After a long ride, especially after a very challenging day, I like to go for some cold ones to help me relax and recover. Working as a bike messenger, I ride over 100 miles a week, and some days are more challenging than others, depending on the weather. Sometimes dealing with all types of people can be a bit stressful if they are A-holes if you know what I mean, and drivers are a pain, that’s why cycling and beer go together so well. Beer is not only refreshing but also very healthy, so listen up NYC bike messengers, in this article, you will learn all about the health benefits of a cold brew, and the perfect cool beer glass.

Being A New York Bike Messenger Is A Challenge

I am sure many of you couriers/cyclists have fallen off your bikes right? It hurts haha. I fell off my bike twice recently, I was in shock, I couldn’t believe a pro like myself fell riding off the sidewalk and the following day I got hit from behind by a scooter, which of course I wasn’t surprised by that one. Anyway, I haven’t fallen off my bike in 3 years, I was very proud of that. Since I started working as a New York bike messenger I developed great balance, speed, agility, and the reflexes of a cheetah? I remember I was in a bit of a rush, both times. The company I work for gives us two hours to complete a route, and we have to be on time 98% of the time or we don’t earn our bi-weekly incentives, and just the salary alone sucks, so sometimes I do have to run lights, yell at pedestrians and knock on cars, I love it. Enjoying a cold brew is a must for me after a long day of hard work. It definitely eases sore muscles and helps me relax and reflect on my day. I thought I’d share one of my favorite documentaries, watch below, and enjoy!

Healthy Benefits Of Drinking Beer

Drinking beer offers many great benefits, I never knew that it is a great way to hydrate your body. I did know however that it helps prevent aging. Having a cold brew after a long ride will help muscles relax and recover, and aside from the many antioxidants, beer also contains vitamin b which has an impact on energy levels and brain health, it also increases metabolism; cyclists and beer belong together. So next time you decide to pick up a cold refreshing beverage, don’t be afraid to drink your favorite brew, and if you don’t drink, I am not encouraging you to do it, I guess a cold iced tea is great too!

It’s simple, and neat, just like how I enjoy many things in life. Simple and neat, that includes women haha, I don’t like complicated.

  1. Oh I am quite sure that being a bike messenger in New York can be very challenging. So what better way to relax at the end of a tiring and demanding day, than with a frosty cold one in your hand. 

    My brother-in-law collects beer bottles and beer cans from all over the world, so he would love the Craft Beer Club. Do you know if they ship internationally, or only domestically? Thank you.

    1. It’s very challenging, but I really enjoy the rush, it is very exciting for those who have a passion for cycling and who don’t like to follow rules. As a bike messenger, I have to sometimes break all the rules to get the job done on time. I get cussed at from time to time by pedestrians but it’s a part of the job haha. 

      I do sometimes put the beer bottles in the freezer for a bit, nothing like drinking a beer with a bit of frost around it. I’m sure your brother-in-law would love the Craft Beer Club, and they only ship domestically, I just checked. I hope you are both living in the U.S. so you can try it out. 

  2. I can totally relate to you! Myself I like hitting a cold one after a long drive on a weekend. It gives me the relaxation and “mental shake-up” to get me up and running on other projects I have to work on at home. when I get back. I personally drink from the beer bottle itself but I am trying to be flexible on that and I am looking to get cool beer glasses like you. 🙂

    1. Yeah, it really helps the body relax, plus I think the benefits it provides such as younger looking skin, muscle recovery and many other benefits are great. Why not get a bit tipsy while getting healthy at the same time right? Haha.

  3. I can only imagine how difficult it is trying to be a bike messenger, especially in New York. It is just constantly busy. I agree with you after a long day there’s nothing better than having a cold one.

    What is the minimum order quantity from the craft beer club I am quite interested and do they ship to the UK as that is where I am based?

    1. Oh man some days are very tough; I think this week the toughest days for me were Monday and Tuesday. Friday, I worked more hours, but the routes were shorter, and I was able to ride at a good pace, so it wasn’t bad at all. I still enjoyed some brews Friday evening. About the Craft Beer Club, no bro, they only ship nationally within the US.
