Before motorized trucks dominated the roads, postal workers on bicycles were a familiar sight in neighborhoods nationwide. This sturdy two-wheeler carried mail carriers on their daily rounds, offering reliable, economical transportation for delivering letters and packages to doorsteps across mid-century America.
Art · Full story
It's a warm Tuesday morning. The mail carrier pushes off on their bicycle, the canvas bag heavy across their chest, jingling slightly as they coast down the sidewalk. House to house, they know every porch, every cranky gate, every dog behind every fence. The bicycle does the work their feet never could.
