Transport for London’s (TfL) first ever Cargo Bike Action Plan was launched at the National Cargo Bike Summit in Guildhall, London, at the end of March, marking a milestone for the growth of cargo bike cycling within the capital. Under the new action plan, TfL will work with councils, businesses and freight industries to transform how deliveries and servicing journeys are made within the capital, by promoting the growth of cargo bikes and associated infrastructure and addressing the barriers that inhibit or prevent a shift from vans to cargo bikes. TfL says the safe, clean and efficient functioning of freight in London is vitally important to the economy and a healthier and more sustainable city for all Londoners. The use of cargo...

Falco was delighted to sponsor local Football club, Leek Town, for its home match on Saturday 25th February as they took on mid table Trafford FC in the Northern Premier League Division One West league match at Harrison Park. The match kicked off on a crisp winter Saturday afternoon and The Blues knew this would be a tough game to keep any playoff hopes alive. A crowd of 471 saw the Leek Town side bounce back after conceding an early Trafford penalty at 15 minutes and second Trafford goal at 26 minutes to leave a half time result of Leek Town 1 – Trafford 2. A further Trafford goal at 53 minutes secured the victory for Trafford in a combative 3 –...
We are delighted that Falco’s HGV Driver, Simon Edge, has raised £320 for Cancer Research UK, by participating in the ‘100 Push Ups Challenge’ each day throughout November. The definitive bodyweight challenge is a real test of upper-body muscles, especially the chest, shoulders and triceps, which aims to complete 100 push ups a day, for a set period of time, which in Simons case, was every day throughout the month of November. Discussing the challenge, Simon explained “I just saw the challenge pop up on a social media site and it was not long after my Wife’s Aunty was diagnosed with terminal cancer. So, without really thinking about it, I signed up for the challenge with only 5 days to practice. After...
That time of year is upon us, the temperature is dropping and the snow is falling, fortunately that won’t stop us from accessing our bike hangar. Here is our quick guide to keep you cycling this winter: Frozen Bike Hangar Lock During the winter, when the temperature drops below zero, it is possible for water, dew or condensation to enter the lock mechanism and freeze. Locks and icy weather are not an ideal combination, as all locks, including infralocks (as used within our FalcoPod bike hangars), use complex mechanisms with springs, pins and bars. During our planned maintenance visits, we do complete certain preventative tasks ready for winter, but frozen locks can still occur.If your bike hangar lock is likely to be...
