Schokofahrt#4
Around 100 German and a few Austrian cyclists will come to our factory in Amsterdam-North with their cargo bikes from different parts of Germany to collect chocolate and cycle it back to Germany on 6 October. The idea of the Schokofahrt is to transport the organic chocolate, transported by the sailing ship Tres Hombres, to Germany completely free of emissions. They want to show that transport by bike is possible and at the same time connects people.
This is the fourth time the Schokofahrt has come to Chocolatemakers comes. As more and more people recognize the need for sustainable transportation, more and more cyclists and stores are joining this initiative.
Katelijne Boerma, Amsterdam's cycling mayor, welcomes the cyclists. I think this is a great initiative. It's great that inter-city cycling connections are being created by pioneering companies like Chocolatemakers. If you look at the crowds in our city, and the fact that cargo bikes offer a solution to make the city cleaner, more social, more accessible and safer for everyone, it's great to see that German cities are following suit and even making the connection.
This time, in addition to 12,000 Tres Hombres bars, the Schokofahrt participantswill also take the new Tres Hombres minis and the Choco Sails chocolate. The cocoa beans of this chocolate have been sailed from the Dominican Republic to the Netherlands by the sailing ship Tres Hombres and brought to the factory by carrier cycle. Chocolatemakers made delicious chocolate from these beans and the Schokofahrt transported them to Germany and Austria, so that this delicious chocolate is also available there completely free of emissions.

This weekend they are at our door again!
About 100 Germans and a few Austrians cycle with their cargo bikes from different parts of Germany to Chocolatemakers to pick up our organic Tres Hombres chocolate and cycle it back to Germany. The idea of the #Schokofahrt is to transport the organic chocolate to Germany completely free of emissions. The cocoa beans were shipped from the Dominican Republic to the Netherlands on the sailing ship Tres Hombres and transported to the factory on a cargo bicycle. We have made delicious chocolate from them and the Germans bring them home by carrier cycle.
