DSC01329: A very modern Royal Mail bicycle.
This bicycle would have been the last type to be issued for mail deliveries. It had drum brakes & a 3 speed rear wheel. All the cycles were eventually withdrawn as more postal vans were purchased to carry post persons to their delivery starting points, & extra mail for their delivery route placed in securely locked positions ready for the post person to complete the delivery without being so overloaded for Health & Safety reasons.
