cargo Bike Festival (ICBF) has grown into the place where the cargo bike world comes together.
The ICBF also engages with and attracts and professionals from government, the voluntary sector, logistics and a wide range of other sectors, as well as investors. Not to mention people interested in personal mobility and in campaigning to change their cities and the environment for the better.
We tell stories…
Every cargo bike has a story – as does every individual, family or organisation that uses them. We’re here to tell those stories.
Our cargo bike magazine – Carrier – aims to tell these stories. In it you’ll find beautiful imagery and inspiration from across the globe.
We first published Carrier in 2023, but that’s not where it all began. Before that, we published The ICBF Magazine every year since 2016. The whole back-catalogue is available to read free online.
We also regularly publish long-read feature articles on our website. In these, we take a deep dive into a topic, organisation or product, exploring the implications for the industry and society at large.
We cooperate…
We are proud members of the Dutch Cycling Embassy
The DCE is a public-private organisation which shares expertise and technology to facilitate cycling worldwide as the most modern, efficient and sustainable method of transport.
We work together with Dutch Cycling Week
Dutch Cycling Week is an Utrecht-based knowledge platform and activation initiative to stimulate bicycle use in the broadest sense of the word. The organisation aims – by bringing a number of cycling-related events under its umbrella – to become the world’s largest platform for knowledge sharing, policy making and stimulation for bicycle use.
