Eurobike EURXC550. Get a basket for it & you should be sorted for road-based stuff.

If your area is mostly flat get a single speed or fixed gear.
If your area is hilly get any old name brand used bike that's within your budget.
Avoid department store, off brand, and/or noname bikes. Shimano drivetrain. Avoid twist shifters.
Get rack/basket from Ali/Ebay if you don't already have such items. It also helps to have lights and fenders.

What does UberEats or Grubhub bike couriers earn in an hour? Or is it per delivery? Or by mile or some shit?

Is it worth it in a medium sized city?Will people really wait 40 minutes just for me to deliver a Chik Fil A sammy?

I think they get paid a base amount that they know in advance and whatever the customer chooses to tip afterwards.

I was just thinking about this today biking around. I think you could do it comfortably in a very large city where bike couriers are already a thing. Otherwise I think you'd have to make some pretty long hauls and the pay would end up coming to be depressingly low per hour

Nothing beats these rear saddlebag baskets. If you have something that doesn't fit in the basket you can simply strap it down on top. I've done this with a large filing cabinet. Unlike a handlebar basket, it won't really affect your steering/riding.

stay away from walmart, amazon etc. the cheapest acceptable bike is an entry level fixie or name brand hybrid for around 500-600. but you're fooling yourself by cheaping out on your bike. a 900+ bike will be much nicer. potentially you might find something second hand but they're mostly trying to rip you off and you need to factor in repairs. you also need to spend money on various accessories like a floor pump, tools, and you should have SPD pedals and shoes and various clothes like cycling shorts, jackets and winter gear depending on what the climate is like where you live.

Carried Furniture Deliveries for Homeport in this one...lightning fast, balanced through turns with weight due to central seat post hitch, and can carry massive weight in the floor area, or on the wheel wells if wider....tons of tie down points, and can carry two huge tupperware containers side by side. Stacking optional.

Hoping to make more of them one day....
