Description

Alternativa Kuriren is a bicycle courier cooperative in Malmö. It conducts deliveries of small as well as large loads via cargo bikes. The collective was founded as a response to the working conditions in the sector experienced by the couriers. It is owned, controlled and operated by its members/workers. Sustainability is an important factor to the cooperative as only non-motorised transport is used.
