Buying a bike from RUB. Its easy, you just have to ask and i’ll do the rest.
If you want to buy a cargobike, i find the most accurate and personal way of doing it is to tell me what you want, and i’ll give you a price and when its available.
i’ll will give you an all in price, inc accessories, a slow and careful bike build up (they tend to come in boxes in bits,) all software updates and accessories fitted…bikes come with one year free servicing (you just pay parts) and two weeks of insurance, i’ll price match where possible, try to build your bike better than anyone and will spoil you a little if i can,
Once package is agreed and payment taken i will order (if not in stock) and gather all your parts and accessories together, and keep you informed on progress. one point of contact…me…..
for payment we take cash, card, BACs, i use cycle to work schemes and occasionally do part exchanges,
i sometimes deliver, always excited to supply people with a cargobike so let me know what you want, i’ll do my best to make it happen in the nicest package possible. Rob

if you can’t find a frame number it will be on the software in the motor, get a printout of the service sheet and it will be on there…the seller can get this printout from any Good Bosch accredited service centre. (we can do it for them/you) then put the number into the database below, or let us know and we can check with Urban Arrow..

The politics of cycling infrastructure.This book offers a critical examination of existing cycling structures and the current policy and practices used to promote cycling. An international range of contributors provide an interdisciplinary analysis of the complex cultural politics of infrastructural provision and interrogate the pervasive bias against cyclists in city planning and transport systems across the globe. Infrastructural planning is revealed to be an intensely political act and its meaning variable according to larger political processes and contexts. The book also considers questions surrounding safety and risk, urban space wars and sustainable futures, connecting this to broader questions about citizenship and justice in contemporary cities.

DRIVE, A decade of change of cargobike. Urban Arrow As a tribute to our products and community of ‘owners & riders’ over the past decade, Urban Arrow has published a unique item: ‘Drive Change / A Decade of Cargo Bikes’ is our anniversary book, filled with stories and contents from, by and for our community and for those who are not yet directly part of it but are interested in ‘smart urban mobility’. In short, the book describes Urban Arrow’s past, present and future. A limited edition of 100 copiesIn Roads Were Not Built for Cars, Carlton Reid reveals the pivotal—and largely unrecognized—role that bicyclists played in the development of modern roadways. Reid introduces readers to cycling personalities, such as Henry Ford, and the cycling advocacy groups that influenced early road improvements, literally paving the way for the motor car. When the bicycle morphed from the vehicle of rich transport progressives in the 1890s to the "poor man's transport" in the 1920s, some cyclists became ardent motorists and were all too happy to forget their cycling roots. But, Reid explains, many motor pioneers continued cycling, celebrating the shared links between transport modes that are now seen as worlds apart. In this engaging and meticulously researched book, Carlton Reid encourages us all to celebrate those links once again.
