Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

NATIONAL CARRIERS Parcels has, I am told, 753 vehicles and 442 trailers — and a bike. The velocipede is second-line transport at Hull, where Brian Leonard, the transport supervisor, leaps upon it when the five vans are all out and a customer is waiting for an urgent delivery.

With great tact, Brian hides his secret weapon around a corner so the customer believes his goods have arrived on the winged feet of Mercury.

ANC, on the other hand, brazenly used a bicycle to send a consignment 195 miles from Westminster to Flint. Mick Morrison, the parcels operator's professional cyclist, completed the journey in nine hours with a proclamation that the granting of the town's charter by Edward I in 1284 would be re-enacted in Flint Castle on September 8.
