Team Velove wins Cargo Bike of the Year award at ICBF 2019 in Groningen.
The International Cargo Bike Festival (ICBF) recently announced that their 2022 event will be held October 27-29 as they’re teaming up with World of eMobility, a hybrid B2B/ B2C trade show. The new collaborative event will be held between Amsterdam and Haarlem near Schiphol Airport at the EXPO Haarlemmermeer venue, a huge glass structure with space for exhibition stands, an indoor test track and conference facilities.
We caught up with ICBF founder Jos Sluijsmans and his business partner Tom Parr for a look back at their amazing journey, their take on the evolution of cycling in Europe and abroad, and how their dreams for the humble cargo bike are now being realized. < 24 > SPRING 2022 eBIKES INTERNATIONAL

Back in 2019, ICBF welcomed the new year with a bold declaration that the next 10 years would be the #decadeofthecargobike. Pundits lauded the announcement, and soon after, Covid-19 catapulted both bicycles and cargo bikes into the limelight, as cycling rapidly became a zero-carbon mobility solution beyond compare.
