Post by royalwud »

can anyone tell me the maximum distance you can cycle , from office to first point of delivery
2 miles? 5 miles ?

they are moving us 6 miles away from the post code we deliver to,
how the hell are they going to get 40 members of staff on delivery every morning.

The more traveling time the less delivery time.

Problem we found with the Combi is they're too small to get a bike into the back of...so that rules out dropping you off. :hmmmm We have used "Storage Points" for cycles in the past. One was only about 2 miles from the office the other 4 where about 5 miles.

The Cycle Duty would be dropped off by a van with his 1st Bag, and the van would then drop off remaining bags at Bag Drops. It used to work quite well....so needless to say they changed that system to the new on! :arrrghhh

I would suggest that with your situation you wouldn't be using the same Cycle Deliveries. Unless you had a Mini-Tour De France every morning! :Very Happy
