Bikes are efficient, reliable and healthy ways to deliver and move goods and services in the city.
Many types of bikes can be used such as two-wheeled pedal bikes, bikes with trailers, cargo bikes, trikes, and electric-assist bikes.

Cyclelogistics
The term “cyclelogistics” is used to describe the integration of bikes into the goods movement network to improve the efficiency and reduce the impacts of deliveries in cities. This use of bikes instead of trucks and vans is common in many cities around the world and is beginning to take off in Canada.
