bike courier in nyc reporting in
if its just food delivery on an app, avoid postmates, but for advice on a kit, wear anything you want as long as its comfortable and durable in the crotch/waist area, since that spot tends to erode more quickly when you bike for 8+ hours a day
for actual items to carry if you dont want to spend money at bike shops or are planning to work at night bring tools that are essential like tire levers and patch kits and a mini pump. Chrome bags usually have specific spots for them and you can usually strap them onto saddle bags or your bikes frame itself
for a bag, if its just food just use the company bag you can buy, its insulated, usually can be worn as a back pack, and lets the customer know you are their delivery guy
if youre working in a crowded city. if youre planning to do courier work a must have will be a big bag, with the 2 most popular options being the regular messenger bags or those huge backpack types(like the manhattan portage xl bags)
popular brands among couriers for this stuff are Chrome, artic bags, manhattan portage etc.
