Wonderful, I often wondered why USPS does not employ bikes. Many downtown routes are walking routes. In slightly less dense areas a bicycle route make perfect sense.

IBM used to have repairmen on bikes as i blogged about here

and Rex, UPS does actually have bikes which you can read about here

hope you're well, mate.

I remember seeing those UPS bikes before, but Rex is right, as far as I know: USPS (United States Postal Service) doesn't use bikes. The closest they come is little right-hand drive vans that would come around my neighbourhood where I used to live just outside Washington DC.
