In these incredibly testing times and in light of the current situation it seems trivial to announce that our Dom (B58) will be taking over the KuZ IG from next week. Maybe a young, vibrant, anglo-french bike courier from London can help us all to get back on the road to normality - whatever that was - through the high art medium of instagram. Happy Grammin', Dom. Allez ! . . .

As a courier company, and in these extraordinary times, our city needs us now more than ever before and in turn we thank all our riders and drivers, office staff and customers for keeping the wheels turning this past week. Let's do it all again. Here's our Mana (998) leading us into another unprecedented week. #basel #coronacrisis #lockdown #wheelsareturning #westillouthere #thankyou #viruslife #monday #messlife #messlife4001 #courierism #kuz #kurierzentrale #mana #998 #neversleepalwaysdeliver (at Basel, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-EfuGllmLJ/?igshid=ot6up5at0gad

If you're on self - imposed lockdown or "self isolating" and you need something, anything, delivered to your door give us a call and we will do our best to meet your needs. These are strange times right now and it seems it could be just the beginning of something much more catastrophic. We are doing all we can to maintain a normal delivery service whilst following the government advised protocol. . Stay healthy this weekend and always ! . . .📷 @ksparrow . . . . . #basel #coronacrisis #westillouthere #heretohelp #kuz #kurierzentrale #staysafe #messlife #messlife4001 #courierism #happyfriday #neversleepalwaysdeliver (at Basel, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B981GMqFwJ5/?igshid=7aizvjkljb06

We are adhering to all government advised practices here at Kurierzentrale including social distancing between office staff and our couriers. We are still running a service but after the national shutdown in Switzerland orders are not coming in as much and it's difficult to estimate what the next four or five weeks will bring. For the people of Basel we are here for you if you need us.

Firstly, huge respect to all our bike couriers who rode a shift in the cold rain yesterday. It was relentless and we thank you all for cracking on through it. Today we only have 40k winds to deal with. Hurray ! Here's our Cyril (B26) left, and Jeanne (B04) discussing the best way to dry out their Sidis.

Fasnacht cancelled ! For the first time in 100 years - since the outbreak of the Spanish flu pandemic between 1918- 1920 - Basel's famous Fasnacht carnival has been cancelled. The Swiss government has banned all gatherings that involve 1000 people or more as a measure to contain and stop the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). All our riders and drivers are functioning normally and it's business as usual here at KuZ HQ so call us for all your delivery requirements and have a good week ! . . . . . . #basel #outbreak #coronavirus #itsjustacold #panic #sicknote #manflu #happymonday #fasnacht #kungflu #100years #kuz #kurierzentrale #neversleepalwayscoughing #messlife #messlife4001 #neversleepalwaysdeliver (at Basel, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9OcuRAlUiS/?igshid=zrw81vy58i3u

If there were any more proof needed of how our planet is changing for the worse then this winter has provided it. There wasn't a winter here in Basel this year - there was a temperature drop and a little snow this morning - the conditions have been extremely windy lately.It seems we will have to get used to the idea of a very real global catastrophe that is happening right before our eyes. The future is bleak but we still have our bikes........ #basel #wearedoomed #climatechange #globalwarming #catastrophe #winter #wind #shitstorm #bikes #keepridingyourbicycle #winterwonderland #neversleepalwaysdeliver (at Basel, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9BjK0glzXX/?igshid=1hqwu6q4txity

Although we have relocated to a larger work space things at KuZ HQ are no less hectic. That's why we are pleased to have our Meret (B58) join us as part of our office team. She'll be easing the load by answering customer calls and helping out our riders with queries during the shift. Allez Meret ! .

We have, regrettably, some news we were all dreading. Our Moni has lost her battle against cancer. She passed away last Thursday at a hospice here in Basel. Moni faced her situation with courage and dignity and to those who visited her in her final days she was an example of human strength and grace in adversity. She was in high spirits and spoke of the beauty of life and how, in her last job as our very own cook, she was most happiest. She was loved by us all and left fond memories for us to hold on to and be inspired by. We will never forget you, Moni. Xx . . Our deepest sorrows go to Moni's family and friends. . .
