Haha sounds good man! I've been cycling in Valkenburg sometimes, great area. What do you deliver on those fixed routes?
kjlem-
Mail to companies are fixed medicines rounds .
And Documents, flowers, bread, more documents, urgent medicines from hospital, flyers and everything they call for is urgent. -
Fixed rounds take max 3 hour. The other 4 are the fun part 😁
Fixed rounds are needed because only live with urgent jobs is almost not possible on not so busy day's

I work in Maastricht, The Netherlands. And also in Valkenburg. I am from Belgium and moved 15 km across the border.
And no, I come into companies and see how people get stuck in their lifes, hate the job they do and buy stuff to make them happy , big tv, once a year a brochure holiday.. And people say to me, you shine happiness. I walk out in summer into the sun not knowing Whats comming next.
Every day is different, meet different people and I have freedom . Doesnt matter were I cycle. I am never sick, never overslept . Messengers are like a community , we are Friends and meet eachother in the city. Do events like alleycats, night rides , meet eachother for beer and campfire in summer.
We have fixed rounds and urgent rides come into those rounds . Money is fixed and every ride/round is different.
I love the urgent rides. But Valkenburg is all the time the same, more like a village we deliver for pharmacie. Nobody call me for urgent stuff thats Nice about it, but sometimes I have a ride to another village for 8 km and when I come back another package is there for the same village 😁 thats having a bad day.
