This one pictures tells a complete story, how a cycle can be put in best use but asking for more laburous effort. Who could have thought shopping delivery via a cycle? And that too in busiest and glamorous lifestyle city of Delhi. I ha e seen newspaper vendor, little street snacks counters on cycle. But making product delivery on a bicycle, never seen before, not even in my village. No doubt the need to make daily ends meet makes people to do extreme things. And this one such great example.
What more appealing to me is that in days where motorbikes, scooty, mini pick up trucks, etc were part of the delivery system. One guy is cycling through the street to deliver the customer products. He is doing his job but nobody will ask for the poor fellow effort and even care to ask a glass of water.
The incident is of today, when this guy came under our building. He asks me for some flat number and immediately caught my attention. I have seen other mode of delivering system even the electric bikes were used nowadays but not a cycle. At the time of timely delivery as promised by different online platform, this guy ensuring the big companies remain upto their deliverables through paddling his ways.
The guy is well built, and cycle is one from the old school. Mostly used in 80's & 90's and not even in good condition. It was carrying a heavy load at the back and also few bags on the handle bar. He delivers the product in random flats and moved over.
It is not such these delivery boys were limited to a particular apartments and blocks. They have specified area where they have to make their delivery. And this area may extend to many kilometer. My heart goes out to this guy who is making all the laburous effort to make timely delivery by cycling through the differrnt streets and crossing many traffics.
Last time I made a post on cycle I specifically mentioned that cycle are for the poor and this one is perfect proof to that.
Handling mobile at one hand, and paddling through the roads looking for the differrnt household address in differrnt locality. For sure he is strong enough to carry out the work load with so much ease. Delivery and thst too on cycle is not an easy job, but he is making his effort to ensures earning livlihood for himself and for his family.
Have you seen something like this before that tells a differrnt cycle story?
