Was ist ein „Freies Lastenrad“?

1. is provided to society based on voluntary donations.
2. is a „common good“: to be shared with the community instead of individually owned.
3. is advocating for a change in urban transportation, and stands for sustainable mobility.
4. promotes neighborhood cooperation: Cafés, private citizens and social facilities are involved and act as pickup locations.

What´s the "Forum Freie Lastenräder" (Union of commons cargobike initiatives)
