Delivered By Bike w/ Dave Edwards, COO of nrbi.co (video available)

Active Towns - Un podcast de John Simmerman

In this episode, I connect with Dave Edwards in Toronto, Canada for a discussion about his journey from an occasional recreational cyclist to a passionate advocate for everyday utilitarian riding and an executive with an electric cargo bike delivery company.Video version of this episodeCargo bikes are not new, but with advancements in electric-assist technologies, they are fast becoming a common feature for smartly dressed folks out on the town, for DIY types at the hardware store, for parents doing the school run, and increasingly for the delivery of your next order from the store across town or from a global online outlet.Dave Edwards needed a change in his life and in his career, the bicycle, specifically, the cargo bike was the answer he was searching for. He now serves as the Chief Operating Officer for nrbi (pronounced "nearby") a cargo bike delivery company in Toronto, Canada.Helpful Links (note that some may include affiliate links to help me support the channel):- nrbi website: https://www.nrbi.co/- Dave on Twitter: https://twitter.com/DaveLikesBikesFour Easy Steps to Support My Efforts:1.
