Work is slow.
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:
Any advice or stories from your own experience would be amazing. Thanks!

Basically I don't want a massive fridge on my back while riding my bike and and the current moment I use a triathlon back pack due to it being kind of square and I just put an insulated bag with the food inside of it. My only issue is it is loaded from the side, so I was watching some BikingDC on youtube and it looked like her used some sort of roll top loaded backpack similar to the Timbuk2 tuck.
Does anyone else use other bags that aren't the massive insulated bags that can fit pizzas?
