Hello! Time for an introduction from our blog! We are a worker-owned cooperative delivering by cargo bike in Edinburgh, that has been operating for around a year and a half. We are interested in fairer, better paid work for delivery workers, bicycles, worker owned cooperatives, bicycles, reclaiming public space from cars, social enterprises, bicycles, a less polluted and quieter Edinburgh, and bicycles.

We are looking for like minded people in Edinburgh, who want a better, more equal city that works for everyone, not just those who can afford or want a car. Also looking to connect with the many great projects and social enterprises in Edinburgh, apologies if we haven’t followed you (yet), it isn’t deliberate.

We are a diverse mix of mathematicians, scientists, and musicians. Reach out if you are interested in zero emissions deliveries, would like to get involved, or even just finding out more about our project.

  1. @deliveries used to carry around a Farr Out tote bag when they were colocated with CBM, where the Bike Station is now

    Reading that they were acqui-hired by Zedify when all that folded up. Is what you're doing something new, or is it partly a rump of people from Farr Out/CBM who were in it more for the social purpose than the logistics efficiency?

      Currently we are all either ex-Zedify employees or ex-CBM volunteers or both, but we are trying a new approach as a completely new cooperative. We have social aims, but also aim to be commercially competitive and not be reliant on grants or external funding for daily operations.
      So the short answer to your question is yes 🙂

        1. @deliveries @edi_dot_bike they're likely on your readership's radar already, but offer CADi a shoutout?

  2. @deliveries According to your profile page you joined mastodon in 'May 27'…

    1. @deliveries …or is that 27th May this year?

      'May 27' looks odd to me, but I think this must be a mastodon issue

        It’s 27th May this year, which is probably when the activitypub plugin was setup on our blog, but we have had various issues with it which we only resolved recently. Learning how to get it to work properly hasn’t been straightforward.

    I'm interested but not in Edinburgh – i run @keert.bsky.social on the Isle of Wight (and have a network of ultra low emissions folk I'm in touch with).

    Would love a chat somewhen

  4. @deliveries welcome to the fedi!
