Apparently they've been doing it on a few routes for a while now, but adding a bunch of bikes to cover the holiday rush. http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_139704...nclick_check=1

I'll bet you didn't know that UPS started right here in Seattle.... as a bike messenger/delivery company!

A good friend of ours (who is a cyclist) is a mechanic for UPS and sent us the story.......it's really pretty cool! We asked him if Brown was going to send him to bike mechanic training

What can Brown do for you? They deliver by bike! Awesome!!!
I LOVE this story. My DH is a mail carrier with the post office, and he just laughed when he saw that. I can just see him riding an xtracycle up and down the hills on his route delivering mail, speeding away from chasing dogs, bringing packages to the door. It makes my heart smile inside.
