We have been involved in a great project during the Covid-19 outbreak.

We work closely with cycling advocacy and were made aware of a need for a Delivery Bicycle for our local Deep Roots Market Food Co-op located in Greensboro NC, near our store. 

We were quick to make available a Riese & Muller Packster 40 cargo electric pedal assist bicycle to the Deep Roots Market staff. 

The Cargo eBike was put into service immediately and has been making up to 10 or more deliveries per day, accumulating a few hundred miles already. It is stored at the Market and is charged up each night to be ready for duty each day.

The delivery service from Deep Roots Market has been highlighted in several News announcements. We are proud to be affiliated with this important service to protect customers during this unusual period in our history.

Here is a list of news items related to this:
