alt.cardiff hears how cycling can benefit the body – and wallet<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0food service Deliveroo brings restaurant food to customers’ doors and is\u00a0on the rise in Cardiff after more people are taking to their bicycles to earn wages and fit in an effective workout.<\/p>\n

Cardiff Deliveroo cyclists this month praised the company’s “independent contractor” standard which allows employees to work for a few hours during university or work breaks as self-employed deliverers, in effect.<\/p>\n

The \u00a3130 million company Deliveroo said that they currently employ 3,000 deliverers, and with the increase in independent employment and use of navigational apps, they\u00a0hope to\u00a0welcome even more deliverers by 2017.<\/p>\n

With orders peaking during\u00a0lunchtimes and evenings, students and young professionals who want to\u00a0exercise can get fit and earn extra money\u00a0during their lunch break or after work.<\/p>\n

I want to ride my bicycle<\/h2>\n

Clement has been cycling for Deliveroo for 13 months and enjoys combining employment with exercise on Cardiff’s flat, cycle-friendly roads.\u00a0“I work at an insurance company on Queen Street 9am-6pm, five days a week,” said Clement, 24.<\/p>\n

He added, “I don’t have time for the gym like I did at uni. But this is a good opportunity to earn\u00a0cash and keep active.” Deliveroo cyclists can earn between \u00a365-\u00a3110 per week for 9-15 hours (3-5 shifts) of work.<\/p>\n

It also saves on a gym membership, as Clement said, and having to work a shift is apparently a good motivation to workout even\u00a0when feeling tired or lazy.<\/p>\n
