The bicycle stands for mobility for all and for progress—and for over 125 years, it has also stood for the Post Office. As early as 1896, postal workers began using the first postal bicycles, revolutionizing delivery. Since then, the bicycle has become an indispensable part of everyday postal life.
The exhibition features historic bicycles, original uniforms, sturdy delivery bags, and fascinating documents and photographs from everyday postal life.
It illustrates how postal transport on two wheels became increasingly efficient, the role women's cycling played in emancipation, and how the iconic image of the female postal worker on a bicycle came about.
A look at the present day shows how modern transport bikes are actively contributing to an environmentally friendly mobility strategy. Visitors can sit on a loaded delivery bike and interactively experience the everyday work of bicycle delivery workers.
