Benefits of Bikes

Speed of Service

Bicycles are particularly suited for urban transportation.


We can

  • Beat Congestion
  • Park extremely easily
  • Do not require major downtime for vehicle servicing or MOT's.


Traffic congestion and parking slowing you down?

No problem for cyclists, our service remains unaffected , unlike other Birmingham couriers.
Recent road closure incidents which have affected artertial and inner city roads within Birmingham quickly bought cars, vans, and other vehicles to a stand-still.
Our operations remained unaffected throughout these, again resulting in a more reliable service to our clients.

In a trial over a regular collection round, a cargo bike completed the work in half the time taken by a van (Evening Standard)
A basic bicycle can carry 30Kg and cargo bikes or trailers can carry 100Kg - even more on tricycles, and cargo bikes can roll in through doorways for unloading directly to the stockroom. 
Bikes offer the closest possible vehicular transport to walking for the door to door journey almost 100% of the time is spent getting from start to finish (rather than walking to the van/finding a place to park etc).

Environmental Considerations

 Road transport pumps out more than a fifth of UK emissions of carbon dioxide, the main gas causing climate change 
Birmingham Friends of the Earth
 In the West Midlands, the most significant source of atmospheric pollution is road traffic.  It accounts for 85% of emissions of oxides of Nitrogen and 75% of black smoke
Birmingham City Council Travelwise Pt 1
Bikes are an extremely sustainable method of transportation. Unlike cars, bikes are not lethal machines.

In the UK, over 3,000 people a year die on the roads due to car accidents.

An accident involving bikes may cause injury, but, very rarely will a bicycle be the cause of a fatal accident.


With significant benefits over exhaust fumes and having a minimal carbon footprint, Cycle 4 U can offer a quick response for your small goods transportation needs.
