If you're on Universal Credit like me then it probably will hurt if its not reliable.
But it seems nice being able to do something like that without having to take the cr@p that comes with most other jobs.
Also say one day it was hammering down can u just not bother doing your shift and theres no consequence?

True - I'd suggest applying anyway, and discussing with whoever the area manager is what kind of minimum shift allocation you'd be getting. If it'll be similar to JSA or whatever then I'd be inclined to take it, because I know from experience that's a miserable existence.
As for skipping shifts, I don't know - probably comes down to your manager, again. I just text the guy if I can't make one for any reason and haven't heard anything back about it, but we're fairly overstaffed here. Just remember that if you're not on shift you're not earning, and cycling in the rain isn't really that bad.

I wouldn't want to do it as a primary source of income, it's not reliable. I just do a few shifts on top of my part time work. That said, getting paid to cycle is nice enough if you can hack the cold and if you're currently doing nothing else it can't hurt. Let me know if you want to apply, there's a referral system that will net you and the referrer extra dosh
