I've a friend who does it just as a gap between him being made redundant and him riding around the world with his missus in a month or twos time, and have heard from other couriers, the pays not great at all, it's tedius and dangerous, certainly nothing to work towards, just a job if you can't get anything else. Don't get me wrong, i'd love to ride my bike all day, but it's just like a macdonalds job i guess? Not dissing couriers either cos most of the ones i've spoken to are safe as houses, just it's a basic job with a basic wage.
