Really? All/most of the posties here are on bikes. If you call CT110 a bike that is......

Well done on the job man. Remember that all DVD shaped deliveries from Canberra should be redirect to my abode in Sydney.

waddaya mean? these rock (",)



actually, have you ever ridden one bones? i never did until yesterday. these things have an amazingly tight turning circle.

i wonder if i can do this to the one they issue me  ;D



thats right. thats a supercharger!

patrickl has raised the issue though. us aussies have taken it for granted that the post use motorbikes. whats the scene in your countries guys? UK, Canada, USA, Eire, Nederlands, Singapore etc?

cdbrown:
Coming from Aus I was used to seeing the postie on a motorbike riding across the front yard eventually creating a track in the grass between houses.  I think some peopl have complained as they now generally avoid riding across the lawn.  Here in the UK it's delivery by foot (well that's in London anyway).  The posties walk along with large trolleys and deliver that way or carry a shoulder bag with them, all depends on where they are.


patrickl:
In the Netherlands regular mail is usually delivered on foot. We have similar trolleys in the Netherlands too. Or they take a bicycle (sometimes with a big box in front). But then maybe on the countryside they use someting mopeds or motorcycles.

Usually they walk with a shoulderbag or a trolly:


or they take a bike:


A while ago they used an electric bike called Roodrunner (not sure if they still do after the house style change to orange):

WHAT?! You mean the $5000 Segway didn't take over the postal world?! I'm shocked!
