I know a good few riders who’ve gone from Edinburgh to Dublin to work, and a few who’ve come back.

Riding slow in traffic and keeping your balance can have you ending up on the road looking up at an very irate car owner wanting reconpence for his scratched car. So the front end distance between toe and tyre is critical. DHJ

From what I’ve seen, they never lock them while making a delivery. The boxes mean they can handle several shoebox-sized packages, rather than just documents and small packets.

I’m not sure I’d agree with thin tyres necessarily: if you’re seriously traffic-jamming, you need the kind of cornering and braking performance you get from 35mm or so. And don’t forget that really good all-weather tyres are a must.
