Georgios Farfaras is from Tripoli Greece and rides a Christiania E-Tricycle to promote cargo bikes and family cycling tourism in Greece. Here is his story:

For what tasks do you use your cargo bike?

Bringing goods from the market, carry tools for urban gardening, carry kids to school or parties, leisure travelling!!! I use it in my work, for delivering bicycles, cycling with advertisement posters too!!!

I love my cargo bike because…

It makes me feel more free to move almost everywhere with almost no cost!!!

Georgios Farfaras promote cargo bikes and family cycling tourism in Greece. 

Why did you decide to buy a cargo bike?

For promoting cargo bikes and family cycling tourism in Greece.

Describe your cargo bike experience with one word:

Freedom

Did you have to overcome any initial challenges?

I am still surprised by the looks of people staring at me with so many different emotions, since they have never seen such a bike on their streets!!!

Do you feel you and your cargo bike are making an impact on society? If so, explain.

It is not a feeling, it is a sure conclusion, after all these people I met in the streets. Kids love it and ask their parents to buy such a bike for their family, women love it for cycling safely to the market, men always mentioned how useful could be!!!

What could your city do to improve the “cargobike-ability” of your city?

A lot, staring with the basic, to understand that cycling is not only for sports and fun, but also for transport and logistics. My city has not even a cycle path, just some parking stands, that is all! There is no cycling policy at all!
