Hello All,
I am new to this forum. I am a student, currently living in Espoo. I love cycling and am prepared for winter cycling this time. I spent a good amount of time in cycling. I was thinking earning some money from my hobby. For example, bike messenger.
Does anybody have any experience in this matter? Any other suggestions are most welcome.

I asked a similar question here.
Hope this helps. I haven't pursued the idea further yet, but you should!

Hi Again,
Haha, a coincidence in fact. I watched the movie 'Premium Rush' today and some 'bike-messengers of New York' videos. Seems that these messengers have no rules in NY. In the Helsinki area the bike-messenger culture must be different from NY.

Thanks for the link. It seems that life is hard for such people. But if this job is taken as a sports then we could enjoy our work as well. By the way, did you get the job?rider1000 wrote:I asked a similar question here.
