It sounds like you have a great cargo bike great business going. If you want to send along some photos and information, we will feature you in a delivery related post in the future. And as for UPS, I think their foray into cargo bike delivery is probably a bit of both - good PR and an attempt to see if it works on a larger scale, as you say. Hopefully, as more and more businesses like UPS try out delivery by bike, it will become easier and more mainstream for others. You are certainly aiding in that with your business. Best of luck.
