    @DLSchichtl @Iron_Lynx of course there are things that can’t be delivered in bicycles and of course this only make sense with enough density.
    But density is a goal of urbanism.

    The places in the world that currently have success doing bicycle deliveries right now allow night time or off peak van/truck deliveries.
