im a hungarian bike messenger for wolt . i deliver food (mostly) . im glad when i find people making bike messenger content . keep up the good content brother .
Sort of a side story here: The late Robin Williams used to collect bicycles. One day he was browsing in a bike shop and overheard a customer (young adult guy) asking an employee if they had a cheap fixed gear. It seems he was a bike messenger/delivery guy and his bike had been stolen. Williams told the employee to set the guy up with a new Look bike on him. Pretty impressive act, IMO.
Wow I had never heard that story.. thank you sharing! I have seen dope pictures of robin Williams on some sick bikes so not surprised.. thank you for sharing 🙏🏼
I like how your bag compacts for its size. The Ninja messenger backpack seems similar. slow roll and trash bags are both great sizable bags. Local made.
*Looked at a lot of options for getting my **Latest.Bike** . Great find in SAVA. Super light, nice components, really good value as it comes with many options only found in much higher priced bikes.*
Hey man, big fan of the channel. I get to live vicariously through your vids. One suggestion about the videos themselves: you may want to cut the audio of your hand hitting the camera when you do your transition between scenes. It's a bit loud and jarring. If you ever wanted to put music in your videos, that moment of impact with the hand and camera works as a great time to put a strong downbeat in whatever song you're using. Either way though, the impact as it is now makes me jump sometimes. Love the vids and keep up the good work
This would be a dope series if you uploaded like every other day or even every day, just raw riding and delivering. Kind of like those people that work at an ice cream store or sub way lol. gl!
I ride a Gary Fisher MTB on the streets and love the gears, brakes, front suspension to get over curbs, grates, pot holes etc. What's the advantages of the fixie without brakes?
No real advantages. It is more of a lifestyle and a niche community. The appeal is to be more connected with the bike and to just have the necessities. They are also very light. Many people also like the look of the frames. If you do chose to ride fixed gear, get foot retention on your pedals. From a fixed gear rider.
It has basic components, no deraileurs, no brakes, no freewheel, it just a frame, wheels, a pedal and seat. super low maintenance. It takes a bit of learning and getting use to, but try it a few times, practice, you might like it.
Lighter low maintenance bike, if you live in an apt taking a fixie up the stairs and hanging it on your wall is a lot easier after an average 40-mile work day. On an MTB you will not be as efficient. They are also best suited for flat cities since you only have flip-flop gears
Link to other messengers channel? 🙂 Thanks 🚲🚲🚲🚲 You need to buy a two way radio and fix it to your shoulder strap,even though you won’t use it, make you look 90s messenger 🤔😏😏
I worked for them for a while. I didn’t like the fact that the mileage is crazy and I’m getting $15 an hour. There’s no transparency in terms of how much each order is worth vs what I’m being paid to deliver. I prefer food delivery. Granted summer is slower but only a few more months before the fall and winter.
I completely understand your point. I don’t disagree although the mileage for me isn’t bad but I understand. I’m trying it out for now but it’s not my only income.. wouldn’t be enough.
$15/hr does seem low considering NY rents even if you’re not paying for gas. Too bad you can’t get a tax deduction on food and drink as a business expense since it fuels your body to get around on your bike.
I’d say atleast twice as much as the Warsaw.. the vessel is a heavy bag alone with nothing in it.. but it’s also way bigger so depending on the load it’s worth carrying a heavier bag
Why does it look like the handle bars are facing the opposite. Any who dope bike also wanted to ask wht size are the wheels they look thicker then the skinny ones.im lookin for some wider ones not to wide but wider then the skinny ones I have .
Great video 🤙 what bag are you carrying? What size tires are you running? What are you delivering that is so small and allows so many packages to fit in your bag? Keep the videos coming
Looked up capsule and seems to be an online delivery pharmacy service that is probably stealing some of Walgreens and cvs business by cutting costs not having to pay for physical pharmacy locations, automating and remote working any calls or communications between insurance and doctors offices and delivering direct to your home during 2hr window for those who are remote working from home.
This bike is definitely reliable but I wouldn’t say cheap for your average bike.. to me it’s very worth it. it’s all been bought separately and built up.
I figured everyone was using ebikes now. Is there any reason you wouldn't if it's for a job? I personally find that I can still even train at whatever heart rate I want on an ebike - you just end up accelerating much faster but depending on the local laws you may have higher top end speed on a regular bike (UK's limited to 15.5mph)
As a casual rider in Boston, I find it hard to believe how this guys blows through stop lights and stop signs like they aren't even there. Maybe things are different in NYC, but I'd be a hood ornament in Beantown if I tried that sh*t.
Es difícil encontrar.. diría que busques en eBay a veces aparecen ahí. La compañía de vessel no responden y si te responden se tardan demasiado. Mejor por eBay
I work for them. I create my own schedule basically.. I put my availability and they schedule me those days and hours I choose.. I can then swap shift if needed or add a few more. It’s pretty flexible
It seems that you haven't even wasted time to get a brake on the bike? In my home Denmark, with a hell of a lot of bikes, it is illegal to use a (new) bike without two brakes on the bike, and as the front brake is the most efficient, I would have chosen that one at least!!! Finn. Denmark
Maybe in some peoples eyes yes.. but for me I love riding my track bike. Less to worry about with something going wrong.. a bit more reliable.. and lighter.
@@sneekz07 lmao, I mean he could also just switch between fixed/single when living in a hilly area, I live in a crazy hilly area and I just power through all hills with my single speed
I see the whole #mailcarrier route dispensing going on a lot but in all honesty, I only use the fire department routes for myself & my ''Planet Wax'' squad of bike couriers coming out of ''PRO CITY'' #dataBikeMessenger #theraccoon

