As a non-user I only have negative feelings towards Wolt myself. They have their fleet of underpaid cyclists with gigantic boxes darting around the town at full speed without regard for traffic or anything else. The system where they get paid more the faster they go doesn't seem super healthy and one of them's gonna get killed by a car sooner or later.

Sounds like the city you’re in needs to fix its bike lanes rather than continue blaming cyclists

[rudasn]

I'm not sure parent blamed cyclists, but rather their working conditions.

Where I live we have no cyclist lanes so all food delivery gig workers use motorbikes. I personally see a traffic accident involving these people almost every week.

I think if construction work didn't have strict health and safety regulations we would see/hear about construction accidents every day.

This (new) industry should be regulated in the same way.

There is regulation in place to avoid accidents. It's called traffic rules.

[moffkalast]

On the contrary, most of the city has pretty good bike lanes set up.

It's just that they don't get enough time to do the commute safely, or at least safety is gravely disincentivized with extra pay.

[clumpthump]

No, it doesn't. I can't tell from their comment whether their city/town has good cycling infrastructure or not. Even if it does, the app would still incentivize using it (and roads and sidewalks) incorrectly and dangerously.

If the payment model is every delivery = comission, then they'll go as fast as possible, even with good bike lanes.

Red light, but the cross street is empty? They'll probably blow through it. And they'll be making these kinds of stupid risk assessments every few seconds, and statistics would say the chances of 100% success are against them...

There are cities where cyclists use bike lanes?
