Cargo Bikes Beat Vans for Deliveries

Electric cargo bikes deliver about 60% faster than vans in city centres, according to a study. It found that bikes had a higher average speed and dropped off 10 parcels an hour, compared with six for vans.

I don't know if they would get stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic; that seems to defeat the purpose of reducing congestion, but at least reduces pollution.
