One other postscript I can think of.  I would expect that the bean counters would find it hard to make this fly except in exceptional places and times if the bike people claim equal pay and benefits as regular union UPS drivers.  And the Union will not let the Company siphon off significant delivery business from their Union divers to temp delivery people.  -----but any inroads toward bike delivery is great.

I would expect that they save more than the fuel savings by paying the bike people same as their Christmas temp "run to the house people."  Not permanent--not union.  But that would be how it should be. That is a flexible open market for labor.  And that is good for the bicycle.
