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 theirbike, 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 the Netherlands 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 or non-standard services you perform. 
• You don’t have to ask for vacation or sick-leave, you control your own availability through the 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.
