I hear that the Post Office is phasing out the use of bicycles in order to be more competitive. I'm not sure this is a good idea in London. Certainly it is the quickest way to travel around however, comfort is another matter due to the weather and breakdowns. I do about 500miles a month and what with tyres ( I buy Vredesteins as they puncture less than others I have used ), break pads, general maintenance etc, I get through about £200 a year. Surely this has to be less than the cost of a van or car or even motorcycle. I assume undervaluing the Post Office business by a billion or so, may have something to do with phasing out cycles. ( large capital expenditure and running costs ) What do you think?
