I use Postmates 'Get It Now' delivery service every couple of weeks to order lunch when I'm jonesing for some food that's not within walking distance or I have a limited amount of time in between meetings. I have much love for the PostMates couriers who bring me things that I wouldn't have gone out and gotten for myself. So when they asked if I wanted to spend an afternoon as a courier myself, of course I jumped at the opportunity. TechCrunch writer Ryan Lawler spends the day working as a bike courier for San Francisco startup Postmates.