Wow that’s great! Haven’t had a Hungarian person comment yet I don’t think. That’s awesome to hear! Thank you for the support! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
I do it too but we are foodies not mess btw budapest messengers were on of the pillars of many central europe cities messengers
@@alvarotrujillo4048 Heres another!Greetings from Hungary!Great video,ill watch u!

Robin Williams was a raging alcoholic
No reason to speak ill of the dead.
@@REPLY34 his wife was abusive. Not his fault. He was a good man.
dude, I'd never tough that brooklyn such a calm place.
Some parts can be.
I like how your bag compacts for its size. The Ninja messenger backpack seems similar. slow roll and trash bags are both great sizable bags. Local made.
Yeah those are basically the same style bags. Super sick!
Im afraid to drive my car on Atlantic because it's so chaotic, props to you on a fixed gear.
Atlantic is super chaotic haha you’re right. Just gotta be hella alert 🤙🏼🤙🏼
noway i would ride a fixed gear 😳 sketchy stuff
The problem with car-based services is the car expenses eat you alive.
I use a combo u lock so I don’t have to carry a key and it’s faster just to flick a couple of numbers
Ahh.. I rather have the key but to each is own 👍🏼
So glad u found a job that u can share with us and enjoy :))) I’m excited for the new videos u have coming ps bananas help sooo much with leg cramps
Yeah dude! I’m excited as well! Will have more content coming more often now. I’ll keep eating them then haha thanks
Very beautiful work, I would love to work doing that in NY, but unfortunately I live in Chile.
Thank you! Try it out in Chile bro 🤙🏼
*Looked at a lot of options for getting my **Latest.Bike** . Great find in SAVA. Super light, nice components, really good value as it comes with many options only found in much higher priced bikes.*
Really interesting to see.
Always wondered how people do messenger jobs in this day and age
I’m starting to learn as I go but thanks man.
soon to be replaced by robots
Cool video. Good luck with the new job!
Thank you! 🙏🏼

I appreciate the feedback! And thank you for watching I’ll definitely keep that in mind once editing! 🤙🏼🙏🏼
Cool vid. What's the Blue circle on the handle bars ?
It's a quadlock for mounting your phone
is it illegal to have brake on your bike in nyc ? i never seen someone with them
And the store in the beginning was playing "Baba O'Riley" Iykyk.
This would be a dope series if you uploaded like every other day or even every day, just raw riding and delivering. Kind of like those people that work at an ice cream store or sub way lol. gl!
Yeah I think now that I’ll be riding more often I’m going to try and post more often.. idk about everyday but more often. Perhaps twice a week
Time for a sling bag bro :D The ones from Trash are siiiiiiiiiiick. Some of the JJ's messengers in my city use them.
I got a sling bag a few weeks ago! My next video coming this Sunday will have a quick review of it 🤙🏼

Francisco Borrero! He’s an OG at TH-cam messenger videos. And yeah that’d be dope I know exactly what you’re talking about haha
Onacomeupp does liquor delivery
excelente video como siempre, saludos desde México carnal.
Uy! Chevere gracias bro! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
pretty cool. we don't have anything like this in Detroit
Thank you! 🙏🏼

Just wondering what weight is the Vessel empty ?... I think the Chrome Warsaw 2.0 is about 5 lb
I’d say atleast twice as much as the Warsaw.. the vessel is a heavy bag alone with nothing in it.. but it’s also way bigger so depending on the load it’s worth carrying a heavier bag
Do you get a set pay, regardless of whether you do it faster or slower?
Yeah I do. Set pay
The packages are small what are you delivering please? It’s interesting like always.
It’s medicine. Sometimes I get bigger boxes but usually they’re small.
Oh okay prescriptions, makes sense.
Could you make a video on your body camera setup?
Not a bad idea! I’ll keep that in mind for sure! Thanks dude
Where did you buy your food bag?
What is in the packages and why do they appear to be the same?
It’s medicine 👍🏼
Cool side job! ...What if you have to go to the bathroom?
Why does it look like the handle bars are facing the opposite. Any who dope bike also wanted to ask wht size are the wheels they look thicker then the skinny ones.im lookin for some wider ones not to wide but wider then the skinny ones I have .
Watching the video so late but nevertheless congratulations on your new job and good luck.
Thank you 🙏🏼 much appreciated! more content is coming now!
pack on your back...where do u keep the bike lock when riding?
If I use a hip pouch then there if not then back pocket 🤙🏼
Hey man. Do you prefer the messenger bag over a bike basket or rack? Thanks
Yes I do.. but I’m not opposed to the bike basket or rack..
Great video 🤙 what bag are you carrying? What size tires are you running? What are you delivering that is so small and allows so many packages to fit in your bag? Keep the videos coming

