Bicycle Courier Company Cape Town

[Simpy]

Does one exist? Has one ever existed in Cape Town? Would there be a demand for a service if someone started one?

[The OriginalSpartacus]

Hey Simpy! did you find out more info? I am seriously considering starting one up..

[Eddy Gordo]

Apparently there was one. Someone told me about it 2 or 3 years ago as I was also considering this. They mentioned it wasnt economically viable, but I still dont see why not. Look into it, as it is a good idea to get docs across town etc

Had very serious invovlement in Peddlers in the late '90's.

It wasn't hugely economically viable but we had all the best clients and for a while we had great riders, it then became harder and harder to find quality riders with integrity and the service levels slid a bit.

It was an awesome time and an awesome job, it just didn't pay very well, if you can work out a way to get the competitive spirit going in the riders, pay them decent amounts and get clients to pay you real money you'll be doing well. Bloody hard though.

I think there was one called Stallions - sounded like a male escort agency. It was based in Gardens.

I managed to find contact details for Stallion Bicycle Couriers in Cape Town - City Bowl. going to give them a call later.

[TitusTi]

Indeed, Stallions, our gayer rivals, had a very brief race series against them, it was one-sided! The actually rode around in cycling kit! Do you have any idea how much people don't want to be handed things by people wearing cycle kit?

The used to be based in Bree street, last I checked Micha just kind of drifted off.

Peddlers was sold to City Sprint who just hired very (very!) slow people.

Ah yes, peddlers, the good old days. There was no better training as a student while getting paid a little. There were some tough dudes riding there.
