I know I like to show how much stuff you can carry on a cargo bike, but for balance, here’s how much shopping you can carry on any normal bicycle with just one pannier.

Millions of these bicycles are in sheds around the country, ready and waiting to rejuvenate our high streets.

We can quickly change how we use our town centres, including safe active travel infra, stopping them becoming through roads and adding better bike parking and places to sit. If we do this, most can reap the rewards from increased custom from active travel users according to data.

I was shopping while hungry so bought an unplanned pizza base and some crisps; I carried these in a carrier bag because of their awkward size.

You could double capacity by just adding one extra pannier. Or in case you’re interested, this is normally how I do a big shop by bike.
