We organise the International Cargo Bike Festival
With humble beginnings back in 2012 in Nijmegen, the annual International Cargo Bike Festival (ICBF) has grown into the place where the cargo bike world comes together.
The ICBF attracts B2C and B2B users as well as professionals from government, the voluntary sector, logistics and a wide range of other sectors, including those involved in advocacy. In other words; anyone interested in how mobility can help to change cities and the environment for the better.
ICBF 2023 takes place on November 24-26 at RAI Amsterdam, co-locating with Fully Charged LIVE Europe.

We tell stories
Every cargo bike has a story – as does every individual, family or organisation that uses them.
Our new cargo bike magazine – Carrier – aims to tell these stories. In it you’ll find beautiful imagery and inspiration from across the globe.

We published Carrier issue 01 in late 2023, but we’ve been publishing magazines 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 promote
We help businesses and organisations involved in cargo bikes to meet their goals. How? By promoting themselves at our events or online, or by connecting them to our extensive network – both within and outside of the cargo bike industry.
We lobby
We initiate, participate in and mediate conversations with government, NGOs and others relating to cargo bikes. Issues and topics such as cargo bike parking, subsidies, pilot projects and more.
We consult
We are proud members of the Dutch Cycling Embassy, a public-private organisation which shares expertise and technology to facilitate cycling worldwide as the most modern, efficient and sustainable method of transport.
