I work as a courier. There aren't many of us but we stay busy. We also do medical deliveries for the hospitals. Like samples and things. We started doing food delivery as well and are working on delivering weed legally through the dispensiary. It's definitely a dying business but if you look at businesses like tcb in San Fran they have like a few hundred employees and deal mostly with food. So there are ways to make it work, but it's nothing like it was in the 80s and 90s.

Some of the best reading I've had on Bikeforums, for sure.
To those of you who have (literally) busted your ass earning nothing to speak of, because you love it: my kudos!
I did it in another sport and DO NOT REGRET it. Despite the physical problems accompanying aging and injury, financial difficulties in retirement, and so on...I lived life the way I wanted, not the way I was told to.
I don't see the golden parachute folks with the same satisfaction.
Sheesh....sounds like Idaho & Cleveland have a border skirmish going...lol

Idaho is still mad at me because I call the thing you sit on a "seat" and he calls it a "saddle".

Huh ? I've read through this thread several times and don't see it. Anyways, why do you call being a Lumberjack a "sport" ?

At my univ (Humboldt State) they had logging sports as an actual club sport that you could enroll in. My big, strong friend Leonard kicked ass at it. He was a forestry major too.
