for a delivery that might take half an hour, and some customers don’t even leave a tip.The truth is that we are a vulnerable and underappreciated population on the best of days. For one thing, Manhattan’s tight geography means the most time and cost-efficient way to do delivery is by bicycle. We have to ride quickly if we want to make a living wage — whether it’s a pandemic or a blizzard. But this makes New York’s delivery workers uniquely vulnerable.
Even without a pandemic, we face death in the streets. Last year was the deadliest year on record for New York City cyclists in nearly two decades: Out of the, at least seven were delivery cyclists.
