You just ban the most common forms of car throughput. Moving vans would be allowed.

- Someone 7y agoYou can also move most, if not all, furniture that fits through a house’s door or elevator on a small electric van or even a (three-wheeled) bicycle. Electric vans also could be the preferred method of supplying shops with goods. That need not be much more expensive if containers can be moved from larger vans onto such smaller vans at city boundaries. If you have furniture that’s so large that you have to hoist it up and get it into the building through a window, you likely already need a permit to use the device that hoists up the furniture.

Where I’m from there’s a tradition in the bike community called a “bike move”. When you’re moving, you invite everybody to show up on a certain day with their trailers and cargo bikes. Everybody packs and moves you in a distributed manner! All you have to do is provide coffee and donuts in the morning and pizza and beer for after. Fun, community-building way to move.
- mandelbrotwurst 7y agoThat sounds awesome. Are you in Oregon? Edit: Ah, I see your username now =)
- qmmmur 7y agoHow? I can't feasibly imagine balancing my UK queen in a bicycle.
- foxyv 7y agoIf you strap the mattress to the box spring to stiffen the mattress you can set it on its edge and it won't sag. Then just set the box spring and the mattress on a flat bed bike trailer and you are good to go. They make trailers like this for big and heavy stuff: https://www.bikesatwork.com/bike-trailers https://www.bikesatwork.com/bike-trailers
- qmmmur 7y agoOkay, I would consider transporting a mattress on a bike (with a trailer) easy, not just a bike!
