One of the most unique factors of XYZ CARGO is that began as a project by art and design activists. This versus the standard route of the corporate bicycle industrial complex.

XYZ CARGO was started in Copenhagen in 2011 by Urban Realm Art Collective N55 (in collaboration with Till Wolfer). They decided to use bicycles as a way of addressing aesthetic, ethical, social and environmental issues. They also wanted to work in a very direct way with public space and urban planning.

One of their aims was to develop an alternative small business, based on principles of fair and local production. Meaning that we try to produce as much as possible in a socially sustainable way.

XYZ CARGO UK is part of a network of local producers and distributors in a number of countries which you can find at their website www.xyzcargo.com.

N55 started in 1994 and works with art as part of everyday life.
