>>1165364>right. well anyways, i do wonder what placing all that weight as high up as you possibly can does to the bike's handling>what is unsprung weight vs sprung weight?Racks make going through potholed streets a shitty experience and my city's streets are trash. I don't commute 40 miles on the regular, neither is that a lot of distance anyway
>>1165366thanks, that was one of last year's photos when the bike was fresh while I was using a shittier Dawes as my workhorse. Here's a photo of that Dawes while it was still fresh about 3 years ago and before it was stolen last year. Now my Motobecane has a lot of chips from constantly locking/unlocking but it's hard to see in recent photos.
I did postmates 3 years ago and doing doordash now. It's easy because you just pick up food then drop it off but some shit's beyond your control that can get you kicked off the platform. Person working Panera threw pickles on that sandwich when asked for none? 1/5. Barista didn't sweeten the cappuccino just right? 1/5. Phone glitched and skipped the last 5 orders? Acceptance % goes down. That's the kind of shit that got me kicked off postmates and switched to doordash. I tried emailing and talking to them in their office to get back on the platform but dispatchers or management or whatever doesn't give a fuck really.
I'd rather work for a legit courier instead of delivering food through these apps to entitled fucks if I could but I have other obligations that has scheduling priority. There isn't a lot of money in it, neither is it steady pay or safe job thanks to insane drivers, but it's not bad to be paid to bike half the time. As long as you know what you're getting yourself into, then don't expect more or less from it.
