I can imagine the abuse we'd get from motorists stuck behind one plus the stick from the kids and many adults on the council estates

There's a million rumours knocking round; this one I really can't see though. Imagine the walks of today on bikes. The 'old' days predate me but senior posties have told me what the walks were like in our office. Some were literally half the size they are now. Mail has dropped, but parcels are up. You'd struggle to get one loop of some of the walks in our office on a bike! The e bikes I could see if they have drivers running the oversized on afternoons which seems to be the rumour knocking around; I can't see a return to push bikes though.

I'd take one of these as there's absolutely no way the amount of stuff on my walk would fit in one and I'd get to work alone. I get on with my P&L partner but it's such a laborious way of doing the job!

The enviromental thing is nonsense - what about the extra fumes caused by the lengthy tailbacks behind you!
