Especially in countries with extensive bicycle use, for example in Denmark or the Netherlands, a
consciousness for cargo bikes can be detected. Nevertheless cargo bikes are mainly used in private.
Through this study 38 businesses and project examples in Europe, that use cargo bikes for
commercial reasons, were detected. They are concentrated in a small number of countries. Most of
the examples could be found in Great Britain, Belgium, Austria, Spain and Germany. Looking on the
locations it can be stated that the examples operate in big city (>100.000 inhabitants), with mostly
only a slightly hilly topography.
