A story of grind and hustle published on a popular Instagram feed channeled over $2,000 to a food delivery cyclist who was working through a foot injury.
A bicycle courier by the name of Joshua Cavallero runs an Instagram page called BikingDC, and one day he came across a man named Kevin who, like Joshua, was delivering on a bike—Indian food in this case.
But Joshua stopped to chat when he saw that Kevin had a foot cast on and was dismounting the bike right onto a walker. He walked alongside Kevin as he went in with the walker, got the food, put it into his delivery backpack, then walked out again and attempted to climb back on the bike while using the bike lock to secure his walker to the handlebars.
Kevin said he’d been doing it for 2 weeks by then, and that it was dangerous to steer with the walker interfering with his control of the handlebars.
“Bro, what are you doing? Are you serious?” Joshua can be heard saying, to which Kevin responds: “I got bills to pay, bruh.”
The video exchange was brief but upbeat, with Joshua asking Kevin for his Cash app details so he could send him a little tip. That video went viral and accumulated 5 million views on Instagram and beyond.
Let him know about Bitcoin, let him stack those cheap SATs.
Good idea!
