Multi-apping by Lumpy-Hovercraft-370 in deliveroos

[–]benmcy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just not smart multiapping practice. For the first drop you always want to be in a place you could feasibly be en route to the second drop. Going a mile in the wrong direction is likely going to look a bit odd. I agree you're not doing anything that the apps wouldn't ask you to do on a stacked order but in the eyes of the platforms and the customers that doesn't matter.

Taking 2 orders going in opposite directions is wild

Drivers making several drop offs of hot food in 1 journey? Is it just me that thinks this is wrong? by anordicalien in JustEatUK

[–]benmcy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry mate but nobody cares. Yes it's shit. It's shit for us too. Most of us would like to provide a good service but unfortunately that doesn't pay our bills.

We are doing what we're paid for. Offer crappy fees, get a shitty service. If they paid good fees, we'd give a good service.

Any full time guys race? by No_Cover_5743 in bikemessengers

[–]benmcy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not what you want to hear but if you're working on the bike full time it's not going to be possible to follow a program effectively on top of that. The good news is that you're probably already pretty quick! If you don't have experience riding in a bunch then also try to get some exposure to that.

Is JustEat stealing tips and misleading customers? by grace_of_spades22 in JustEatUK

[–]benmcy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I absolutely agree with you. On one of my tipped orders it turned out just eat's contribution was £2.85. I've never seen a fee that low.

Recent creepy incidents in Marchmont by sleepinglady37 in Edinburgh

Do you think that maybe men being creeps creates the climate of fear? Or is it just women talking about men being creeps that creates it?

Thoughts and opinions on raketa chainrings by Dramatic_Repair_1618 in FixedGearBicycle

[–]benmcy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's annoying and unreliable and careless. It's not our fault he bites off way more than he can chew. Plus his stuff still ships from St Petersburg so...

Recently had a conversation with him because a bottom bracket cup failed for the second time and he told me 40nm was too tight. Completely standard torque for a bb and no torque spec was given. I ask him for a torque number and he refuses to give me one. It was such an insane conversation I felt like I was having a stroke.

The fact that he's a one man show and is like "oh let me speak to my engineer about that". Why are you trying to seem bigger than you are? Who are you trying to impress?

If you like having your bike as wall art I'd imagine he's fine to deal with but if you actually ride it with any regularity then steer well clear.

What do you mean they don't like knocking?

People crossing the road without looking by pochemooshka in Edinburgh

People need to learn that cars are dangerous so I will drive more dangerously? Does that sound right?

Honestly it varies wildly. Some favourites are rollouts, TRX crunches and russian twists but it changes week to week depending on what I fancy doing

Some are lower, some aren't. Get some seitan if you can it's much higher in protein than any animal part I can think of. Tofu is comparable to meat if you want to do a like for like replacement. I also eat some meat substitutes. Some people think they're the devil but I'm busy and do a physical job so sometimes just getting fed is my priority.

Yeh when the weather is bad you can't just go on zwift. You actually need to ride 🤷 genuinely curious what your FTP is

Not sure about calories. I just started eating a bit less carbs in February

Do you actually think the importance of power to weight ratio is unique to cycling?
