Re: Bike-based courier or delivery service
Thanks very much for the really interesting insights, links and opinions everyone. I'm heading for retirement and looking at different options for staying active, being helpful locally - and maybe getting paid a bit to augment my pension.

Bike-based courier or delivery service

The lockdown has made me wonder if there is scope for a bike based ...

Cargo bike vs trailer
What would be best for the job of hauling say deliveries around relatively flat urban/suburban areas, a cargo bike or a road bike with decent open trailer? The latter is prob the cheaper option, plus you have a more rideable bike when you're not 'working'. What advantages does the cargobike have?

Re: Flat bar conversion
I just had the brilliant brainwave to google Sora flatbar shifters (durr) and can see that they are available.

Re: Any Information about improving hill-climbing ability
A couple of bits of advice given to me many years ago that I found helpful: Take in the top and select the gear you want to be in when you get there. Ideally you don't want to want to be changing on the ascent. Stay in the saddle for as long as you can. Pedal heels down, hands together in the centre...
