Someone very pithy once said that doing what you love means that you will never have to work another day in your life. That is an overstatement. However, there are publications such as HuffPost that say that there are real benefits to doing so. If you enjoy bicycling, it makes sense for you to look for a job that requires it on a regular basis. Fortunately, there are more options in this regard than most interested individuals would expect.
1. Advertise While Bicycling
Chances are good that you have heard of people putting advertisements on their cars, so it isn’t a huge jump to people putting advertisements on themselves while they ride around on bikes. The idea sees interest for a couple of main reasons. First, someone who rides around on a bicycle while wearing a mini-billboard will be seen by more people than a stationary sign, which means an increased generation of sales leads. Second, such sights are eye-catching because they are so novel. Something that is extremely important when most people have become so jaded towards conventional advertising. On top of this, advertising while bicycling is even eco-friendly.
2. Help People Move While Bicycling
Generally speaking, when you think of moving, you think of people loading the contents of a home onto a truck. However, a full-fledged truck can be overkill for people who aren’t bringing a lot of things with them for whatever reason. As a result, there are moving companies that offer movers on bicycles for short-distance moves within the same city. These people can make surprisingly good time, particularly if they are operating in congested urban areas.
3. Show Tourists the Sights While Bicycling
If you are fond of your local area, you should consider becoming a bike tour guide. In some ways, it is the same as being a standard tour guide. For instance, you will be expected to show tourists shops, restaurants, and other sites of interest. In other ways, it can be very different. After all, everyone will be riding a bicycle. Due to that, you won’t be going into detail about every single attraction on the way. Instead, you are more meant to give your clients a general sense of your local area.
