I checked with the post office regarding bike shipments and learned only that the shipping rates could be as low as $50 . 70 lb wt $130. With carbon bikes weighing 15 or less it is very affordable to ship them away. I couldn't get a count of how many and there is only voluntary declaration. Maybe the main USPS could provide data on the shipped data. But perhaps the regulations could be changed to not allow shipping without valid ownership / registration much like autos.
This maybe a little control on the epidemic.
It is also possible to use the usps online api to download some useful data on bike shipping from Oahu.
Keep up the good work.
