The bike messenger system completed its expansion on the island last week after starting in December, a spokeswoman said. Initially confined to a single ZIP code (10001, extending from the Empire State Building west to Penn Station and the Hudson River) Amazon had been rapidly adding new neighborhoods over the winter.

"We are excited to expand soon to other boroughs," spokeswoman Kelly Cheeseman said.
