Kick scooters – a flat board on wheels with a long handle at the front, propelled by foot – have been made for at least 100 years as toys for children. Florence’s Autoped was one of the first examples of motorised kick scooters. Like a child’s scooter, it had no seat.

"Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail shall keep the postmen from their appointed rounds"

Just amazing how US Postal Service has evolved! I guess then they were trying to launch the most efficient, eco-friendly means of mail delivery.

they could carry about 2 packages from Amazon each

wonderful photography
