What Is The Collective Noun For Pedivans?
I took these pictures yesterday at the junction of Moorgate and London Wall.
Here’s what Google AI says on the subject.
I got nowhere with “What Is The Collective Noun For Pedivans?”
But “What Is The Collective Noun For Cargo Bikes?” gave this answer.
While there is no single official dictionary definition, several creative and descriptive terms are used for a group of cargo bikes, with the most popular being a cargo collective.
Other popular suggestions from cargo bike enthusiasts include:
A “Quiver” of Urban Arrows: A play on words referring to the popular “Urban Arrow” brand.
A “Bakfiets” Generation/Showpiece: Often used to describe the large number of box-bikes in the Netherlands, as bakfiets means “box bike”.
A “Swarm” of Family Cyclists: Frequently used when many families are riding together, such as at a school drop-off.
A “Dazzle” or “Gaggle”: Sometimes used to describe the sight of several cargo bikes parked together.
The term “cargo collective” is often used to describe community groups of cargo bike users, such as in London.
Cargo Collective would fit what I saw.
British Land Plans Underground London Logistics Hub
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on Construction Enquirer.
This is the sub-title to the article.
British Land is planning to create an underground low-carbon logistics hub in central London.
Note.
- The former Crossrail box works site beneath Kingdom Street in Paddington is being turned into the logistics hub.
- The site was returned to British Land’s ownership when the Elizabeth Line opened.
- There will be a 13-storey office above the box.
- The 21-storey office at the Five Kingdom Street site has been reduced to seven storeys, to meet today’s expectations for environmentally-sustainable design and occupier wellbeing.
- The urban logistics hub would facilitate deliveries within Westminster using electric vehicles and cargo bikes
It looks to me, that this logistics hub has similar aims and objectives, to British Land’s other planned hub, that I wrote about in Finsbury Square Car Park Becomes British Land Hub For Delivery Drivers.
Conclusion
British Land seem to have a plan to develop low carbon logistics hubs.
