How to do doordash with a bike

As bicycle and urban transportation fanatics, we recently got interested in how to make money with your bike, after watching a movie called “Quicksilver” staring Kevin Bacon from 1986. This enticed us to create a detailed article on “How To Deliver Postmates On Bike And Make Money!”. Which by the way was so popular that we decided to create another one, “How To Deliver Doordash On Bike”, that you are currently reading.

There are many mixed reviews online about Quicksilver, with many people either hating the movie, or loving it just like we do. But, no matter how you feel about the movie, it definitely has an interesting story line.

Check out this cool Quicksilver intro race clip:

Quicksilver is about an up-and-coming broker named Jack Casey. In the beginning of the movie, he offers money to a cab driver if he can beat a bike messenger in a race, which ends with the bike messenger winning by a long shot.

After exiting the cab, Jack Dorsey doesn’t think anymore about bicycle messengers until one day, he loses everything on the stock market. With all his money gone, including his parents retirement that was used to fund his entry in to stock trading, Jack Casey does the unthinkable. He purchases a bicycle and becomes a bicycle messenger in San Francisco.

Jack Casey loves riding his bicycle all over hilly San Francisco, until he is targeted by Gypsy, the street pusher who has the messengers run drugs for him.

We’re not going to disclose too much about how the movie ends, because we don’t want to ruin it for you, as we highly recommend you watch it. But, it does provide a great idea as to how to make money with your bike.

A lot has changed since then as we now have smart phones and a larger variety of bicycles to choose from.
