    Here's good FAQ about courier work in general:

    Pros: you get to ride around, Cons: you won't get rich, you'll get wet and tired.

    Try the Golden pages for courier companies and phone around to see if they're hiring. Cyclone and Securispeed spring to mind. It might be a good time to do this since the bad weather may discourage many from doing it.

    my brother is working as a bike courier in london at the moment. a few weeks ago he had to deliver a package to 10 downing st. said he left a big pool of water in the hallway as he was waiting.

    i think that sums up the glamour of the job... standing in 10 downing st while soaked to the skin :)
