Maybe they weren't previously cyclists so don't have the road sense that a lot of us have already, I'll be putting my application in soon, getting paid to ride a bike sounds fun to me

Its an online application, that has a question similar to this.
Question
You are out on your round delivering mail in a remote area. Your bicycle suddenly develops a puncture. What do you do?
A: Stop your deliveries, pushing your bike to the nearest bikeshop. Getting it repaired there.
B: Push your bike to the nearest telephone and phone, phone back explaining that you cannot continue your round &
ask that someone else be allocated your round.
C: Abandon your round, returning to the sorting office.

What about option D of repairing it yourself?

No option D
I put that, but got told it was the wrong answer as it wasn't on the list of answers provided!! They must think we're incapable of fixing, either with a patch or replacing the innertube, and carrying on. Or does it speak about the expected level of cycling competance of those they're looking to employ?

I was thinking this. Also doesn't getting a job as a bike courier also make life insurance rather hard to come by?

Most of the ones I've seen around here have bee very 'gutter huggy'

Where was the application form Classic, I couldn't find anything to fill in when I looked the other day, sent them an email earlier though.

Done at the local sorting office, along with two other hopefuls. I think I was the only one actually applying for postal deliveries by bike. When going over the answers in the following interview I did point out that as a rule I carry the means of basic repairs, such as suddenly developing a puncture, with me.
