Bicycling Side Hustles
In recent years, more and more people are looking for creative ways to earn extra income, and one way to do so is through a side hustle. A side hustle is a way to make money outside of your regular job, and it can be an excellent opportunity to turn your passions and hobbies into a profitable business.

If you are a cycling enthusiast, you can use your bicycle to start a side hustle and earn extra income. A bicycle can be a versatile tool for running a business, and it can be used for various purposes, including delivery, transportation, and tours.

My side hustle is this blog. I don't make much money from it but, after 50 years of cycling, I am passionate enough about to write about all topics about bicycling. If it gets more traffic it could become a serious side hustle but I really doubt that will happen any time soon.

Here are some tips on how you can use your bicycle to create a successful side hustle:

Delivery services: With the rise of online shopping, there is an increasing demand for delivery services. You can use your bicycle to provide a reliable and eco-friendly delivery service to local businesses or individuals. Some popular delivery services you can offer include food delivery, grocery delivery, and package delivery. You can partner with local businesses or use platforms like Uber Eats, DoorDash, or Postmates to find customers.

Transportation services: Another way to use your bicycle to make money is by offering transportation services. You can provide bike taxi or bike messenger services to people in your community. This can be a great way to earn extra income while staying active and helping the environment. You can promote your services on social media, classified ads, or word-of-mouth.

Bike tours: If you enjoy cycling and exploring new places, you can use your knowledge of the area to provide bike tours to tourists or locals. You can offer guided tours or self-guided tours and promote your services on online platforms like Airbnb Experiences, TripAdvisor, or your own website.

Repairs and maintenance: If you have mechanical skills, you can offer bike repair and maintenance services to local cyclists. You can provide basic services like tire repairs and tune-ups, or offer more advanced services like custom bike builds. You can promote your services through social media, community events, or classified ads.

Fitness and coaching services: If you are passionate about cycling and fitness, you can offer coaching services to individuals or groups. You can provide cycling classes, training programs, or nutrition coaching. You can promote your services on social media, local fitness events, or your own website.

A bicycle can be an excellent tool to create a successful side hustle. Whether you enjoy delivery services, transportation, bike tours, repairs, or fitness coaching, there are many ways to use your bicycle to make money. By leveraging your skills and interests, you can turn your passion for cycling into a profitable business and earn extra income while staying active and healthy.

This is one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time. It is a guy who is touring with his cat. I stumbled upon a video on YouTube that featured this man named Dean Nicholson and his furry companion Nala, who he adopted while cycling through Bosnia. Their story is nothing short of inspiring and heartwarming. Dean Nicholson, a 31-year-old from Dunbar, Scotland, had always dreamt of travelling the world. In 2018, he quit his job as a welder and set off on his bicycle, with the intention of cycling through Europe and eventually reaching  Australia. From there the hope is to fly to Argentina then cycle north to Canada. But little did he know that his life would change forever in Bosnia. One day, while cycling up a steep hill in the Bosnian mountains, Dean heard a faint meowing sound. Curious, he got off his bike and found a tiny kitten by the side of the road. He decided to take her with him, and named her Nala. Since then, the duo has been inseparable, and they have travelled over
