Hello readers! I will not apologize for the time out I took from writing :)
I recently started being an UBER driver in Bucharest. This occupation gives me ten's of reasons to write again. The headline it is not a click bait. True story, beside Uber drivers that transform into classic taxi drivers - that will be another post - in traffic, nowadays you can see food delivery guys on bikes. Totally normal, nothing to criticise. I am a bike geek, used to be actually...
These m#_#&# f£&#&#er biker wannabe boys that deliver food around town improvised small engines for their bicycles...yep. There are a lot of cars in traffic that polute the atmosphere, and you spot a little cloud of blue sky coloured smoke from a small engine fitted on a regular bicycle. And the only safety gear that they have is that big bag on their shoulders which they carry the food. No helmet, no knee safety, nothing.
I call it the money hunger games when I see them passing on red lights at any given crossing, overtaking cars on the third lane, not giving a f££k about the others. They should definitely be checked out by the police because those kind of bicycles with real termic engines were popular back in Ceausescu era, that is over for a long time now. I hope that they are saving money for buying an electric bicycle :)
And one last thing. If you order food and the order is not delivered, just so you know....maybe the delivery boy or girl was a little bit hungry and really liked what you ordered!!! True story: one of them told me that on his way back home he takes a nice big fat order payed by card and goes straight home...reporting in the app that the client did not respond at the delivery call. And he takes a free meal once or twice a week :)
They figured it out somehow!!!
When you see a big yellow/green/ red bag in front of you in traffic please go around them and be very careful because they do not now what they are doing!
I will later edit this post with a relevant live picture with one of the real food biker boys... unfortunately only this guy in the photo passed by me while writing this post. Kudos for him because he is equipped like a pro!
