Danish postman riding out to a ship on the harbour to deliver the post. The Danish postal service have custom-made bicycles which are quite cool to ride.

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.
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.
