Newest addition to An Post's fleet

Obviously the Irish postal service is adapting to the times.

This is one of An Post's newest addition to its fleet. And it was seen out and about on a Saturday afternoon.

Older people will remember when there were two daily postal deliveries, one in the morning and one in late afternoon. 

When the then Post and Telegraph postal service ceased Saturday deliveries there was a national outcry.

And now what are we seeing? The postwom/an back out delivering on a bicycle.

This new bicycle is battery operated. Then again, it's not a bicycle. How could it be. Three wheels, which makes it a tricycle. Fadó fadó, children called them three-wheelers.

Back in fashion.

What goes round comes round. In more ways than one.
