Sustainable solutions in Görlitz: The boom of the cargo bikes

In times when the environmental impact of traffic is increasingly focusing on, Sven Dornbusch succeeds in offering an innovative solution. The 29-year-old has become self-employed as a cargo bike courier in Görlitz and transports various objects up to 150 kilos, sometimes even up to 200 kilos, environmentally friendly through the city.
The way to independence
Sven Dornbusch, who also works as a paver, registered a small business to combine his passion for cycling. "I thought about how I can earn money by bike," he says. It was this consideration that made him acquire a used bicycle trailer for 3,000 euros and thus offer transports for people in Görlitz who either do not want to have a car or want to transport things that do not fit into their vehicle. He makes sales with a fair price of six euros for local transports, which increases slightly when it comes to further routes.
customers and service
Dornbusch's customers appreciate the uncomplicated way to transport large and bulky objects. According to his previous experience, the transports included plasterboard, washing machines and even rain barrels, which could be easily accommodated thanks to the flexibility of his trailer. Dornbusch specializes in the delivery of materials from hardware stores and emphasizes how its offer enables people to rely less on the car.
challenges in transportation
Although Dornbusch cannot offer passenger transport despite his innovative approach, there are important concerns about the transport of children on cargo bikes. A current study of accident research by the insurers points out that many cargo bikes are not sufficiently suitable for the safe transport of children. This discussion illuminates the challenges that other cargo cyclists also face.
The vision for the future
Sven Dornbusch is determined to expand his business and is currently looking for new business partners in Görlitz. The idea of taking on regular transports for clinics, pharmacies and restaurants would not only increase its reach, but could also help other people in the region to operate sustainably. "The need is there," says Dornbusch, "I hope that we can do this soon." To ensure that every transport runs smoothly, he always brings three out of six batteries to ensure that the electricity does not run out on the way.
FAZIT
With his cargo bike courier service, Sven Dornbusch brings fresh wind into the transport offer in Görlitz. Due to his sustainable business idea, he contributed to the promotion of environmentally friendly transport solutions in the city. The trend on cargo bikes in urban areas can promote a sustainable lifestyle and at the same time support the local community.
