Biking for Dollars: My Disappointing Lunch Rush with Uber Eats in Chicago.

[@DoctorBaconlung]

As always the editing is a cut above, not the best luck for this lunch shift but like you said, you win some you lose some. Looking forward to part 2!

[@EddieBenitez3]

Thanks you as always Dr Baconlung!

[@KADAMBARl]

Thanks for the video! The editing skills are top notch. Especially the transition. Btw do you edit your own videos or did you opt for a course or something?

[@EddieBenitez3]

Thank you! Yes I edit my own videos I bought a course a couple years back that I need to get back into.

[@MrPrincepop]

Yo, Eddie good to see you as always! A few other KZbinrs who deliver I watch mentioned it's been either slow, bad tips or both. How's the wifey, does she still do deliveries? Take care to you and the family.

[@EddieBenitez3]

Thanks Gray Fox. She’s doing good she may or may not make a video she’s pretty busy running the photo side of our business. Thanks for asking!

[@BigMannyfromtheIE]

Hi Eddie I just joined your channel Enjoying ur videos Manny

[@EddieBenitez3]

Hi Manny. Welcome aboard! Thank you!

[@florin.filipescu]

I think is easier to use a quadlock for your phone on the bike rather than the cable

[@Anwar.B]

Since NO one talked about it, i will 😄. I really liked the transition in 1:32

[@EddieBenitez3]

Haha much appreciated!

[@justdrive5327]

5:48 Same thing happened to me when i first went to Eataly. I had no idea where the restaurant was 😂

[@EddieBenitez3]

its big in there!

[@umidk2317]

That moment of getting lost because you don't know the area and the gps is acting up or the signal is really weak is the worst but after riding around for a while you should be able to recognize your area a lot more and just by looking at the map you'll have an idea of how to navigate yourself to the dropoff without looking at the gps you'll get the hang of it💪

[@EddieBenitez3]

Truth! I know that area really well now that I got lost there.

[@cristidan545]

Ever did an early morning shift, Eddie? I’m curious to see how that would go. Love your videos 👍

[@EddieBenitez3]

Cristi it’s the one thing I’ve never done.

[@DanielLopes-jt8yl]

I think they are giving orders to the cars bikes are next tier. There are so many people doing food delivery now it’s crazy!

[@EddieBenitez3]

Agreed!

[@Shanawarali24]

I really enjoyed all your videos 😊 ❤ keep it bro

[@EddieBenitez3]

Thanks bro!

[@charliemack9702]

😂 yo Eddie the bike rack for Merchandise Mart is at the main entrance on WELLS 😉

[@EddieBenitez3]

Thank you appreciate it!

[@E-BikingAdventures]

LOL! That was hilarious with the math equations. I rarely ever use that google navigator. That chick messes with my head.

[@EddieBenitez3]

lol 😂

[@daniellarusso3392]

In my town there's like 10 12 riders just sitting outside McDonald's and fight over who gets what..

[@EddieBenitez3]

🤦‍♂️

[@hectormacedo4822]

Yesterday it got really busy in the afteroon bro. Hate to say it, but i love when their is traffic and a lot of uber drivers in car cancel orders and goes to us bikes lol.

[@EddieBenitez3]

Nice! Makes sense!

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

sick thumbnail and editing 🔥

[@EddieBenitez3]

Thanks Carsten!

[@titusnixon]

Yeah Eddie it's been slow for a less a month with GH, I spend my time practicing my photography skills more then pick up orders. So I'll do the lunch hour then spend my time taking photos getting my portfolio together. So I don't feel like I'm totally wasting my time. I told stop listen to that map it will screw you a lots of times

[@EddieBenitez3]

I hear ya Titus. Sounds nice tho brushing up on your skills during downtime.

[@harrellshomesteadwoodworks]

Oh man, 1:30 into the video and already a door transition, lol! Gonna be good. Also you're not all bundled up so you can do shop and pays, I'm sure you'll be excited to do those too (sarcasm).

[@EddieBenitez3]

😂 i will be happier to walk in with out the jacket yes

[@E-BikingAdventures]

I didn't notice it until you pointed it out. Ya that is a cool transistion.

[@TaipeiEats]

Is the over exposure due to the cam got overheated?😢

[@EddieBenitez3]

No it was user error. If you hold your finger down on the screen on the back of the camera long enough it triggers exposure settings and I had no idea I triggered that feature.

[@ToastyCourier]

It’s dry out here 😵‍💫

[@EddieBenitez3]

Yeah it is.

[@synos0202]

Do you change gear often? Or do you stay in your prefered gear and once momentum picks up you go full throttle?

[@EddieBenitez3]

This particular bike I’m on has no gears. But on my previous bike I kept it on the highest gear full time.

[@rrxlb]

How do they let you cancel the order such as the one at 11:40 when you’ve been driving around for so long and in that time, someone else could’ve picked it up? Seems counter productive.

[@EddieBenitez3]

🤷‍♂️

[@rrxlb]

@@EddieBenitez3 Who knows! Guess we'll leave it up to UberEats. Great video!

[@jfs347]

I was wondering, how did you get your drink holders in the bag because I have a basket on my bike. I wonder if I should switch to the big bag like yours? Have you had any problems with it?

[@EddieBenitez3]

So the bag comes with drink holders already. That has Velcro and sticks to the side of the box. But I also use a drink bag that I left a link for in the description in the Amazon store.

[@jfs347]

As I’m to yours

[@_thomas3187]

That’s a big ass McDonald’s hahaha

[@EddieBenitez3]

😂

[@tyronevonchadley]

That is cause he was at the McDonald's corporate headquarters. I have ubered there at least 10x. Big dining area with international menu.

[@EddieBenitez3]

💯%

[@kevinballadares17]

Hey Eddie I was wondering how do taxes work since you deliver on a e bike I know with a car you can add your miles as a tax deductible but can you do the same for your bike? Can you make a video explaining

[@EddieBenitez3]

Im learning as I go myself Shikha, I don't think I made enough money doing uber in the last year or any year to even matter much. this is the first year that I actually only do Uber Eats as my only job so I will talk about it as it goes.

[@kfox5301]

How much are you using throttle vs pedaling these days?

[@EddieBenitez3]

All throttle most the time. If peddle it’s only to help the throttle from a stand still like a red light. Sometimes I peddle to get up to speed with the flow of traffic faster.

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

Sometimes I have more luck on the outskirts of the loop. ever try west loop?

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

oh snap you were in the west loop in this video 😂

[@EddieBenitez3]

Yup 👍

[@laphonz]

why don't u use DD? I recall you opening it once

[@EddieBenitez3]

DoorDash is terrible out here for bikers.

[@laphonz]

@@EddieBenitez3 true, but try using it to compliment ubereats

[@EddieBenitez3]

I have. Made a series of videos about it. Not worth it until I get my motorcycle license in a month or so.

[@E-BikingAdventures]

I seem to recall your wife has better luck with DD than you do.

[@kevinrodrigues1153]

What bike and phone charger do you have?

[@EddieBenitez3]

Hi Kevin I left a link to my Amazon store in the description. This is the Delfast prime 2.0

[@gerrywilliams124]
