100% with you on this, the only time I order a takeaway is if I am ill and cant cook. I also prefer to ride over and collect myself.
but I do wish they wouldn't delimit them.
I think these bikes are sold delimited or at least the motor kits arrive from far east like that. There is no legal enforcement.

From an environmental perspective, it's definitely an improvement over mopeds, but I do wish they wouldn't delimit them. No idea if the one in the above incident was, but I've seen so many.
Also, the state of this--should probably post this in the Deliveroo thread, but when you phone to get a takeaway from RASA N16 these days, which I rather like doing and have been doing for over 20 years, you get a free curry (I kid you not, and inevitably an excellent one) just because you're not using one of the exploitative 'delivery' companies (really: monopolising information flow and accumulation to force smaller businesses into accepting a huge cut to their takings).
I mean, I never understood the attraction of ordering pizza to be delivered to your door long before Deliveroo et al. started, but that's probably because I like riding my bike a lot, I don't particularly go for pizza (got nothing against it, it's just not food I turn to first), and I hardly ever get takeaways except from RASA, but I think the current development, where some shit companies are trying to get people to accept having food delivered as the default, is utterly absurd.
