Hi

I'm trying to find a job as a bike courier near and in Guildford but I'm having real trouble. Does anyone have any websites or similar to help me out?

Thanks

I have never seen a single bike courier in the area.

Plenty in west London though. What about looking round there instead?

I would but I'm at college at the moment so it's not really plausible. I was afraid that was the answer I may get. It's the only job I think I would actually be good at and enjoy at the moment, though.

There's really only a call for cycle couriers where they would be significantly quicker than the motorised equivalent - which basically means large, congested cities. I don't think Guildford really fits that description.

Gap in the market? What about appealing to the greenies who have businesses in the area. You would be offering something new to them and not everyone needs a package delivering within minus 12 minutes. I am sure you oculd drum up enough interest to set something small up yourself?
