Post Delivery
Royal Mail
Royal Mail used Pashley postal delivery bicycles for over 35 years, during which time the company supplied over 75,000 bicycles. The early bicycles were of Royal Mail’s own design and consisted of a “gents” and “ladies” frame, with single speed and rod operated brakes. These were subsequently improved to 3 speed gears with internal hub brakes. Pashley worked with Royal Mail to improve the durability of their original design, which resulted in the introduction of the “Millennium” model in 1997. Pashley had also anticipated the need for greater load carrying capability from its many business customers which culminated in the introduction of the “Pronto” model in 1998. This World-leading design made use of a unisex frame so that load could be safely carried in rear panniers, in addition to the front carrier.
In 1999 Royal Mail conducted a European wide competition for a new generation postal delivery bicycle and after extensive rig and user testing a variant of the Pashley “Pronto” model was selected. This was named the “MailStar” and it entered service in 2000. Pashley was the sole supplier of these bicycles and also provided tools and spare parts in support of the fleet operation.

Mulberry
To celebrate London Craft week, Pashley produced two ‘spring’ themed classic bicycles for fashion house Mulberry to feature in their ‘Spring Summer’ window, at their flagship store on Bond Street. The bicycles also featured in their photography campaign with model Georgia May Jagger, and visitors to the store had the opportunity to win them as part of a prize draw competition.
Pashley went on to produce a range of Special Edition bicycles for Mulberry to retail, in four luxurious shades of metallic colour. Mulberry and Pashley are both passionate supporters of British manufacturer and craftsmanship so it was a fitting brand collaboration.
