Non-motorized deliveries

I spotted this cyclist apparently en route to a delivery. It is nice to see bicycles being used for deliveries anywhere.

Fast food delivery can definitely be done using bicycles especially in service areas or neighborhoods where their use is very suitable.

I have seen only a few of these services using bicycles so far and its probably the same guy on the same bike. I have also seen at least a McDonald's bike and maybe a few with Grab and Lalamove. These are rare sightings, however, and so not many establishments have been using bicycles yet in our area or elsewhere where I've been since the easing of the quarantine. I hope these catch on and there will be more bicycle deliveries for food and other items. Of course, its more convenient for couriers to use motorcycles instead as they are faster and won't tire their riders. No matter how strong the rider is, he will wear down if he has to deliver quite frequently during his shift.
