- A Day In The Life of an Uber Eats Bike Driver 🤩
A full 9-5 shift from the perspective of an Uber Eats driver on a bike in Ottawa, Canada. This was an amazing day. I had so much fun, and it was so busy, but man was it tiring. Crazy respect to people that do this job every day! This ride had everything. In the morning it was coffee order after coffee order mainly in Downtown and Centretown. In the afternoon, the Panda Football game between University of Ottawa and Carleton University had so many kids out partying and with that came mobs of police. In the student neighbourhoods there were patrols of cops on literally every corner. Everyone was very friendly to me tho! What a great way to spend a Saturday. Thanks to everyone for watching!

Another great video! I just started delivering this past weekend after watching your other videos, and it got me riding to all new places around my city. It's a really great way to spend your time on a bike and give purpose to your ride. Much more motivating then riding the same routes, and the whole making money part isn't bad either! Keep it up, hope you get in at least a few more weeks of riding before winter!
I feel the exact same way - getting paid to ride and explore your city with a purpose! Thanks Potato - you too!
As a Nigerian seeing you going to deliver from a Nigerian resturant made my day.. also as an Uber eats bicycle rider In Toronto this made my day! Keep making these vids man!
Same!!! Definitely need our own community 🙌🏾💯
Thanks Dre! Gotta get back on the bike.
Fantastic! Thank you - great production and really compelling story.
Hey man great video thank you for the info. Jst wanted to know what bag you purchased off of amazon
Awesome video! I noticed that in my market the most busy hours are lunch and dinner hours which is 11am - 2pm for lunch and 5pm - 9pm for dinner so doing a 9-5 shift over here wouldn’t go as well
Agreed tbh. Those are my busy hours too. I just wanted to see if it was viable!
Wow, the production value is quite impressive. Even better finding out you're Canadian (like me!) I appreciate the demonstrations and the edits. I plan on delivering with my bike as well. Questions for ya, do you leave your bike locked nearby restaurants or destinations, and if so - where do you store your lock when you've picked up an Order? I purchased a separate lock for when I start delivering, and I guess I'll store it inside of the Uber Eats bag? Great idea with the blanket, seems to add some cushioning, although might add to the weight of the bag, especially when riding a bike which in your case, appears to be a standard road bike and not an e-bike like many Uber Eats cyclists use. A bit uneasy about brining my bike inside of the apartment and elevators, but we'll see if I run into those issues once I start Ubering! :)
Hey Jaden! Thanks for watching / commenting. Stoked for you to start delivering soon. To answer your questions - when I have to leave my bike outside, I lock it as close as I can to that building. And when I am delivering, I keep the food on the bottom, then the blanket, then the lock on top to weigh it down. It all adds weight but your legs get used to it - it's really not that heavy tbh. And yea - I like to bring my bike inside sometimes. I'd rather carry it up stairs or wait for the next elevator than be panicking that it will get stolen. All depends on the area you're delivering in and how much you trust your bike won't get stolen :)
hey from the uk! we've got the same bag! I just started so it's good to know it lasted you a couple years. I own an electric bike and it really helps with the hills we have round here, still a single speed and still a workout though :)
Hey nice! Awesome to hear - thanks for commenting. Yeah that bag is solid. I would buy again in a heartbeat.
I use to do this downtown Toronto full time. I know how it is. I thank you for sharing how we cyclist earn while we get paid to do what we love!!
Love it man - gotta get back out there!
love the long form content!
Thanks Faith!
i live for this type of content i swear
So proud of you bro God bless you 😊
Loved your content bro. Have you ever been to Gaitneu for deliveries, are there enough orders when taking Ottawa and Gatineau as a whole? I am planning to study in Algonquin next year and have planned to do part-time uber eats on e-bike. One more question is Ottawa safe during dark hours for Uber eats?
Thank you man! I have never delivered In Gatineau before but Downtown Ottawa is not far away - just across the river. But there are lots of orders in Ottawa to make some good money. And yes - Ottawa is safe after dark - the byword market can be sketchy at times but as long as you keep moving and lock your bike properly, you will be good!
Awesome vid man, you are inspiring :D
Great video dude.
hey bro love your video you deserve more subs. take care always!
Thank you g!
