Who else does this here ?
I've been doing it always when I bike . It's simply faster and safer
I was watching murder of couriers and saw multiple times (and even a neck tattoo!) that absolutely amazing logo. Can’t find much about on google so, here i am wanting to learning more about it.
Hey folks, i’m 22, student. To cut it short, riding bikes is all I wanna do and I want a messenger job but afraid it won’t pay the bills. Especially in the long term.
How do you see the industry in the following years? Will it be reliable still?
Thank you
From Scratch, a documentary about Seoul, South Korea's bicycling scene, and only bike messenger company in the entire country featured. Watch it here:

hey guys,
I've worked for an app before many years ago. Now I'm looking for a "real" courier job. Do you have any advice on where and how to look for this?
Also, what language level would you say it's necessary to handle this job? Cuz I'll be doing this in my third language.
I'm based in Europe, Switzerland to be more specific.
Are there still any London-based bike messenger companies? Seems like all I see are the app-based ones.
Hey folks.
So I posted a few weeks ago about getting into mess work, starting with the apps. I’ve gone online a few times since and today was the first (and lone) time I’ve actually got a delivery.
It was easy but not nearly enough. Here in Montreal, the apps outside of Uber aren’t even taking new couriers, and while Uber does let me go online, it seems like there are just way too many couriers for the demand.
I was wondering what tips you guys have for finding more work, or gaming Uber/the apps to get more work from them? Recommended strats like location, times or days?
Thanks for any ideas.
Mines dying what you all recommend?
How much does riding for jimmy John’s suck compared to the apps? Thinking about changing it up. Do you have to clean bathrooms and make sandwiches and shit if it’s slow?
