He is a very friendly and invited our group into his showroom in Cambridge where we got to take a close look at his New Amsterdam Project human powered cargo carriers... They are really quite amazing. Since meeting him, I have seen them in action on the streets of Cambridge and I am very impressed.</P>

<P>It is a great concept, and I am trying to get my office to consider for our occational local shipping needs. If you or someone you know makes local shipments, please consider going to this event or getting in touch with New Amsterdam Project <A href="http://www.newamsterdamproject.com">www.newamsterdamproject.com</A> </P>

(Tonight)<BR><BR>The New Amsterdam Project: Human powered cargo trikes; paving the way <BR>for sustainable delivery services<BR>Tue. Apr. 29, 7 - 8:30 pm<BR>by Andrew Brown, founder and CEO of the New Amsterdam Project<BR><BR>@ LivableStreets office space, 100 Sidney Street, Central Square, <BR>Cambridge [ map... ]<BR><BR>free and open to the public, donation suggested, beer/sodas provided <BR>compliments of Harpoon Brewery!<BR><BR>We invite you to attend, learn & be inspired by the recently launched, <BR>Cambridge-based
bicycle delivery service, the New Amsterdam Project <BR>(NAP). NAP provides human-powered pick-up and delivery services for <BR>local businesses, organizations and universities. Founder and CEO, <BR>Andrew Brown will be discussing the inspiration behind the cargo-trike <BR>fleet and how the company will transform the Boston metro area.<BR><BR>When it comes to urban delivery services, the New Amsterdam Project's <BR>fleet of human-powered trikes is quickly becoming a strong competitor to <BR>conventional vans and trucks. Thanks to their compact design, these <BR>cargo vehicles --which accommodate up to 600 lbs.-- can easily navigate <BR>urban congestion and require a fraction of the space otherwise needed <BR>for parking/ delivery by a car, van or truck. And, as a zero-emissions <BR>transportation service; the NAP is able to offer clients and their <BR>communities an environmentally sound alternative for their <BR>transportation needs. Their clients
include: Boston Organics, Taza <BR>Chocolate, Petsi Pies, and many others.<BR><BR>The New Amsterdam project was recently featured in a Christian Science <BR>monitor article: "Cargo trikes nudge delivery trucks in Cambridge, <BR>Mass.; A Cambridge, Mass., delivery company is using industrial <BR>tricycles to deliver goods in efforts to curb global emissions."
