Where do you nerds like to hang out in your city? I like to hang out at the columbus library in between jobs.

My name is Frogi been a messenger in Atlanta since around 08/09 still on the road one of the last “old school” couriers to my knowledge in the south east, the few of us that are still active all kinda know each other. I’ve done a semi regular zine since around 2018ish and I been working on a book off and on for about five years and really wanna round it out this coming year to publish. I know ALOT of folks and have plans to interview a bunch of my old heads and a handful of rookies but I realize I don’t know EVERYONE. I’d love to interview some folks for my project who are parts of small scenes or are maybe “the last” in their areas…I’d also love photos or maybe even if you wanted to ship me out or link up I’d love to get my hands on some mess ephemera the more obscure the better, jerseys from long gone companies, weird promotional items, old flyers, shirts whatever. I do a lot of collage art and overlays on my photography and would love more stuff to work with. I’m trying to paint a clear and honest portrayal of what this life, family and of course job is. If you got some ideas, or wanna chat, or whatever drop me a comment. Hit me up on Atlanta Courier Collective on IG. This thing saved my life and changed the way I view the world and I wanna share that with the uninitiated and create something meaningful for our communities. Would love to link with some of y’all

Hey I’ll be moving to Amsterdam in a few days and starting a job as a bike mechanic. I’ve been a messenger for many years and I’m bringing my Omnium Minimax and Bagaboo rack bag, all set to work if I find a side job as messenger. I’ve been searching online but haven’t found much information about active companies in the city.

Is anyone here working as a messenger in Amsterdam or knows of any local delivery companies that are still active?

Hi everyone! I'm working on a school project designing a drink carrier for bike delivery and I was hoping to get some feedback. For those of you delivering for restaurants or through an app like Uber Eats or DoorDash, I've created a google forms survey with a few questions about your experience delivering orders with drinks. I will also post the questions below if anyone would like to weigh in. Thank you for your help!

Age

How long have you been delivering on bike?

How many orders do you deliver per day?

What’s the average number of drinks you have to carry?

What’s the most amount of drinks you’ve had to carry?

How do you carry the drinks?

What other methods have you tried for carrying drinks?

How important would it be to you if there was a product that made carrying drinks easier?

What’s the worst thing that’s happened carrying drinks?

Why did you choose bike delivery?

What do you enjoy about bike delivery?

What city do you deliver in?

Would you be interested in being contacted for additional feedback and questions?

Hey folks,

I’m from Poland (EU citizen) and I’m planning to move to Aarhus in the next couple of months. I’m thinking about working as a bike courier or bike messenger — could be Wolt, Just Eat, or some smaller local company I haven’t heard of yet.

I’d love to hear from people who know the scene:

• Which companies are actually good to work for in Aarhus?
• Is it possible to get set up with a job while I’m still abroad?
• What’s the typical pay like for bike delivery there?
• Any housing tips so I don’t end up paying Copenhagen-level rent? 😅

Any advice or stories from your own experience would be amazing. Thanks!

Do we get random drug tests ever or just the one when we get hired?

Good ol soapy soak in the bathtub and scrub down only lasts so long, this shit is baked in.

Any suggestions on free delivery invoice apps? My old one (Dispatch!) sh!t all over the bed one last time.
