A fledgling local group that has come together to promote cargo bikes is working hard to nab a spot in the upcoming Rose Festival Grand Floral Parade.
Transportland (say transport – land), is a new group founded by cargo bike enthusiast Travis Wittwer. Wittwer has corralled an impressive list of local, cargo-bike based businesses and has filed an official application with Rose Festival organizers.
