So you're a bicycle courier?

You might not want to do this job in New York any more!

NYC are getting serious about commercial delivery bike riders. What happens in America...

edit: it seems new laws have been passed.

Not quite what we think of here as a bicycle courier - the ID card even has a space for restaurant name and address!

Good to see this though:

Oftentimes employers demand rapid delivery speeds that push commercial cyclists to break the law, running red lights or going the wrong way down one-way streets.

Not really a cycle courier, as he doesn't go to a random location to pick up then deliver to another location, and seems to deliver only one sort of item. Eg, pizza delivery motorbike riders aren't called couriers. But that law seems to apply to all "commercial" cyclists.
