This is a lot more entertaining than food delivery, because of time constraints, change of plans, the mystery of the package, etc. Also day and traffic. It's fun to watch for me.
Who'd have thought, a lad with a camera, a bike, and a great personality delivering goods would be so darn entertaining.....but I'm here for it. Nice one!
I concur vehemently :) I don't even watch TV anymore apart from the occasional live sports event. RUclips has enough way more interesting shit for me to watch for my next 100 lifetimes haha XD
Even when you’re against the clock and you’ve got multiple orders, you’re still so lovely with people and just get it done. Such a joy watching your videos
love love LOVE these parcel delivery vids, I would love to see more of them! not a lot of people on youtube are out here with that kind of content, and especially not with your skillful slick style. keep it up brother
I see you mention it can be more stressful. To me it appears much less. Not dealing with annoying long waits to pick up orders. Making sure to get to the customer and no tips, or find a drink has spilled. This is just getting used to managing the time. I find these here delivery videos much better to watch compared to food delivery. Yet again, another good video.
The reason the chain comes off is due to it being too loose. The added weight and or going over rough ground can cause it to come off. It may been to be adjusted or replaced. A good service will take care of that. Great videos keep it up 😎
This is definitely a fun watch, love seeing the places that people work and stuff like that. Suggestion: I don't know if it's at all possible, but could you put a Map/GPS on screen like if you were playing an MMO/Video Game? That way we could like see the roads, and see your choice of route along the way and stuff(just in the top or bottom right?). Like a transparent background GPS basically lol. I don't know how easy that would be to do tho so all good if not! Keep em coming!
@@0dinsonTBG Yeah for sure. I'm not entirely sure on the 'how' to be honest, it was just my selfish thinking really lol, I find myself looking at the map when I can to see the routes and such. Only thing I could think of (not knowing how GPS works at all tho) is that a secondary gps could be used to record the route and then be edited later (stop at the street rather than the building etc) then somehow put that on screen in the way I mentioned above?
these are much more fun to watch than the food delivery, the time constraint adds an element of danger haha, wouls be cool to see like a countdown clock in corner
Getting it in with gopher, I'd suggest removing a few links from your Chain until it sits nice and tense . Unless you can use some slack in the rear gear cables give them a quick check
Because of the high torque pulling through the chain , it will stretch it, gradually wear the derailleur, I had so many problems with my first e bike. Constantly having to change chains... All problems gone since I got myself a Rohloff belt drive, no cleaning needed, all smooth electric gear changing too. Highly recommend it. The other option is to upgrade to hard steel drive especially build for e-bikes
I love watching the street culture of London (ex: the man who steps out into the street infront of a car completly obscured and only 10m from a crossing, he must he had a death wish ;) ). You dont need to fast forward all of the routes you bike ;) Thanks for sharing, it's great fun to watch. Thanks for this upload and I love to see more like these aswell. Cheers!
I've always locked my D lock to the strap of my bag, it does hang down but yours doesn't look that big so it wouldn't get in the way. It means you lock it together and "put it away" in one go. Love the vids
As I’ve been cycling throughout London, in fact for most of my life, I use a sling messenger bag… Crumpler used to do one it was really big and yet was fitted to your back fairly easy and just swung round
I love your videos, found out your channel recently and I'm watching almost every video from the beggining and I must say Gopher videos are very cool cause they are so different. I also gotta say doing Gopher in e-bike seems bonkers to me in terms of reaching all places on time. Much easier on moped
As just some random Dutch internet guy that bikes quite a lot. You said something about your bike chain falling off quite often in the last couple of weeks. Most of the time this means that your bike chain is quite loose. Most of the time if you remove 1 singular bike chain link and then fasten the bike chain again it will off way less, and it will also bike nicer. Just my 2 cents.
Let's goooooo! Mate you should honestly start a podcast and also narrate audiobooks. I am a RUclips premium user and have your episodes running in the background. Listening to your soothing voice. 😂
I did over £320 in 5 hours in London. My Urban e-shifter can move 50kg at once, easy and goes like a rocket - unlike off the shelf e-bikes it has mental acceleration. Made 10 drops of 20 individual items and only one pick-up for the 20 items. Time constraint was 5pm but was done by 3pm all with sticking to the speed limit, just barely.
@@LondonEats Mate you're telling me! I'd literally sell my left leg to go to one of them boiler room sets with him! That Chinese guy jogging the decks though 💀 Also while you're here dude can I ask, I just ran a comparison for Niu insurance and am getting 570 fully comp or £375 tpft. I'm tempted to drop it down to third party fire and theft Uno as if anything cosmetic broke I'd probably buy replacement parts myself. How much was yours?
@LivingLifeLuke haha me and you both! And yeah that guy was annoying but fred was so chilled and he's response to him messing up the set was so humble 💪🏻 I take it that's a yearly quote your getting?? If so that's really good for fully comp as mine fully comp + food delivery insurance is nearly x5 that 🤯
@@LondonEats Yeah man that's true Fred again is just properly down to earth 💪 Ahh yes I've just realised I didn't put business insurance on! Also is £4999 the best price for one of the NIU cargo ER models? I was tempted to get a normal model as they can be picked up for around £3200 but obviously you can only install a small cargo box which may not be suitable for food delivery.
The chain comes off becauseof the rear suspension causing it to slap around alot you can either lockout the rear to stop it moving around so much in the town or you can change the rear derailleur to one with a clutch system which almost eliminates this problem I would say as it s quite new it's not down to a wore out driver train which can also he the problem but jot so much in this case
Back In The 90s,00s We Never Had GPS We Had To Know The Streets.. We Got Our Jobs Via Walkie Talkie And Pagers And Always Used An AtoZ... We Rode Fixies And Drunk Beer!
@rayblade6383 taking a parcel ect from somewhere in one city to somewhere else in the same city is messaging right? You usually had messengers do it?? That's all deliveroo and uber eats are, messenger services lol

