Jobs riding a bike
What kinds of jobs exist where the person doing the job is also using his/her bike? Bike Messenger is one job, but there must be others. I'd like to identify those jobs that require or allow you to ride your bike most of the day. Any ideas?

Criminal activity. There seem to be a lot of news reports where gang-bangers and petty thieves doing drive-by shootings are using bicycles instead of cars as their getaway vehicles. Drug dealers use bicycles to get around their neighborhood (or should I say 'hood'?) to their customers, too. Probably harder to identify and trace a bicycle than a car, and I'd bet most of the bicycles are stolen.

Many years ago, I had a job running parts around for a weapons-system repair program. When parts needed to go beyond our local repair activity, I hopped on my bike to take them to the other facility.
