On January 24 2018, Foodora and Deliveroo riders in Berlin have protested against their precarious working conditions. They have to pay for most of the bike repair costs themselves. This leads to many having to ride with bicycles that are not safe, because they can not afford the repair costs.

The drivers dumped a big pile of used pike parts in front of the Delivery Hero office in Mitte to protest against this fact:
"Some of you could throw your whole bicycle onto this pile: They are so worn down."

At the moment, protests of bike couriers are taking place all over the world. On January 1, Deliveroo riders in Haarlem went on strike, and shut down the Deliveroo service for several hours. In Hong Kong this week hundreds of Deliveroo riders went on strike and managed to avert further deterioration of their working conditions.
