So would a sushi roll be considered a structure rebel, ingredient neutral

Some might consider raw fish ingredient rebel, but there's no way that belongs in the same category as a poptart, I mean c'mon

Okay I got it!
 
Pipe ziptied in the basket to keep the drinks from rolling around.

What kind of bike and basket? Seriously considered getting one but they seem to really affect the handling which I am not about to sacrifice.

If you don't already have a basket, how have you been transporting the sandwiches and beverages? :foo:

They will provide you with a Timbuk 2 bag if you want, or you can use your own. I prefer my own since I have a phone pouch on there, pens, hidden change, etc. Drinks get carried in hand, the food bags go in my bag.

OK, got it. But.........what happens when an order has multiple beverages?

Another question. What has been your longest run for a delivery?

I can carry two drinks in one hand, that is it. Our store has a pretty small delivery area to keep delivery times at a minimum and they like to keep us close, mostly on campus to get in and out quickly and due to a lack of car parking. Last year during the big rivalry home college football game....I worked 5 hours, made 40 deliveries and rode 33 miles.

Wow. So they are really short and in rapid succession. That's gotta be good for tips action. :thumb:

Yep, sometimes have 4-5 orders in my bag at one time, some buildings are right in a row, some are a bit away, but they like to set us up for maximum efficiency so we are in and out quick.

I put on a schwinn seat post-mounted rack and then slapped a milk crate on it. As far as bikes. I use a really cheap mtb.

TenSpeedV2 05-08-17 11:28 AM

So how are you securing the drinks in the crate?

TimothyH 05-08-17 02:27 PM

Can someone ride a four pack of Topo Chico over to my house please?

All this talk of drinks and riding has me pretty thirsty.

Ha! Now that's funny!


Actually, it took an "electoral college system" that beguiles anyone with an objective mind. (Why are all other elections based on popular vote?)

Zoroman 06-05-17 09:07 AM

Can we see some PICTURES of these various ways to carry drinks, as a food and drink delivery person who rides a bicycle?
