Lee Craigie and Jenny Graham reckons it's possible in under a week. Edinburgh to Copenhagen by cargo bike.
One pedalling and one resting. Swap and repeat. Two teams.

Cycling at 7.3mph at 11pm towards Germany.
Had punctures earlier in day.
So pretty amazing effort cycling unpowered cargo bikes with one person as 'luggage'.
They have a hot water bottle called Marvin with them!
Suppose everyone expects they'll make it to Copenhagen by 1st but still to get past halfway. Tracking is addictive.Posted 4 years ago # -
Lee, Jenny and their co-riders have now gone through south of Hamburg and are in lower part of Schleswig Holstein en route to the ferry at Puttgarden.
Their double weight, unpowered cargo bikes have been moving night and day it seems!Rarely going faster than 10mph according to tracking but they have enough commitment to make it to Copenhagen before 2020 I think.
Keeping the 'reserve rider' warm is one issue. They have tried reverse facing front seats which makes sense from windchill point of view.
Being tailed by media crew in an EV.Posted 4 years ago # -
No surprise that they did it but must have been very tough.
Windchill when not pedalling versus burning loads of energy carrying someone.
Got to Copenhagen last night with only a few hours left.

There is a zoom webinar on this tonight at 7.30pm. Really looking forward to it.
They have lots other stuff in this week too.
