Faster
Unlike the classic utility vehicle, the bicycle is much faster than the car (over a distance of less than 5km), especially during rush hours. In addition, the bike is very maneuverable and maneuvers easily. The car is subject to the vagaries of traffic. As a result, the average speed of a bicycle in the city is 15 km/h, compared to 14 km/h for the car.
More practical
The major disadvantage of the car is the difficulty of parking. A study shows that on average, motorists spend 40 minutes per day looking for a place to park. It's only 2 minutes for cyclists.
More economical
The biggest expenses for a utility vehicle are: gas, maintenance and parking. This represents an average budget of €30,000/year. For the bicycle, its cost of use is divided by 100! (300€/year: no insurance, no gas, etc.)
Good for health
It’s no longer a secret that practicing regular physical activity is strongly recommended for your health. With the city lifestyle, it is not easy to find the time and motivation to practice a sporting activity. This is why replacing your utility vehicle with a cargo bike allows you to maintain regular physical activity and do good for your body and mind.
