“In times of disaster, bicycles provide resilient mobility for people, so that they can find food, water and other essential items that their families need in the immediate aftermath"

Find out more about the work of Bike Scouts or donate ➔ bikescoutsproject.org

👇

The group has stepped in to help in the aftermath of typhoons, volcanic eruptions, landslides, flooding and the pandemic.

Bike Scouts founder Myles Delfin points out that bikes are an important tool for those assisting disaster-affected communities AND enabling the affected to help themselves.

👇

That’s the basic idea behind Bike Scouts, a decentralised group that operates on the principle of 𝘣𝘢𝘺𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘩𝘢𝘯 – communal unity.

Volunteers, dispersed across The Philippines, act as bike-mounted first responders in their own communities.

And interestingly, although Vincent handles sales and brand at Larry vs Harry, OpenCargo is open to other brands too, including Copenhagen-based competitor Omnium.

If it goes ahead autobesity will be exported directly to Europe. Europe cannot sacrifice road safety for a trade deal.

More than 75 EU cities + civil society organisations have already signed an open letter to EU lawmakers. They're clear: The consequences for European road safety would be profound👇

➔ In Europe, strict safety regulations have helped achieve a 36% reduction in road deaths since 2010.
➔ In the US, road deaths have increased by 30% over the same period.

A proposed trade deal between the US and EU is currently on the table, and the EU has stated it intends to accept lower US vehicle standards as part of the agreement.

👇

Erik’s photos capture the extremes of American auto culture; but they're also a visual record of "autobesity"—the wider trend of vehicles becoming heavier, wider, and more dangerous. But while Big Dumb Trucks are a fixture of modern Americana, they also form a looming threat to European streets.

👇

As Erik Binggeser criss-crosses the US his cargo bike, he has documented a troubling phenomenon he calls "Big Dumb Trucks" — oversized, often modified SUVs and pickups that dominate the road and make even a heavy-duty cargo bike look like a toy.
