Abstract:

This paper presents information on cycle logistics (the use of bicycles and tricycles for last-mile urban freight delivery) in Rio de Janeiro. The authors first review literature on delivery of urban goods by bicycle and tricycle. They then describe the research design, and present the results of, an inventory and survey of businesses using cycle logistics in nine commercial centers of Rio de Janeiro. The authors then compare the practice of human-powered urban freight delivery in that city to current trends in bicycle and tricycle delivery in Europe and the North America. Finally, they outline a research agenda for human- powered urban freight delivery in Rio de Janeiro.
