Bike Delivery Overview
Bike delivery—also known as bike courier or bicycle messenger service—is a method of transporting items such as documents, food, packages, or other small goods using bicycles. It’s especially effective in urban environments where traffic congestion and parking limitations hinder larger vehicles. Bikes offer agility, lower environmental impact, and often shorter, more predictable delivery times.
