    Be good for the Royal Mail..... although they do seem to have some hand-pushed cart items now instead of bikes.

    A carry freedom trailer can let one person shift two very large boxes weighing around 60lbs. On a short journey you have to balance time taken to secure load versus just walking it round corner. With no steering it actually works very well. As it's not a vehicle I can take onto pavement and get through doors of shop (Y Frame Large).

    For squarer stuff you can tow the trailer carefully.

    If anyone is thinking of load carrying bikes, Andy H (Harrington?) up in Perth direction is selling his Xtracycle Freeradical with all the trimmings.

    Didn't Royal Mail stop using bikes somewhere last year for "safety" reasons? :-/
