Given his desire for publicity you might get in touch with AV2Hire
(http://www.av2hire.com/). No guarantees, but you can do worse than try!

At least a couple of years ago they very certainly /did/, as their
brochure stated that when I'd called by to try one out.

misleading stuff.

Hi there. The lighting and sound company I work for have resisted my
efforts to get them to deliver some things by bike. Despite numerous
demonstrations that in some cases it is an order of magnitude faster
than a van.

Hello Jon,
It is a shame, but you know that some AV Companies see it as a bit naff
delivering by bicycle (Note that is other AV Companies, not our
customers)... I found that by using bikes (8-Freights) to deliver our
Projectors, Screens and Sound Systems in London saved us around
£15,000.00 Per Year on CC, Petrol and Parking alone!
Put in the cost of a Van, Insurance, Road Tax, and factor in the
additional free advertising and the green issue and it becomes a very
viable alternative.

However our main reason for using bikes is the parking issue... We set
up the projectors for our customers and we never have problems parking,
and we never have to hurry up because the meter is counting down.

Good luck trying to convince them, however I think it may fall on deaf
ears :-(

£15 grand a year in the bosses pocket won't fall on deaf ears....
