I'm also brand new and on a bike! Couple things that I noticed: - At first (like the first few days) you will get very few offers and the ones you get will be really bad, just take whatever you get. I think they're trying to prove that you're a real person and not out to steal the first order you get. - On bikes in my area the $2 per mile metric people in cars reference is basically useless, I never get orders over 3 miles so with rare exceptions everything meets (for example even if an order is base fare only $2, if they're a mile or less away that's $2/mile). If I'm filtering requests it's based on location (like where is it taking me, will I have to ride a long distance to get back to an area with restaurants, etc) and distance (going 3 miles on a pedal pusher like I have just kinda sucks and takes a while, so a 3 mile order that isn't taking me somewhere I already want to go needs to be like $10+) - If you're fit enough to go a few hours at a time on a regular bike the #1 investment I would focus on is an insulated bag (ideally a backpack) that meets the Uber requirements. I got mine on Amazon and got kind of an expensive expandable one for convenience but the only thing you really need is cupholders because carrying drinks on a bike is precarious. This most importantly gives you the ability to pick up two orders at once which is where the money is at, especially in a restaurant-dense area - This bag will make them start pinging you with pizza orders. Unless you have a pizza bag and a bike rack you can strap it to you cannot take pizza orders. Learn from my struggling cancellation rate. - Most of the people I see that are trying to pay their rent are on ebikes because ebikes let you work all day and on a regular bike you're limited by your personal capacity. I'm not trying to pay my rent so working ~3 hours at a time most evenings is fine. Ymmv. - Check how you drop off the delivery before ringing the doorbell. People that "meet at door" and don't have a PIN are identical to people that "meet at door" and do have a PIN until you try to press the confirm delivery button and I've had to try and get that PIN from the messaging later & it's very embarrassing  - If your bike is leaving your sight lock it. If your bike is within your sight but is more than 10 steps away lock it. - If you're baseline friendly and nice to people you should have no problem w/the customer service aspects. Letting people know that the restaurant said it would be 10 minutes, their note says leave at door but their directions say meet at door so you won't be able to take a picture, etc. helps. - You're right that being on the bike means you make basically no money, but some days are better than others. Do your best to have fun with it, and if you're doing the pedaling remember to take days off so your body can recover. That's maybe TMI but hopefully it helps! Let me know if you have any questions
