I was surprised to read Adrian Chiles’s takedown of cargo bikes (£3,999 for a cargo bike?! How a new kind of class politics arrived on Britain’s streets, 16 March). His article misses the urgent need to clean our air and free up our roads.
I’m a happy diesel-van-liberated, e-cargo bike user. I use it to get to almost all my jobs as a plumber in London. I carry the tools I need with me and can strap a ladder on.
