Anyone here work as a bicycle courier?

Need a job and thinking of applying for 20 hour work week to pay the rent. Is it hard? Anything one should know before hand?

Also posting this beautiful doc:

That documentary was sick. A bike courier AND homeless, imagine the adventure.
One day when I escape these dreadful suburbs I hope to do at least one of those two things.

I do Ubereats on my ebike in SoCal and make $19-20 an hour on average. Today I did 4 trips at lunch and 4 trips at dinner and made $86. California has prop22 now so in reality I made closer to $95-105. All for just 5 hours of work, so not bad, but how good it is is completely dependent on your area. I'd be making double in certain parts of LA, and much worse if I was in some rural shitheap in the midwest.

Go with an established company if you can. The start ups ALWAYS get fucked for treating their workers like shit and exploiting them with shitty zero hour contracts etc.
