Even though often times I am almost killed by these e-bikers riding recklessly, there is no denying that these delivery folks keep the city running -- they are genuine heroes to me, especially in wintertime. Lord knows if I relied on my own cooking, I would be overcome with a deep sadness. Both in having to do the cooking, which is mediocre at best, and cleaning the dishes, which is worse than any other task I can imagine.
Tip well! It's very simple.

I see the recklessness and dangerous speeds as symptomatic of their predicament: they need to get deliveries made as quickly as possible in order to make money. They probably don't like speeding, either. And due to ebikes and scooters, the range restaurants deliver to has expanded. Pre-seamless, restaurants usually were more local and stuck to a reasonable range for their hired delivery person. Nowadays, I can get a pizza from Crown Heights all the way to me in South Park Slope. That's kinda nuts.
