Cycling Sparks

Tomorrow our 4th annual Cargo Bike Cruise with MP Smarter Travel will set off from outside TLB HQ at 3PM, with a record number of 80 bikes set to join the ride! Cargo bikes have transformed freight transportation in London. What once was seen as a novelty is now a mainstream, eco-friendly, and efficient way to move everything from laundry to legal documents. We've see this transition first hand in London Bridge through our #BikesforBusinesss project, with over 200 businesses embracing pedal powered deliveries since the project began in 2019. Give us a wave and help us celebrate the businesses and organisations committed to making London a more sustainable, healthy place to live and work! #bikesforbusiness CARRYME BIKES C.I.C., CityQ - Downsizing a car into a tech ebike, Cityshuttle, CROL & CO, Cycling Sparks, Delivery Mates, ecofleet UK, EAV, fettle, Fix Your Cycle, Flying Dutchman Bikes, Freddie's Flowers, ICENI CYCLES LIMITED, Impact on Urban Health, Laundryheap, London GreenCity Man Maid, Mango Couriers Limited, Peddle My Wheels/OurBike, Pashley Cycles, Pedal Me, PEMPEOPLE LTD, Plumbheat Services, The Dalston Egg Shop, Under One Sky, Velocity, Veluba®, Vok Bikes, Westminster Wheels, Zedify and Zhero .

Things can happen between the time an item gets PAT tested. Don't just rely on a sticker to prevent you coming to harm. On further inspection of the area where the hob was being used, I found another one in use and pan left very close to it. This appeared to be the cause of the damage. Bit of thought about how the item was being used could have prevented the appliance being damaged damage. Accidents happen, a bit of forethought can prevent them. #safety #electricalsafety #electricaltesting #healthandsaftey #firesafety #kitchen #staff #office #appliances #stickers #accidents

What have my experiences with carbon in construction and what I think manufacturers need to do next.  #constructionindustry #carbon #climatechangesolutions #netzerocarbon#electricalservices #electrician #trades https://lnkd.in/efqX9ek6

Another fantastic visit and more fascinating insights as we recently welcomed Aaron Fleming-Saheed of Cycling Sparks to Metpro. Operating within London and having ditched the van for e-cargo bikes, Aaron and his team are revolutionising the industry as they aim to do things differently and better, all with a significantly reduced carbon footprint. It was great to sit down and understand why Aaron decided to do this, his goals for the future, his views on the climate crisis within construction, and much more. We’ll be sharing the first clip from our discussion very soon, so watch this space for more information…

Photoshoot and a staff night out! Can’t say too much just yet but we've been on a photo shoot over the past two days which as electricians, is not a key part of our training, but we managed 😉 I think you can safely say we are pretty visible when we're out and about these days also. Crew were great, very easy to get on with and they shouted us a fantastic night out at Roast in Borough Market after which was superb. #photography #tradespeople #commercialelectrician #domesticelectrician #mobileelectrician #London #cycling #cyclinglife #buisness #ecargo #trailblazers #buisnessgrowth #original #brand

We got an award! Roxane Hackwood and the good people Sustrans saw fit to give us Sustainability Leader 2023. Can't say I ever thought about getting awards when I first started so this is really means a lot coming from an organisation that's as important as they are. It's a tough time for anyone trying to lower carbon emissions.  There isn't a lot of support or encouragement from higher levels and there are sectors working very hard to keep the status quo the same as it has been for the past 30 plus years. But it's crucial to drown out the noise and to keep pushing on with reducing emissions how ever you're doing it. We have a lot of time....and people to make up for. Don't let their failures be yours. #cyclingsparks #awards2023 #sustainability #leadership #sustainableconstruction #electrician #lowcarbon #cleanair #future #sparkingchange

Just a couple of shots of The Low Country bar in #oldstreet where we installed lighting and power over the Spring utilising a mixture of Lucent Lighting Ltdand LedsC4 fittings with screwless matt black finish Knightsbridge - M L Accessories sockets for discrete power points. I can highly recommend the Fat Fashioned (their version of a Old Fashioned). And seeing that owner and manager Ryan Sheehan owes me a few favours, I'm sure I'll be able to recommend a few more down the line. #electrical #commercialelectricians #design #LED #lighting #foodanddrink#bar #oldstreet #London #ecargo #sparkys