Brother I have a question how do you know eqch address of where each medicine bag is going ?
Hi, Please let me know what's the cost of the bike and where I can get one that's similar? I'm looking for reliable and cheap options :) Thanks
😀
This bike is definitely reliable but I wouldn’t say cheap for your average bike.. to me it’s very worth it. it’s all been bought separately and built up.
Lookin good bro, when did you cop the Vessel?
Thank you! Maybe a year ago.. but for food I prefer the Warsaw.. so I never used the vessel.
Thanks for sharing this "day in the life" style video. Nice bike. Is it just a fixie or also single speed?
Thank you for the support! 🙏🏼 its only fixed.. 👊🏼
What Is that backpack brand amd where can I order one?
I figured everyone was using ebikes now. Is there any reason you wouldn't if it's for a job?

Which one is the best for the job : vessel or warsaw?
Buen video compa! What phone mount are you uso g and would you recoomend it? Thanks in advance.
Gracias!! Es un quadlock y si lo recomiendo mucho!
premium rush
what kind of bag are you using here?
This one is a vessel workshop
What size bike u riding?
As a casual rider in Boston, I find it hard to believe how this guys blows through stop lights and stop signs like they aren't even there. Maybe things are different in NYC, but I'd be a hood ornament in Beantown if I tried that sh*t.
Yeah you learn how traffic works in NY after riding here for some time but don’t get me wrong shit can still go left.. so
Always being careful!
NYC is definitely more bike friendly than Boston haha. But even then it doesn't get to the level of properly bike friendly cities like London.
How much is the delivery?
Watching here bro. Thanks
Thank you 🙏🏼
I used to work for alto pharmacy I’ve heard of capsules you got referrals
Yo congrats fam , make that lucrative paper
Donde compro la bag vessel?
Es difícil encontrar.. diría que busques en eBay a veces aparecen ahí. La compañía de vessel no responden y si te responden se tardan demasiado. Mejor por eBay
What were the products you were delivering?
Medicine
How many miles you ride a day on average?
Depends.. anywhere between 20-40 miles maybe
Congrats on the new job. Is this going to be your only job now? Do they pay you by the hour or by the delivery?
It’s not my only job haha by the hour.. I wouldn’t be able to live off this job alone haha but it’s good for content. Thank you! 🙏🏼
@@alvarotrujillo4048 it’s great content 🤙🏾
How wide are your bars mate?
64 across I believe
Great content, bro. Ride safe! 🤙
Much appreciated! Thank you!
Hey man, whats the company called? Looking to do something similar in LA
What seat do you use? Volt..?
It’s called koda.. that’s all I know.
@@alvarotrujillo4048 thanks man fun vidieos
Damn the infrastructure just isn't there
What handlebars are those?
For shred nitto bars! My favorite flat bars 🤙🏼
Would you recommend it?
It all depends on your spending.. I mainly do it for content.
@@alvarotrujillo4048 so you work for them or they offer you batches and you decide if you wanna take them?
I work for them. I create my own schedule basically.. I put my availability and they schedule me those days and hours I choose.. I can then swap shift if needed or add a few more. It’s pretty flexible
@@alvarotrujillo4048 super cool
You seen phillpe?
このbagはなんと言うbrandですか？
It’s called vessel workshop I believe they don’t make them anymore.
how much do u make s day.??..
Dude does this every day, I ride 5 miles and my ass hurts. And my saddle is padded
Not everyday anymore (working wise) but still ride everyday 10 miles a day, sometimes more.
Check out leather seats, that’s what saved my ass
Good stuff!
better to eat the bananna before the ride than after :)
Yeah definitely!

Great. Now you can hang out in the park and get drunk all day and tell people you've made enough for the day. 🤣
Haha I could.. but I’m good on that!
I've seen so many people with quad lock phone mounts but no phones. What gives
gta v missions as a irl job
Why fixed gear? Wouldn't gears be beneficial?
Maybe in some peoples eyes yes.. but for me I love riding my track bike. Less to worry about with something going wrong.. a bit more reliable.. and lighter.
Depends where you live. If you live in a flat area like this it's no problem. If you live in a more hilly area then you'd want gears.
@@sneekz07 lmao, I mean he could also just switch between fixed/single when living in a hilly area, I live in a crazy hilly area and I just power through all hills with my single speed
❤
I can't believe they made GTA III a real place wtf.
bonne vidéos
im finna be ur competition
Compete with yourself bro 🤙🏼 I’m sure you’ll kill it!
your gear is too big. it is more efficient to pedal fast using a smaller gear. aim for 90 rpm pedalling speed
You will see a man.
His name is "Onacomeuppppps……………"
Lol…
I see the whole #mailcarrier route dispensing going on a lot but in all honesty, I only use the fire department routes for myself & my ''Planet Wax'' squad of bike couriers coming out of ''PRO CITY'' #dataBikeMessenger #theraccoon
What backpack is that?
How much u make in a day
We don’t do it for the money - trust me. Ain’t no DJ Khaled out here.
Sooo not much 😂
