Bike Couriers - London

What time do Bike Couriers normally work from and until in London?

From when they pick up a parcel to when they deliver it.

Haha, but when does their working day normally finish?

I think clockwise is making a serious point.
As mostly self employed they aren't working unless there is a package in the bag.

When the bag is empty they are just people with bikes.

Can finish 6ish most days, lots of the bigger companies keep a couple on after that till 9-10 and even through the night on standby.

You finish when your controller says so/has no more jobs for you/you have made enough money to eat.

It is not a job of regular hours, no day will be the same.

8 - 5, 9 - 6, 10 - 7

I used to finish when either the controller couldn't be arsed to carry on calling me out, or I couldn't be arsed to keep listening to him. As for starting, as clockwise said, whenever there's something in the bag.
If time had to put on it. 8-5 most days. Nobody gave a shit about your hours but yourself.

I worked a standard 8.30-6 day with the last run of the day a regular pick up at 5.45 but then i worked in Manchester

Thanks guys. Where would a group of them likely to be hanging about now?
I'm trying to film a little piece on London Bike Couriers and I need to find some right characters!

Full Shitty on a Friday evening

go to the Moving Target forum (which I assume you know about if you are wanting to film London bike couriers) and tread carefully. Couriers as a rule dislike media as they are usually negatively represented (loads and loads and loads of people always want to do 'little pieces' on couriers) and this often leads to a negative response at first, especially as there are a number of people in that community who spend a lot of time an effort getting couriers to be portrayed in a better light and be less exploited than many of them are.

Outline your motivation clearly and maybe make a donation to the London Bike Messenger Association (which I aslso assume you know about due to your interest in couriers)

Thick skin before wandering into moving target. Thick skin.

Moving target is dead and has been for years.

A bit like its founder.

Admit it, you're deepening those shadows yourself.

A bit like its founder.

amazing!
