London plumber Shane Topley was inspired to test out an e-cargo bike after seeing the benefits of reduced motor traffic during the first lockdown last year. “I expected to do something between 50 and 60 per cent of my business by bicycle,” he says. “But I’ve actually discovered it’s closer to 95 per cent.”

It’s safe to say he’s a convert, describing an e-cargo bike as an “invigorating” way to get around.

“Every time I get on it, I’m blown away,” he says. “It’s amazing.”

Topley first got in touch with East London organisation CarryMe Bikes, which sells and rents out cargo bikes and e-cargo bikes. They spoke to him at length about what sort of a bike would suit his needs.

He doesn’t appear to have looked back and says that since getting his first e-cargo bike, he’s only used his van twice.

“Both times I’ve been seriously disappointed because one time it took me 40 minutes to find somewhere to park. Another time it was just wall-to-wall traffic.

“So I feel rather smug, I have to say, as I cruise down past all the cars that are nose to tail.”

Topley concedes that reduced cargo capacity means he has to plan his day a little more carefully, but argues that this isn’t necessarily such a bad thing.

He now tries to consolidate his work, scheduling multiple boiler services on the same day, for example.

“It does mean a little more running back and forth. But actually that’s quite nice because it brings me home for lunch, which is really lovely.”

Reflecting on his e-bike switch, he concludes: “Everybody should be doing it.”

If a tradesman visited me riding a silly kids toy he would be fucked right
off.

Switching to a different form of motor transport is entirely his
business, of course. The fact that he says he has done it (as stated by
the retailer of the fairy-bikes concerned), indicates that his transport
needs (in terms of weight carried and miles travelled) are and must be
modest.

As he says, there are disadvantages, and one should always remember that
his case might be just the "right" side of marginal, whereas for the
majority of tradesmen, who may have to cover an entire city-region, or
perhaps a county or two, their cases would a LONG way the other side of
the margin. No-one can cycle across a county or two - complete with
tools. spares, etc - on a fairy-cycle, even with an electric motor.

I'm sure it'd be alright for calls near a central depot, to which easy
resort (for spares, tools, etc) may be had several times during the day.

But totally useless for an engineer who had to cover a large city region
from end to end, still less a couple of counties.

I think we all know you are gay but raping someone for using a HPV is beyond even your perversion.
