I just got a bike messenger job. I've biked all my life for transit/commute but never anything too hardcore.

Any tips? I'm going to pick up some cycling shorts, any other equipment I should have?

I looked into the uberrush thing, you're honestly not making minimum wage

So there is a lawsuit saying that jobs that require you to have your own tools (auto mechanic, construction worker)/l have a separate min wage

Uberrush is arguing that a car and bike are not tools required for a job as a driver....in short you're being ripped off

But then it will either never get used or get really hot.
