Why become a Runner?

Working as a Runner is a great extra/freelance job for many reasons:

  • You make people very happy. A lot of your customers are in a pickle when you get to them. They are dependant on your bike, and for them it’s not just a bike. It’s the way they can get home, and pick up their kids today. So you are not just patching a bicycle – you are saving their day! And they are usually very happy and thankful, and very happy you came:-) 
  • If you are using your bike to get around as a Runner it’s a great way to get fresh air and exercise while helping others and making money. 
  • If you are good with bikes and punctures, and can patch any bike in 5 minutes – it will be an easy and fast way for you to make extra money:-) Also – if you are really good at seeing other problems with the bike, and guiding the customer – you can also make more money on an order by suggesting other repairs. 
  • You are also helping the environment – when a person can get their flat tire fixed fast that means they don’t have to use their car for a week before it’s fixed. And most bike shops in Denmark don’t even do patches anymore, which we think is dumb. It doesn’t make sense to force everybody to “buy new” if it can be repaired. 

But most of all – the job as a Runner offers total flexibility and freedom for you:

  • You always decide yourself where you want to work (“your zone”), and how far you are willing to go to get to a bike. 
  • You always decide yourself how much you want to work, and can always accept or decline any task. 
  • Besides our “standard menu prices” you are free to set the prices on any extra services you perform. 
  • You don’t have to ask for vacation or sick-leave, you control your own availability through our Runner app. 
  • The job can be combined with any other job or studies, and you can work more some periods, and less in others how it suits you.
