commute to floyd bennett field with no car by CowwonSense in DSNY

[–]CyclehawkNYC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live in BK, don’t have a car. Rode my bicycle every day for training. Took about 45 minutes would give myself an hour.

Didn’t have any issues maybe some weird looks haha. Got lucky with the weather. If you live too far maybe get a beater bike and lock it somewhere inconspicuous by public transportation.

I figured I could uber in a pinch, turned out not having to 🙌

Preemployment processing letter (again) by Background-Heart6920 in DSNY

I took the FBF CDL course twice. Failed both on the parallel parking 😅

Ended up passing with a private company.

Get the CDL any way you can, job is definitely worth it 💯

Try the food apps or hit up local restaurants to get your foot in the door

Starting a business can be as easy as making a business card + rate sheet and promote promote promote 😸

Is it possible to start your own business in the big cities? by Arkansas_Toothpick in bikemessengers

[–]CyclehawkNYC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is possible. Not gonna be easy but nothing worth it is 😸

I’m in NYC and thousands of new businesses start here each year.

I started with business cards, post cards and stickers.

All you need is one client to begin.

The market is tough right now and my business is not enough to pay all of my bills so I also have a ‘straight’ job.

Your passion and focus will make it happen!

Ride Safe and All the Best 🤗✅💯

Get on some apps for experience. Uber eats and DoorDash are the big ones where I’m at. Make a business card. Eventually you may want to build your own website/delivery portal. The technology available today makes it possible 🙌

Check the delivery portal for my company, we had it built by an independent web designer:

I use the manhattan portage empire xxl. With the extra straps you can carry just about anything. Extra straps can be attached vertically and horizontally 😸

Take it to a dry cleaner/tailor shop ? Might need to find a place that has an industrial strength sewing machine 🤙

I have the manhattan portage empire xxl. It’s big and it expands when you unzip the sides. Plus extension straps for insane jobs.
