- tomcooks 7y agoMost street drug dealers use bicycles, EU and abroad. More freedom of movement, no license nor plate.
- HorstG 7y agoDrug dealers in Berlin populate the parks and subway stations mostly. Easier to hide in the crowds or shrubbery, if they hide at all. Police usually never bother them.
- onreact 7y agoYeah, but you only mean low level ones who barely earn enough to eat. I don't mean those. I mean the bigger fish.
- lowdose 7y agoWouldn't advice people to consume merchandise from someone that hangs around in parks.
- TurkishPoptart 7y agoSounds like Seattle.
- noobermin 7y agoYou can carry much less on a bike.
- taborj 7y agoFlip side: if you get caught, it's a lesser crime because you don't have as much on you.
- microtherion 7y agoWhich hardly matters if your product has an excellent price/weight ratio. My understanding (not being involved in the field in any role) is that even car-based street dealers carry far less product than one could comfortably pack on a bike. And a cargo bike could probably move a quite respectable quantity even by wholesale dealer standards.
- onreact 7y agoYeah, that's true, but that's just the poor Africans who are at the bottom of the picking order. The BMW driving Orientals who provide them with drugs don't use bikes. Just recently a BMW 7 ran over a mother with her baby - both killed - at 6 in the morning. I don't think it was a manager rushing to his office. Ever since more traffic barriers have been erected.
