Who Are CADi Couriers?

CADi logo, reads CADi, carrying you to the finish line

CADi is a cooperative launched by two experienced cycle couriers. Our aims are to support local businesses and organisations, contribute to making Edinburgh a quieter, less polluted and more pleasant place, while at the same time offering an alternative to exploitative gig work that is the only option currently on offer for the majority of cycle couriers.

While bicycle couriers have existed in Edinburgh for a long time, CADi aims to expand the range and quantities of goods that are moved around Edinburgh, beyond what can fit inside a backpack or pannier bag. This makes CADi and Edinburgh Tool Library a perfect pairing to demonstrate what is possible.

Getting Your Tools Delivered

To begin with, CADi will be delivering from Meadowbank only, but our aim is to expand to new and existing branches of the tool library in the near future. Any member located in the core delivery area will be able to request their tools to be picked up from the tool library by cargo bike during our opening times and delivered to your home or work. And likewise, to have the same tools collected and returned to the tool library.

The highlighted area is centred on the St James Quarter and extends to the Newhaven coastline in the North, the Leith docks to the north east, the western edge of the Craigentinny golf course to the east, the southern edge of Holyrood Park and Prestonfield in the south, and Crewe Road North and Crewe Road South to the west. The delivery area also includes the Grange, Morningside, Merchiston and Fountainbridge to the south west.
