About Pedal Me
Pedal Me is an e-cargo bike logistics company in London. The company was founded in 2017 by Benjamin Knowles, a transport planner, Rob Sargent, an astrophysicist and technologist, and Chris Dixon, a National Standards Instructor for Cycling. The company normally operates within 9 miles of Central London, using bikes built by Urban Arrow in the Netherlands. The company offers cargo deliveries, which have significantly outstripped the number of journeys carrying passengers. In a trial run by TfL, the company's riders dropped off construction materials from Wood Green to Whitechapel faster than a van.
