Shopping delivery system using bikes

I'm pondering if it would be feasible to start a subscription based, regular scheduled shopping delivery system with bikes.

Viability summary follows. Reduced vehicle purchase and operating costs help make pricing competitive. The slower top speed is not an issue because of both the scheduled manner of delivery, and because driving is mostly composed of short sections, given a reasonable number of subscribers in each region.

An online shopping application could serve the customers. Registration would be possible only in person and at the shipping address. The application would need to provide a calendar for setting shipping time, and a product catalog that contains photos and basic data of each product - like size and weight. Handling of orders, generating the shopping lists and optimizing the allocation of drivers would also happen automatically.

To be continued...
