The Disaster Relief Trials are a community led event that brings together riders, volunteers and local organisations to explore how cargo bikes can support real world responses when things don’t go to plan.

The Bristol DRT is based on US events created by the legend Mike Cobb. The first DRT took place in Portland Oregon in 2012.

The event is built around a fictional disaster scenario, where infrastructure is disrupted and communities must respond with limited resources. Roads are blocked, power is unreliable and normal systems cannot be assumed. Riders, volunteers and organisers work together to move supplies, solve problems and make decisions under pressure.

its not all disaster, its also a great gathering of people with cargobikes as the common bond.

come along, ride, chat, drink, eat, have a nice time.
