Video: Top Gear's The Stig rides cargo bike in London delivery challenge
Remember our story earlier this month about Top Gear’s The Stig filmed riding a cargo bike in Central London?
> Top Gear's The Stig spotted being filmed in London - on a cargo bike
Well, the finished film is out, and it features the man of mystery in the white racing driver’s suit and helmet racing another Stig – this one at the steering wheel of a delivery van – through the West End, dropping off parcels as they go.
The electric cargo bike being ridden from Netherlands-based Urban Arrow, which believes that increasing urbanisation will make them an essential means of moving goods around cities in the coming decades.
The company says that it chose London as the location for the challenge because it is “one of the worst – and most maddening – cities for bicycle infrastructure in the world.”
Look out for more about this challenge and the bike involved later on our sister site, eBikeTips.co.uk.

Yeah, to a degree, but all the parliamentarians are going to blame anyone else but themselves.
As I understand it, the Italian govt really are just >this close< to getting out their brown shirts and shiny black boots...
Indeed. Well, care to tells us "off the back" because I am.
Going by the MP's thought processes, he's lacking in the brain department.
Thanks. I'd noticed the different categories on the Cube website, but hadn't realised they link to specific industry standards, I just assumed it...
It would be unfortunate were he to return to his car on Friday afternoon to find it had four flat tyres.
I think it reads that the bobby 'can't be sacked', I'm sure there's some HR reason for this but I'm jiggered if I know it.
I used to work on motorway and trunk road improvement schemes. Road casualty statistics are used to identify locations for improvements,...
