All a husband wants is a cargo bike, guys.

Cross your fingers, send good karma, oil that chain, positive vibes... A couple of weeks left to find out on emoji submissions and if #CargoBikeEmoji has made it through. (Quietly optimistic but grounded in that there are a LOT of proposals each year and Unicode has strict guidelines)

"𝑰 𝒉𝒐𝒑𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒔 𝒂 𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒕, 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅" It's a year since devastating flash floods hit Valencia. Community responders on cargo bikes stepped in to deliver aid, challenging conventional notions of urban mobility in the process. 👇

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.com

WARNING: Extended use leads to urbanist activism #bunchmom #cargobike #bunchfam

A cargo ebike can haul your regular errand's worth of stuff, but take up much less space than a car. We've allowed corporate greed and false conveniences to trap us with such an inefficient form of transportation

Some great coverage of some really interesting UKRI-funded research here. As someone who is already an e-cargo bike user (they're great) and as someone interested in how people and technologies interact, this is really up my street. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ0K...

“We need to start considering the role of care in our daily lives—all the unpaid tasks that are the essential foundation of society, and our economy couldn’t function without them. But cities are so focused on the commute to work they forget about the mobility of care.” biketalk.org/2025/10/2542...

"e-cargo bike citizenship".. yes I like this concept... Can I have this in my passport please?

Genie: “You’ve used two of your three wishes wisely, what is your last desire?” Me: “Ok I know it’s niche but, can you start an underground nighttime bakfiets racing club and fill it full of cool new friends?” Genie: “Hell ya, that sounds sick”

I had a dream last night that someone stole all the baskets and doodads off of my cargo bike. When I got on to ride it home it was like I was on a rocket bike zooming around the city. The wind howled past me. Passing cars looked like streaks of light. It was glorious.

Taking another load to storage by cargo bike! No truck required! It's fun to hear people's reactions when they see how capable a bicycle is to move large loads. Carla Cargo trailer FTW! #Micromobility #LastMile #CarlaCargo #CargoBike #CargoTrailer #Freight #Bicycle #Moving #Storage #truck #Cargo

Not only can many fewer trips be made by car with an e-cargo bike, but they're much smaller and easier to store than any car. Many two-car families could easily become one-car-one-ecargo-bike families

Ok, we are into Oct and we will find out by the end of Nov, how the #CargoBikeEmoji submission v2 has gone... It's getting close! Cross fingers, toes, anything and everything!

Our Josh’s video of his Rwanda bikepacking trip is now up. It contains a great many shots of cargo bike use in this hilly African nation. youtu.be/HLYsTom6QNc?...

Ebikes are magical. Cargo bikes are magical. Put them together and you have one of the most powerful ways to decarbonise our cities and make them safer, quieter, cleaner and so much more FUN.

"Sit down, enjoy the show" almost a mantra for cargo bikes...

My other car is a cargo bike

The best vehicle for hitting up the neighborhood hardware store is a cargo bike.

Always looking for cargo bike in TV series and films (especially in US culture), here's one I hadn't seen till now. Ice cream cargo trike in Breaking Bad' ... being used for wholesome purposes! #CargoBikeEmoji

I didn't do any advocacy here on the platform today, but I did go to the grocery store on my cargo bike and got asked a ton of questions by a nice couple who were sitting outside the store. We wound up talking for 10 minutes and it was a lovely experience.

The amount of cargo bikes there are in Amsterdam now is astounding

👇👍

First time I see this: cargo bikes outnumbered cars at after-school pickup. 5 bike arriving almost at the same time to pick up 8 kids. The weather helped, but the shift feels real.

Trending upwards 💪 #DecadeOfTheCargoBike This is why we need a #CargoBikeEmoji 🙏

👏👏👏

Context of the challenge of creating new emojis...

If your child is in KS2, you might get an email from school this year about Bikeability. 🚲 We’ve written a parent’s guide that explains everything you need to know. 👉 www.cyclesprog.co.uk/everyday-cyc... #Bikeability #KidicalMass #BikeBus

Status update? Proposals for emojis submitted in 2025 will be funding out how they fared over the coming weeks and months. Still hopeful 🙏 🚲 + 📦 = #CargoBikeEmoji

Sending big love to the lady who rode by me and my dog on our cargo bike today and shouted "THATS WHAT I NEED!"

Cargo bikes everywhere

We biked to Powderhorn via 40th St to get dinner tonight. 75% of the bikes we saw (9 of 12) on our quick ride were e cargo bikes, not including the 2 we were on. Cargo bikes are car replacers and I’m so excited to see more people embracing bikes for transportation. It benefits all of us! 🚲 ❤️

The affordability of car-light living: "American households – maybe not most of them, but a significant percentage of them – have the opportunity to dump one of their cars and save a bunch of money." Urbanists should hammer away at this point, noting how e-bikes/cargo bikes make it easier.

#CargoBikeEmoji update Submissions for 2025 into Unicode are now officially closed. The waiting game begins for notification of whether the proposal for a cargo bike emoji was successful or not... Stay tuned. ⌛😳

Chef Morten Kryger Wulff guides tourists through Copenhagen by bicycle, then cooks a gourmet meal using the tiny kitchen built onto his cargo bike. He calls the concept #Cykelkokken — or bicycle cooking. www.dw.com/en/cykelkokk...

Awesome. Need a series titled: "Comedians on cargo bikes getting coffee" 😂🚲📦☕

Happy #WorldEmojiDay 📅 Here's to all the #emoji you have used, all the emoji you haven't used yet and the new emojis to come... Hopefully #CargoBikeEmoji A refuse cargo bike from Croatia. Mini garbage bin slots straight onto frame!
