Another thing about Postmen...It is required by law any person riding a bicycle on a public road should wear a helmet ...our posties don't.

 

Law in a lawless country?? :eek:

That's why they push their bikes. It also makes the amount of work last the day.

A million more things to go wrong and nobody to fix it. One gear and a coaster hub and that bike will go about a thousand years between services.

I once had a chat with a postman over his bike.. During the conversation I silently lifted the bike just to feel how heavy the bike is. And I can confirm. He pushes the bike because it weights a ton.....then they addec the big bin for thd post........then they added the post.

 

not many of the cyclists around will be able to ride that bikes in full gear.

Potmans Bike also never been upgraded. Also getting paid by the hour makes you do less to make work last longer. Still reckon Potman has a better pension plan than i do.

Thanks for that magnificent thread contribution.

Pleasure, you asked for an opinion I gave mine. You must be very bored to start a thread like this. But that is my opinion.
