Looks better then canada post...My carrier usually takes the winter off with an "injury"...Then again they also wait 30 minutes for a taxi to take them three blocks.
No bike posties here. It's already all vans and the occasional push trolly. No golf carts yet, but there's the odd police officer on a Segway and I'm sure that at least a few of the posties view them with a bit of envy.
It almost seems a shame it's pointless to carry long haul mail on a bike. I've never seen myself as an urban messenger (I've done a few odd runs for a few extra bucks, when the runs were available and the bucks were needed), but I could see myself on a fixie shooting out of Sacramento yelling, "Way! Way! Mail coming through. Yo, ho and on to Saint Jo!"

I delivered New Year Post cards in my child while riding such a Japanese postal bicycle. I remember my memory about twenty five years ago. Thanks.
Very impressive.
Are the tyres studded?
