    Another great video! I just started delivering this past weekend after watching your other videos, and it got me riding to all new places around my city. It's a really great way to spend your time on a bike and give purpose to your ride. Much more motivating then riding the same routes, and the whole making money part isn't bad either! Keep it up, hope you get in at least a few more weeks of riding before winter!

    Wow, the production value is quite impressive. Even better finding out you're Canadian (like me!) I appreciate the demonstrations and the edits. I plan on delivering with my bike as well. Questions for ya, do you leave your bike locked nearby restaurants or destinations, and if so - where do you store your lock when you've picked up an Order? I purchased a separate lock for when I start delivering, and I guess I'll store it inside of the Uber Eats bag? Great idea with the blanket, seems to add some cushioning, although might add to the weight of the bag, especially when riding a bike which in your case, appears to be a standard road bike and not an e-bike like many Uber Eats cyclists use. A bit uneasy about brining my bike inside of the apartment and elevators, but we'll see if I run into those issues once I start Ubering! :)

    • @singlespeedeats745
      @singlespeedeats745  Рік тому +2

      Hey Jaden! Thanks for watching / commenting. Stoked for you to start delivering soon. To answer your questions - when I have to leave my bike outside, I lock it as close as I can to that building. And when I am delivering, I keep the food on the bottom, then the blanket, then the lock on top to weigh it down. It all adds weight but your legs get used to it - it's really not that heavy tbh. And yea - I like to bring my bike inside sometimes. I'd rather carry it up stairs or wait for the next elevator than be panicking that it will get stolen. All depends on the area you're delivering in and how much you trust your bike won't get stolen :)

      No special kind of blanket. Just an old one we use to use on the couch haha. I use it mainly to minimize how much the food/drinks move around in my bag like you said! Some people use insulated blankets to help with temperature regulation but I don't bother.

    Loved your content bro. Have you ever been to Gaitneu for deliveries, are there enough orders when taking Ottawa and Gatineau as a whole? I am planning to study in Algonquin next year and have planned to do part-time uber eats on e-bike. One more question is Ottawa safe during dark hours for Uber eats?

    • @singlespeedeats745
      @singlespeedeats745  2 роки тому +1

      Thank you man! I have never delivered In Gatineau before but Downtown Ottawa is not far away - just across the river. But there are lots of orders in Ottawa to make some good money. And yes - Ottawa is safe after dark - the byword market can be sketchy at times but as long as you keep moving and lock your bike properly, you will be good!

    u can't be serious it's not easy work. To be honest it is quite easy, i've been doing food delivery now for almost 2 years here in Copenhagen where I live, I work for a company based in Finland (their also located in different countries such as Japan, Germany, Israel, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Croatia, Serbia, Georgia, Greece, Slovakia, Slovenia, Cyprus, Malta, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan.) called Wolt where they have the same system as uber eats where u can go on and off when u want and I also bike around and to be honest its not that difficult, u don't need some special education / degree to do this job, any idiot can do what we do it's not that hard, sure their are times when nothing much happens i agree then again it's like that with most jobs not only food delivery but also working as a waiter at a restaurant, working at a retail store selling clothes, shoes, watches etc etc... their are time when customers won't go into the store to buy anything or just walk around and leave again so yea theirs that aspect of it being dead at time. All i'm saying is working in this business yes it's tough, requires lots of energy to bike around long hours and kilometers but other than that the work is really easy. As i mentioned before any idiot can ride a bike, use a smartphone so it's not like it's the most difficult job in the world.
