It’s nice to see larger outlets talking about urbanism topics and Vox has made a few videos in this area recently.

The places in the world that currently have success doing bicycle deliveries right now allow night time or off peak van/truck deliveries.
Most deliveries are small packages, especially the deliveries that are time sensitive and so are ideal for cargo bike delivery.
