Pedal Me Pinky: Party on in Amsterdam

Haarlem Globetrotters

Here’s the plan. Three bikes, three riders, drinks, mixers and the Lionbeat sound system will ride from London to the ICBF at Haarlem in The Netherlands, this year combined with the World of eMobility expo.

Our colleagues will join them by Eurostar to collect 12 brand new Urban Arrow cargo bikes from their facility in Amsterdam – numbers 98-108 to date – attend the festival, then ride them home to London.

Why, you might ask? We are saving on carbon emissions, making a statement and bringing the party to the people, cleanly and efficiently. It’s the Pedal Me way.

We’ll be following every step of the way, from London to Harwich, a bit of ferry action, then on to the festival itself. Come along for the ride, on Twitter and Instagram – maybe TikTok if we can work it out…
