What’s grabbed your attention at Eurobike?
Gert-Jan van Breugel, Modyn
Managing Director, Netherlands
I would say the massive amount of cargo bikes. Last year it was already a trend, but it looks like every brand now has a longtail or something in the cargo segment, carrying kids, or carrying groceries. Very interesting to see how that develops and if it’s also picked up by the consumers. That’s for sure something to look out for. What also strikes me is that we’re also exploring different frame technologies, in terms of aluminum extrusion, we’re looking at sheet metal, carbon plastic. There will be more options for consumers in the future.

I think this bike here (pictured) is quite amazing. It’s an add-on bike. You can transform it – if you have an old bike, you can make it into a cargo bike. I also like this slogan on the frame: “upgrade, don’t replace.” Every time you want somebody to buy a new bike, you should be asking, why don’t you use the one you have? This product makes that possible. I’m a consultant for people who own shops, I give them good advice. I think I’ll put this one on the list.
