USPS mail delivery by bike

Washcycle noticed a Postal Service press release ("Green Mail Delivery Saves Postal Service Millions") mentions that the USPS does deliver mail by bike in a handful of communities.

It turns out that the USPS delivers mail by bike in only three places – Sun City, Arizona, St. Petersburg, Florida, and Miami Beach, Florida.
