Named for its location in Copenhagen’s meat-packing district, Butchers & Bicycles is headed up by entrepreneurs Morten Wagener, Morten Mogensen and Jakob Munk.
In their stylish showroom and assembly shop, the three design-engineers hand build uncompromising cargo trikes with unique handling features and safety details.
“Although there are many obvious benefits of cargo bikes, as we know them, they have so far lagged the joy of cycling. We have set out to change that”.
So say the team behind one of the most exciting new brands to represent the unique bicycling culture of Copenhagen.
The first cargo trike from Butchers & Bicycles — simply called the Mk I – is for anyone who loves cycling. It challenges the perception of how fun and easy riding a cargo bike can be without compromising usability.
