Have you ever had the desire to grab multiple boxes of fragile cookies, strap them to your bike, and make a mad dash across campus to deliver them to a starving, drunken horde? If so, you might enjoy being a delivery rider for Insomnia Cookies, one of two businesses (
along with Jimmy John's) in Champaign-Urbana to utilize the more agile riders to make quick deliveries through the tangled streets of Campustown. "I've definitely beaten the driver back to the store consistently on my bike many times," says Braden Elliott, who delivered for Insomnia during the 2007-08 academic year. "I didn't have to avoid busy streets, stop at lights or signs, go the right way on a one-way, or find a road to go around (rather than through) campus."
