If it would be useful, I’d like to volunteer myself and my Yuba Mundo to carry a load and join the choreographed cargo bike dance of transportland in the grand floral parade.
Craig
Craig, excellent. You are on the list of people to contact when things get moving in the summer. Thank you for the offer. We appreciate the willingness of everyone to further cargo bikes in Portland. We will have a Cargo Bike Roll Call in late Spring. Look for it. Sign up for the email feed to get updates.
Hi Travis
If things go according to plan I will be in Portland for June 2 and the parade. I probably won’t be able to bring down my Yuba Mundo, but if someone can scare up a cargo bike or trike I would be happy & thrilled to ride it with you in the parade. Could even bring along a Canadian flag to signify an international conspiracy of cargo bikes/bikers.
I organised and did a ride in our St. Patrick’s day parade up here in Vancouver, BC. Was riding a recumbent trike for that.
Ron Richings
Ron, I am sure there is a cargo bike somewhere in Portland you could borrow. Have you tried the usual suspects? I may have a Yuba for borrow; maybe.
Sign me (and the lady) up for a cargo bike parade! Are you thinking of the Starlight and/or Rose parades?
-John
John, email us Michael Hanna of Mattress Lot (delivery of mattresses by bike) mattresslot@comcast.net for more information on the Starlight Parade. Focus is on businesses that utilize cargo bikes and cargo hauling options. If you need, you can email us at trasportPDX@gmail.com
Just wondering whether this ever occurred?
Craig, it did. However, not to the extent that was hoped. We applied for the Grand Floral Parade. The entry is free if you are selected. We expected the idea to be whimsical enough for Portland and Portland’s love of cargo bikes, bikes, and local businesses. We were not selected.
In response, some local companies that utilize cargo bike created a Businesses By Bike group with an entry fee. They were in the Starlight Parade.
