BROKE WITH STANDARDS™ — EPISODE 2 😂
A few days ago, I posted a young man looking for a riding job.
He was desperate for work.
Then came the plot twist:
“I don't want an electric bike.”
Why?
Because apparently electric bikes become dangerous whenever it rains. 🌧️😂
Meanwhile, thousands are already riding them on Kenyan roads through rain, floods, potholes and Nairobi traffic.
So I called it what I saw:
BROKE WITH STANDARDS.
And before the non-riders arrive with their PhDs in electric bikes — yes, I see you. Butcher operators, plumbers, maids, housewives and professional Facebook experts explaining the dangers of machines you've probably never ridden. 😂
Engagement is engagement.
But here's where it gets interesting.
Since that post, FOUR electric-bike owners have contacted me looking for riders.
THREE already have riders working.
The young man?
Still looking for the fuel bike he wanted.
Meanwhile, while we are busy setting standards about which bike is worthy of carrying our behinds, people from countries like Burundi are taking the opportunities that come their way and getting to work.
The opportunity doesn't always arrive wearing the clothes you ordered.
Sometimes it arrives as an electric bike.
Nobody is saying electric bikes have zero risks. Every machine has its challenges.
But if you're broke and someone gives you an opportunity to earn, sometimes you don't need another standard.
You need a starting point.
Because rejecting the available opportunity while waiting for your preferred one can leave you very comfortably unemployed.
Change is coming whether your standards have approved it or not. 😂
BROKE. WITH. STANDARDS.
I said what I said.
