Fast Food - a photo on Flickriver

Fast Food

            The last five years or so have seen an exponential rise in restaurant delivery services in British towns. Online services like Just Eat and Deliveroo have been driving (literally!) the change.

I think it is partly because of people’s lifestyles. Britons work longer hours on average than any other European nation, and I don’t think that is necessarily a good thing. With both partners in a couple having to work to pay for the high accommodation charges they often have little time or energy in the evening to plan, prepare food, cook and wash up. The answer is to order in.

Towns like Cambridge are awash with delivery drivers on bikes, scooters and small electric vehicles like this Eskuta, which is cheap and doesn’t require a licence or the wearing of a helmet (effectively it’s an electrified bike).

This image was taken on that day in July when I was having a go at street photography and panning shots. The hot food is in the back, and the phone on the handlebars is providing the destination address and map. I love the intense commitment in the expression...

For my 100x project on Motion.

Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy 100x (and weekend!) :)