Great vid, Does the seating position of a road bike cause problems? Your more hunched over than an e bike. spilled drinks ?
Thanks! Rarely the drinks spill because I use the blanket to wrap them/suppress them in the bag.
I do this
Most recently in Burlington, VT. A gig job that's harder than it looks at first but I'm getting better at it!
Keep it up!
Awesome gonna do it😊
Way to troubleshoot and keep the day going! Nice video!
Thanks mate!
Great vid man. Well done
Thanks mate!
I'm also a Food delivery (Grab) 😁rider here in the Philippines. Shout out from Philippines❤ ride safe, Brother 😁👌
Bro you re amazing . You are the very smart person that I have seen 🎉
ty g!
What do you do to maximize the number of delivery requests you receive when the uber eats app prioritizes deliveries done in a car over deliveries done on a bicycle? Is there anything you can do to level the playing field with vehicles?
Quality Vid my man!
Thank you SJ P! Appreciate it!
how does it handle with drinks in the back pack.?
This was great. Whats the towel/sweater for exactly? Just keeping stuff in place i assume?
Thanks for watching! Yeah i use the blanket/towel to keep stuff in place while it's in my bag during riding. Less chance of it moving around/falling over
@@singlespeedeats745 thanks for the reply! Hope to see more vids soon. Take care and God Bless!
Dude 60km!!😂 Legend.
I love the editing- four screen/ four orders at a time was a cool shot.
Nice on the fly bag repair. Will you wear it till it dies midride? Any guesses on what the order will be when the bag finally fails? McFlurries everywhere!!!!😂
Also, new bar tape? 🎉
😂 McFlurrie's.. it will definitely be a big bag full of Starbucks coffee. I'm in the habit of picking the bag up with the crappy strap so it'll go eventually.
No new tape. It's held up at Santa's workshop.
Best video yet!
Wooooo! Thanks!
What kind of blanket is that? Do you use it to help insulate the food to keep it warm and keep everything in place so it doesn't shake as much? Thanks!
No special kind of blanket. Just an old one we use to use on the couch haha. I use it mainly to minimize how much the food/drinks move around in my bag like you said! Some people use insulated blankets to help with temperature regulation but I don't bother.
@@singlespeedeats745ohhhh, okay lol, that was a good idea. thank you for letting me know! Yeah, I think it's a better idea to mainly use it to keep everything in place. I'm sure the bag itself helps with temperature. Thanks again! Have a great one!
@@BlueFaint305 Thanks super - you too!
Love your delivery book bag may I get a link to where you purchased it from
In the description!
I hate these restaurants sealing coffee in the bag because I like to put my lid tape on the cups so no spills
Ahhh interesting. You use your own tape to seal it?
I also deliver on uber can u give me a link of the backpack you are using and the helmet which you wear to deliver food
Meanwhile in montreal im getting 10-15$ orders at 3.8x boost these pas couple of months
How do I add bicycle to my uber and ubereats profile? I use a car which is out of order for a few weeks. So I want to be able to try my bike.
I am not sure. I imagine somewhere in the settings or I would contact Uber!
Hey serious question do you know if I can get hired without a valid driver's license. I have a learner's permit. I'll get a regular state 🆔🪪 if I have to.
To be honest I am unsure, but if you are on a bike, you may not need a driver's license! Should say on the uber driver's app when you sign up.
how's it using a road bike? Ive seen most use ebikes for the speed and ease
I prefer the road bike but then again, I have never tried an e-bike. I think with an e-bike, you could be out for much longer.
I have already UBER trip/order cather 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
lol, I live in Brazil and almost all days I do around 50/60km of base training on my gravel. I started wondering if instead do that only for fitness purposes, I could do too to make an extra money.
It seems like you use a fixie. Not too much hills in your city I guess?
Can be fairly hilly in parts but it depends on the route you choose
Very inspirational
Respect to you sir 🚴
Thank you OG🙏🏼
Is that a single speed? You resisting the ebike? Ottawa must be pretty flat!
ALways resist the E-bike. There are some hills but we try to avoid them!
@@singlespeedeats745 Normal bike means freedom, off grid is good, keeping it real
this was a great uber eats video. i do uber eats in new york city. what city are you working in?
Thank you! I deliver in Ottawa!🇨🇦
I've been on the fence about delivering on an e-bike. After watching your video I think I'm gonna pull the trigger.
