Abstract [en]

Cycle logistics services have emerged across Europa as a sustainable solution for delivering goods, aiming to mitigate emissions, and noise pollution, and enhance urban quality of life. Malme, with its favorable geography as a danse, flat, medium-sized city, has seen numerous initiatives with various forms of cycle logistics operations du ring the past decade. Drawing from interviews with cycle logistics and courier companies in Malme, we investigate the inherent tensions between their business practices and sustainability perspectives. We explore thereby applications of cycle logistics between traditional cycling rooted in local and alternative economic models, and cycling logistics as "the last mile", integrated in a longer logistical chain of commerce, aligned with economic growth imperatives. Placing our work within the debates around degrowth, automobility, and velomobility, we contribute to understanding the complex dynamics between cycling, sustainability, and economic interests, urging for a nuanced approach that considers both speed, efficiency, and the local effects of cycle logistics.
