Why are we hosting this event?
This is the very first time we’re opening up the Zedify depot, and we’re so excited to be doing so!
We are hosting this interactive event to empower women to consider cargo bike couriering as a flexible, rewarding career, but also just to be able to learn more about riding with confidence – all in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
We must stress that there’s no pressure or obligation to proceed with a job with Zedify. We just want you to enjoy the eve, meet some fab new people and improve your bike riding confidence!
Anything else is a bonus.
Who is the event for?
Perhaps you’re a student, a creative in your twenties, thirties, forties… a mum looking for flexible work, or a women looking to retire and needing something to keep you going? Becoming a cargo bike rider can be a great job for so many people, and could be the job for you. Even if you’re not looking for a job at the moment, this evening still has much to offer you.
Plenty of free refreshments will be available, and we will run our sessions over the course of the evening, so there’s opportunity to dip in and out.
You can visit Zedify’s Instagram here to get a flavour of the work Zedify does for some amazing clients, and follow us at Loud Mobility on Instagram to learn more about their efforts to raise the volume of joyful sustainable journeys.
