CAN Cargo Bike
Shared transport for a circular arts community
The CAN Cargo Bike is available to help artists, organisations, and community groups move materials, equipment, and resources around the city without relying on a car or van.
If you’re collecting materials from the CAN Reuse Hub, donating or moving larger items claimed on CAN, the cargo bike offers a practical low-carbon alternative.
The bike has been made available through our partnership with the Scottish Contemporary Art Network (SCAN) and forms part of our wider work supporting circularity and resource sharing across the arts sector.