Do it up man! It's a lot of fun. Happy riding :)
Is necessary to take ur bike in every building with you
Pull it
What kind of bike do you recommend for delivery? A single speed or a 8-10 speed
Either work! I have both but only ride single speed for this channel.
@singlespeedeats745 gotcha thanks for the reply I currently have a 8 speed folding bike great handling but medium top speed but been considering starting to do deliveries
Do it mate! I think that bike will do great.@@patricioacevedo6488
Do u leave ur bike outside when picking up orders
yes
I'll bet you burned off most of the pizza with all the biking afterwards lol.
most definitely!😂
what if i already signup ? what can i do to use your code to sign up again ?
don't think you can mate
No gloves? I tried 3 days with uber on my ebike and it kicked my ass. Its a young man's game. It also routed my wierd send me to inefficient routes having to backtrack. Also why wear the helmet without strapping it?
When was I wearing the helmet without strapping it?
Good video
u can't be serious it's not easy work. To be honest it is quite easy, i've been doing food delivery now for almost 2 years here in Copenhagen where I live, I work for a company based in Finland (their also located in different countries such as Japan, Germany, Israel, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Croatia, Serbia, Georgia, Greece, Slovakia, Slovenia, Cyprus, Malta, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan.) called Wolt where they have the same system as uber eats where u can go on and off when u want and I also bike around and to be honest its not that difficult, u don't need some special education / degree to do this job, any idiot can do what we do it's not that hard, sure their are times when nothing much happens i agree then again it's like that with most jobs not only food delivery but also working as a waiter at a restaurant, working at a retail store selling clothes, shoes, watches etc etc... their are time when customers won't go into the store to buy anything or just walk around and leave again so yea theirs that aspect of it being dead at time. All i'm saying is working in this business yes it's tough, requires lots of energy to bike around long hours and kilometers but other than that the work is really easy. As i mentioned before any idiot can ride a bike, use a smartphone so it's not like it's the most difficult job in the world.
nice video dude
Thank you!
💥💥💥 Banger
Thanks!🤘🏼🤘🏼
I live in Ottawa, and it kinda looks good on video but not so much in real life
Lol. You live downtown area? Glad it looks good on video.
@@singlespeedeats745 Westboro, but occasionally go downtown for work. It's probably the video quality that makes it look better than irl lol
@@josh-bs1vq I find the GoPros punch a lot of color and it makes it look a lot more colorful than it actually is
How many miles do you average a day?
I'm in Canada so I use kilometres. I usually average about 20-25 kilometres per hour so 12-16 miles per hour!
@@singlespeedeats745 wow, that's a lot of mileage..lol.. thinking about doing UberEATS on bike myself,thanks for the feedback..great content by the way!👍
@@jouster909 Thank you mate. Get out there and safe riding!
What is the speed limit to deliver on a bicycle? MPH?
Not really a speed limit.. I guess the same as cars?
@@singlespeedeats745 yeah
@@singlespeedeats745 I deliver in a car using a bicycle account, so I’m wondering what’s the fastest I can go? lol
@@leoSGVibrato Lol Im not sure - thats funny though. I imagine they won't flag you for going too fast i.e. cause you're in a car.. safe driving!
@@singlespeedeats745 They flagged a few deliveries for going too fast, so I’m driving slower now lol
I am brazilian and i need a piece of that pie.
I'm doing the same thing you're doing, but I'm walking. 😅
From, Malaysia. 🍻
Awesome!!
Nice video
Thanks!
Tried it and only got offered $3 orders. contemplated life
ran a red bro im calling cops
Hello po ☺️
mess greetings from germany
My guy needs an e bike
single speed all the way bro
$21.99 an hour, nice.
❤🎉
Can't believe, taking very low pay orders, 5 bucks if and accident, cost from 3 to 50 thousand or more if surgery or hospitalization needed it is just not worth it. Is people desperate for money or they just don't know what are the doing?
What? Lol
You should get paid for waiting. thats ridiculous.
I believe you do if im not mistaken
How you get paid only for the order you do
@@poochmmii You don't on Uber Eats.
*Bike carrier/bike messenger (cough cough)
I guess bike carrier works..
Very nice earnings