I agree, but also because seeing the bags of food makes me hungry
Totally agree
Yeah I prefer these videos compared to the food ones
Definitely.

Thanks for the dedication to get this video up whilst on holidays! Enjoy the well deserved break and sunshine with your family 😊
Such a good idea for builders and tradesmen, it saves so much time and ultimately money.
This one had me cracking up! You’re normally so chill & zen… the city will send you insane, for real. 😂
So does making more money per hour in the morning lol
I always say it. The quality and production of your videos is top top tier. Channel goals 🔥

Brilliant attitude from this man, if only more young men in the UK had a similar way about them.

Takes me back over thirty years to my London despatch rider days. The prices don't seem to have improved that much but it still seems like fun.
Me too. About 20 years ago. Not sure how I would like the phone app doing all the controller work rather than the guy at the office on the radio.
Currently on a London Eat binge and I'm loving it!
Being a recreational cyclist/commuter, i love these vids. Also i find it really relaxing listening to your commentary 👌🏻
We need more parcel deliveries 👍

I’m surprised more people don’t get mown down by electric vehicles coz they don’t make hardly any sound
Your videos help me make it through my work day, keep the videos coming.
Haven’t been able to watch for a bit and mate so much change, NEW BIKE, NEW DELIVERY APP?! love it mate keep it up
Just found your videos and really enjoying them. Your timing on that knackered quote just as the hearse was driving by was awesome lol
The new bike looks awesome 💥
"Why am I letting it get to me, I know it's gonna be like this, stay calm" I'm gonna start using that one for myself
I wish there was a company like this in Canada. It looks amazing. Thankyou for the video
Fantastic just love watching your video well done and stay safe hope to be watching more. 👍👍👍
Great, I see London by bus, on foot, now by bike. Your video is just an excellent idea :)

Thats what I do with mine also best pllace for them I used to put it around the head tube but it wears away at the paint

Loving the variety.. days, nights, food, parcels. What’s next? Delivering people on the back of the Niu? A true Pro at work here. 😊
Watching you do deliveries makes me want to order food so these apps should definitely be sponsoring this content!
Quite relaxing watching this at 3am inbed
Who would of thought
You seem like a really sound guy. Love your videos.

