A CLEVER SOLUTION VanMoof is a company in Holland which produces great city bikes. A few years ago, they were not making as much money as they had expected because a lot of their bikes got damaged while being transported to their clients. So, they decided to do something about it. The obvious solution was to use stronger boxes, but VanMoof came up with a cheaper idea. They realized that couriers are more careful when they deliver TVs. So VanMoof started to send their bikes in boxes which are the same size and shape as those used for very large TVs. Since the introduction of the new packaging last year, they no longer get so many complaints about damaged bikes.

TRANSFORM YOUR BIKE Have you heard about FUNBIKE stores? One of them is located on Magnolia Lane. You can take your standard bike there and it will be turned into an electric one for just a small part of the cost of a new electric bike. Mr Robin Hughes, a representative of FUNBIKE, says, “People are beginning to learn that the great thing about electric bikes is that you can choose to pedal yourself or use the motor when you get tired or the road is steep. Either way, you will become more active yourself, you will use your car less and do something good for the planet.”
