Cargo Bike Library
The Green Living Centre’s Cargo Bike Library contains a fleet of specialist cargo bikes and trailers to allow cyclists to carry things that might otherwise require a car – from shopping, to kids, household items and more. You can test ride them all.
The Green Living Centre is an initiative of the City of Sydney and Marrickville Councils. The Cargo Bike Library is supported by BIKESydney.
