TIL that Cambridge DPW has summer interns doing new street-tree watering with this cargobike. The intern I spoke to said that they’re upgrading to e-cargobikes soon.
I love this city.
The DPW cargobiking street tree intern team is back on my street right now, and it makes me so goddamn happy.
@bikepedantic yeah this rules
@bikepedantic Does that mean the city will be selling a used cargo bike 🤔
@bikepedantic If they do, it might show up here: https://www2.cambridgema.gov/purchasing/listBids.cfm?bidType=f
@bikepedantic honestly they should sell “The Works” merch
@Kevin Auction off a few excessed branded manhole covers, they'll pay off that Mass Ave bond
@Kevin @bikepedantic I'd buy the shit out of that
@mahhkk @bikepedantic I’m a simple man, I just want a sticker for my bright orange cargo bike
@bikepedantic are they just transporting hoses and stuff, or also moving water?
@enobacon hoses and stuff. I think they’re tapping hydrants for water
@bikepedantic maybe the DPW can make the street sweeping announcements with one of these instead of a plow truck?
@Ofsevit I dunno, bikes got enough bad rep around here. Watering trees is like the cantabrigian 10 Hail Marys
By the way, if Cambridge DPW doesn't paint their new fleet #cargobikes in their corporate "The Works" livery, then i retract everything nice I've ever said about them.
