"It's time to replace urban delivery vans" [6:19 min]

E-bikes are cleaner, and safer. So why aren’t we using them?
Remember during lockdown, how we all got obsessed with ordering everything online and having it delivered right to our doorsteps? Yeah, turns out that isn’t going away anytime soon, and we’re starting to understand the many downsides. The delivery vans that make our next-day shipping dreams come true are driving up C02 emissions while making our streets more crowded and less safe.
Fortunately, there’s a hero waiting in the wings: the e-cargo bike. Not only can these bad boys deliver packages in urban environments just as quickly (and sometimes faster) than delivery vans, they take up far less space and are much less likely to cause pedestrian deaths. Companies like Amazon, DHL, and UPS are using them in several European cities, but American cities haven’t followed suit.
In this video, we explore why that is, and lay out some of the big steps American cities would need to take to join the e-bike delivery revolution."

Sooooooooo f**king tired of ordering from Amazon & if they DARE ship it through Colis Prive, half the time it goes missing or appears days later -- like a week later. 😡 There are ZERO local stores who stock the items we order from Amazon.

We trust La Poste here in semi-rural France & have never had any issues with them or their reliability. But Colis Prive? Funny how the expensive things are always, always what disappears into thin air. 🤬

Tuesday:
Email - Your item will be delivered by 8pm today. Tracking showed it gradually getting closer.

9:00pm:
Tracking says yeah nah. Maybe Thursday.

Wednesday :
Email - Your item will be delivered by 8pm today. Tracking suggests it's further away than it was on Tuesday, but gradually getting closer. 🤷

Come on, man, don't tease me like this!
