Waitrose has begun using “eco-bicycles” and trailers to deliver shopping to its online customers.
 The retailer’s branch in Cambridge started using the bicycles this week.
The move is designed to increase the number of delivery slots available without adding to the number of vans on the road.
The specially designed trailer can hold six trays full of groceries and keeps products chilled or frozen for up to two hours.
The bicycles come with electronic pedal assistance.
Retail director Tony Solomons said the Waitrose would look to extend the scheme to other branches if it proved successful.
