Now it's possible to have a delivery service on the side. But still I don't share your enthousiasm.

The direct English translation to "Delivery without concern," also tickles me.
The concern is on the teenager who has invested 2000 euro's in a bike and is riding around as fast as possible without insurance and has the full financial responsability for business taxes and stuff like that. A mistake or other typical teenage behaviour might get very expensive. Companies like Uber and Deliveroo are putting al the risk and responsability on young people for only the earnings of a regular job. They are exploiting the optimism and boldness of youth. The bikes themselves are the only good thing about these new developments.
I can't support that, I'll just keep cycling with pizza's myself.
