POV Delivering Food During the Lunch Rush on a fixed gear bike. Delivering food on a fixed gear bike, showing a day in the life of a bike messenger Check out the Instagram for Daily Updates @ : Fixedgearr
For real tho bro it has its ups and its downs! It’s nice to fly down the street when it’s dead but it’s more fun in that dense nyc traffic! Thanks bro 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Thats a nice bike - How is it called exactly? Your tours are so cool. Greetings from Germany! But I have to ask - in Germany we would get a high fine vor drive over a red light - in US this is okay?
In the US the often look the other way. Unless the police have a grudge with you or you yell at them passing by they won’t mess with you! But thanks it’s a Blb London Lo Pro! 🙏🙏
@@Fixedgearr That's really cool - need this here too, but if I think about it, we can't have it here, this would not work. Car drivers allways agressive against bicycle riders. Thx for telling me the name of the bike!
Thank you!! I appreciate it 😁 it’s called a phone pouch! This one is made by trash messenger bags. But chrome industries, road runner, TimBuk2 all make great ones!
Great job! You make it look so easy! I’ve been thinking about doing that type of work…any advice you can share with me about it? I greatly appreciate it 😊
Thank you bro!! I really appreciate it. All I can say is if you like to ride a bike you’ll like getting paid to ride one haha. There’s really nothing that can prepare you besides having extra tubes and a huge bag!
@thesouthbaybikerider this is a restaurant only in Indiana but I would check out door dash , Uber eats, Grubhub or go puff those are the main ones! 🤙🏼🤙🏼 some other restaurants should be hiring where you are too!
Hey! Thanks for watching 🤙🏼 I usually do about 20 miles a day but it really just depends how far the orders are that they send me! The most I’ve done for work was 60 miles
I'm wondering, is this all you do for your income? And if yes, how much do you make a month doing this? Some of those orders seem so easy for so much money haha.
This is what I’m doing full time! But in the past I’ve worked a second job while delivering. And it really varies but I go for at least $700 a week. Also I couldn’t agree more lol it’s a blessing getting those big orders but that doesn’t always happen!
@@Fixedgearr I'm very curious, about how many orders per day, hours a day, days per week is that? What's the median weekly earnings for a bike messenger?
@@mikeyfinn2 today I did 20 deliveries so far that was from 9am to 2pm I’m not done working yet but I usually average $6 and some change per order it really just depends on the day tho!
Love your videos. Stay safe and keep up the good work! Greetings from Pl. Btw how often do you have accidents? I am road biker but your riding style is bit crazy :D
Hey!! Thanks for asking I would recommend looking for something used off Facebook marketplace place! You can find some really nice bikes on there for cheap such as Fuji track, Felt Tk2 or 3, Leader, or Skream. Just some examples. If you want to buy something new and complete I’d recommend State Bicycle Co. they are pretty affordable and are built with decent components! Stay away from things like pure fix, Kent, unknown, bikes like that are made to look cool but are built with terrible components.
If you are speaking to in part, the lack of activity in the form of traffic (car/foot) overall: I can't speak for Indianapolis but in Detroit and perhaps other more core parts of urban cities in the U.S., plenty of workers continue to work from home. Crazy idea I know...that people might view the cons of traveling in a car (for most people anyways it's car in the U.S. and especially Metro Detroit) more than a short distance every workday and dealing with traffic and costs as outweighing the pros of working in the office which are social connections but I don't know how socially close most people are in work settings in the U.S.
@@EBR846 When i said that the city seems spacious i mean literally that streets are wide and kinda empty. I have no work yet but from my perspective it would be cool to work from home, as for communications i think you could get enough of your local friends but maybe its unrealistic judgement from an asocial person
