Last weekend, the Spoorzone in Zwolle was all about speed, power and smart logistics. During the Dutch cycling courier championships, it was not only about who could cycle the fastest, but also who could make the most strategic choices. The event provided a great opportunity to celebrate and raise awareness of the art of bicycle courier. PENDLR was proud to be present as a sponsor and was delighted to contribute to this inspiring day, which surely also had a local flavour for us.

The day in a nutshell

The event started with the first challenges for the participants: with full speed and heavy loads, they had to collect and deliver stamps and parcels to the various stamping posts scattered around the course. For two hours, the bicycle couriers had to not only pedal hard, but also think quickly and accurately. The routes were a real brainteaser, involving not only speed, but also smart calculation and logistical efficiency.

After this warm-up, the intensity was further turned up during the ‘main race.’ In this, participants competed for no less than three hours to transport their parcels as efficiently as possible past the various stamping points. The combination of physical exertion and strategic insight made the competition extra challenging. It was impressive to see how all participants managed to find this balance.

Why PENDLR sponsored this event

As PENDLR, we were present not only as a proud sponsor, but also with a stand to strengthen our presence in the micromobility sector. We believe that our vision to be the partner of choice in micromobility is perfectly aligned with the transport market, and this event was the ideal opportunity to further promote this promise.

After all, this market offers huge opportunities. Cycling with heavy loads through busy urban areas requires innovative mobility solutions, and this is precisely where we as PENDLR can make a difference. We see the cargo market growing rapidly and becoming increasingly important in the way cities deal with logistics, sustainability and efficiency. We have therefore already taken very nice steps, for example in our collaboration with Yeply, to respond to this, you can read more about that here.

Our role in the bicycle courier market

At PENDLR, we want to make everyday travel not only more flexible, efficient and greener, but also future-proof. This certainly also applies to freight transport in and around cities, where the need for fast, reliable and environmentally friendly solutions is constantly growing. Whether delivering small parcels or heavy loads, we understand that a bicycle courier's success depends on the quality and reliability of his bicycle.

That's why at PENDLR, we offer everything a courier needs to perform optimally every day. Of course, the most important thing is that the bike is always in top condition, and we provide a wide range of parts and accessories for that.

Let's work together for a smooth ride for all bicycle couriers!
