In the so called "developing" countries, delivery app deliveries are mostly on light motor bikes and even ebikes.

According to zipline[1] it is still better than motorcycles at least. Considering we are talking about 100km, I would not consider a bicycle an option for such small packages.

That said for me delivering a package by bicycle+ train + bycycle is an option but it will always be more expensive unless you can stand long delivery times.

The vast vast majority of couriers in NYC are on e-bikes or mopeds.
