Frankie

Hometown: Pomona, CA

Lived in SF: 1 1/2 years

Workhorse:Fuji Feather Fixed Gear

Past experience: I’ve worked various jobs: bank teller, personal trainer, pizza slicer. I had no messenger experience other than i would commute 15 miles to work, and i would go on long rides with my friends.

Favorite part of the city to work in: The Mission of course!

Favorite TCB Restaurant meal: Udupi Palace’s Samosa Chat, an Indian dish consisting of fried potato goodness smothered in vegetable curry… BOMB!

Favorite aspect of working at TCB: Traveling from one of the city to another, hauling wine bottles up steep hills, and just being an integral part of the whole hustle and bustle of the city.
What would you do if you weren’t working on the road: Riding Bikes

Hobbies or interests: Riding Bikes, Running, Hiking, overall just keeping myself in good shape. I’m never going to have a 401k so i just invest in my health so i can be 80 and still kicking.

How did you end up working with TCB: I had emailed TCB at the beginning of the summer last year, i hadn’t heard back in a couple months. Towards the end of the summer i had broken up with my girlfriend because she lived in SF, lost my job, and gotten my bike stolen. Needless to say i was in a bad spot, that’s when i got an email from TCB. It said that if i could make it to SF with a bike and a bag i had a job. The rest is history.

Weirdest delivery made: This guy called me in Noe Valley to pick up some medicine Downtown. The medication was for his hiccups he explained as he asked if i could hurry because he was having a horrible hiccup fit. We were really busy that day so i smashed out the delivery as fast as possible, the guy was super grateful that i got there so quick needless to say.
