      I love how that clip has multiple shots of trucks absolutely full of boxes, while making the case for a vehicle that could fit inside the truck as it’s replacement.

        I think you just missed the point entirely. You don’t actually have to load up as many items in a cargo bike, because it’s inherent advantages in urban contexts more than makes up for its inability to load up as many items.

            They are spelled out clearly in the video:

            • Bicycle deliveries can utilize bicycle infrastructure and not get stuck in traffic
            • Bicycle deliveries can at times navigate around traffic
            • Bicycle deliveries have an easier time parking at the point of delivery
            • Bicycle deliveries for obvious reasons require less fuel
            • Bicycle deliveries require less capital cost, as their vehicles are cheaper than their counterparts
