i haven't put in my $0.02 yet, so here it is...
i'd LOVE to ride my bike and get paid. i wouldn't mind the picking up and dropping off. i would mind not having insurance, yet having a lot of risk involved with the job anyway. i would mind rude people at stops and on the road. and as a student, i'd mind only being able to work a few hours and make even less...i don't like living off my student loans like i am now.
but, oh, it would be fun to be on a bike all day. if ever i can reconcile some of the issues i have with the **** aspects of messengering, i'd like to do it. but i don't know that that would happen soon.