Also if you get a derailure with a clutch you'll pretty much never have this problem.
In the last month or so i’ve watched all your videos and enjoyed every one! Keep up the good work and i look forward to your new content 👌
Can you make a playlist of the music that you listen while on deliveries? Sounds so fun
Hard working bloke well done
This fella has this all boxed of, well done to ya fella, i applaud you👏👏👏👏👏👏
Can you deliver in Oxford / Cambridge. that would be dope.
Let's goooooo! Mate you should honestly start a podcast and also narrate audiobooks. I am a RUclips premium user and have your episodes running in the background. Listening to your soothing voice. 😂
Wish we had that here. It would be great to run those items, I could run non fragile items faster.
The randomness of the packages are half the fun I think!
Another great video love your energy as always u just get on with it keep it up m8
Love watching you work. very entertaining
Diamond drill bits haha brilliant, Watch out for the Hatton Gardens they like drill bits lol
May be worth checking to see if the deraillieur has a small clutch lever on it, if so the chain will jump off if it is set incorrectly
The beef/pork/alcohol toggles are a good idea
love your channel very fast and challenging , keep it up bruv😄😄😄
Great Vid LE nice to see something slightly different, aside from the chain drop that bike is fine m8
On the food market , that yumbowl stall is 10/10 recommend it
This is so much more fast-paced than the food ones! 😅 I was on edge for most of it
hard working fella..with a fantastic attitude..best of luck to you mate..be safe
I used to drive a truck and i felt i wasn't being active enough, so i swapped jobs to doing multi drop van deliveries. Much better
One of my favourite channels
this is better for you i think ...not waiting on the food .time is money..good luck fella

Great video, very entertaining. It's interesting to see something other than food
Chain is too loose on your bike that is why it comes off, if there is the option to loosen the back wheel and pull it back a bit try that :)
You do a brilliant job you guys,great content,stay safe cheers!
Amazing video though bro. Really invaluable insight so thank you.
If your bike chain comes of pretty regularly, consider taking a link or two out of the chain, as it did look slack when you put it back on
Stay Safe , And Chill .
Brilliant, more vids like this please :)
Love the video bro! always.. you make it look so easy!
Another great video you actually look identical to the maintenance guy at the hotel im in right now almost was like could it be
Great video, mate 👍
I love all your content, but these videos are my favourite
Love your videos, very therapeutic, what lock do you use for your bike?
well put together video. Fair play to you and keep up the good work
I use to work Curtain Road EC2A back in the day👍
Man we need a screw fix here in the states, that stores setup amazing
Would love to know what bag that is.. looks awesome
Hi! Why use bag and not box or panniers attached to bike for comfier riding? Stops you sweating under the backpack too. Great vids, keep it up!
Grate video 👍,, the reason the chain ⛓ comes off is probably because the back wheel is to far in and it needs pulling back.
14:44 as a former cycle courier I would’ve done the same thing
Thank you
my man is playing death stranding irl, keep it up man
I read it as Delivering Diamonds & Bullets
This is like quest challenge lol

There’s a crossing right there mate 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
‘Shaddap! Ya noisy prick!’ 😂 I was singing into my screen ‘You’re in a cycle lane’ like that guy from NY does.
Brilliant content as always
How do you stay so calm cycling through London?
Lovely jobly!
Actually, doing a great job on time pick up is it good uniform is good as well. All you protected
There must be more efficient ways to get the bag and lock sorted!
that was pretty cool that
Love your Gophr video's
Sick video, I'm signing up

@@rayblade6383 Fudge knows I like to think that's the modernised term for it haha
You should get some smooth 4” tyres on the Fat Bike. Much more efficient on the road than knobblies 👍🏻
On the market for some now! Would definitely make a difference for range to!
Yeah the potholes everywhere in London love the smooths as well
Much better of with his grips his got
Especially when mounting up the kerbs
