Hi Manu, if you want to work as a courier you will need your own bicycle. Its also unlikely that a company will take you on for only one month but you can always give them a call and ask.

Depending on who you work for you get a ‘safety net’ payment of around $17 an hour, also depending on age, with the chance to make quite a bit more than that as you improve. Each package is priced differently and you get around 50% of the package price. If at the end of the day you make more than your safety net then you are starting to do well.

The good riders are earning upwards of $200 a day, although some days will be quiet so it’ll be hard to make that kind of dosh.

Hi Luke, yes, same Perth. Give CTI a call, Mercury manage the bike fleet and they are nearly always hiring. Right now is a good time with the build up to Christmas. Ask for Chris on (08) 9328 1999. Good luck buddy, its a fun job, you’ll love it.

Hi Andrey, I just asked a couple of messengers I saw on the streets and found out which company was hiring. This was in Perth though and not London. I’m guessing its the same deal though. Sorry I can’t be of much more help.

Hi,
How do you get bike messenger job?
I tried calling major companies adviced on this site http://www.londonmessengers.org/FAQ but had no luck.
Is there any other ways?
I thought of calling every company on Yellow pages that offers same day delivery service but will leave as a last option.

Ah, I got the comments system working finally. Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to post a comment Mathew, you’re advice is appreciated.

I’ve been working for two weeks now and I’ve decided to start by upgrading my work bike, keeping the MTB and just making it run much better. The main reason is that so much of my work is in the main strip of the city where jumping up and down curbs makes things a lot quicker, so an MTB is perfect.

Good advice on the eating and drinking, although I don’t find the time to eat properly. I just ride hard all day, getting water down me when I can and munching on a sandwich or energy bars as I go, sometimes as I ride between jobs. Its pretty full on. I love it though.

Just a quick test post, the comments system wasn’t working for a while so I couldn’t reply…

I did the dream-job-courier thing in London for about a while, until some sweet design freelance came up with a day rate that would have taken me a week on the bike.

Would recommend getting a road bike though. I did it on a ridged MTB with slicks, but the roadie I have now would have made it much more fun.

Also recommend eating and drinking lots. 9 hours a day on a bike is rather good at burning energy!

Good luck with it.
