KeymasterEnjoyed reading this again Radar. Do you think couriers have ‘eased off’ a bit on the riding style and hours in the saddle since then?

Not sure, the advent of modern communications and ever more economical deisel vans has marginalised the traditional courier. I rarely see one these days.
Still about in London and widely used for legal docs that have to be originals

ModeratorWatched a bit on telly this week about being a courier in London now…it is all twist and go Maxi scooters, Sat Navs and trackers now. Oh for the days of a beaten up CX and a pager!
