UPS tests electric bikes in Portland

I am glad to read that UPS is now testing electric bikes as part of their delivery fleet which you can read more about here.

The article shows how forward-thinking UPS is but forgets to mention one thing - cost savings via fewer parking tickets!

As a worker in Downtown San Francisco, I see stacks of tickets under wiper blades of all sorts of vehicles illegally parked which must cost UPS and others a ton of money.

The article also fails to explain how UPS will stock and re-stock the bikes as most delivery companies do not have warehouses in the downtown cores of San Francisco or other major cities?

I await their deployment in San Francisco!
