I would picture a Berlin drug dealer as being perfectly comfortable riding a bicycle.

Most street drug dealers use bicycles, EU and abroad.

More freedom of movement, no license nor plate.

Drug dealers in Berlin populate the parks and subway stations mostly. Easier to hide in the crowds or shrubbery, if they hide at all. Police usually never bother them.

Yeah, but you only mean low level ones who barely earn enough to eat. I don't mean those. I mean the bigger fish.

Wouldn't advice people to consume merchandise from someone that hangs around in parks.

Sounds like Seattle.

You can carry much less on a bike.

Which hardly matters if your product has an excellent price/weight ratio.

My understanding (not being involved in the field in any role) is that even car-based street dealers carry far less product than one could comfortably pack on a bike.

And a cargo bike could probably move a quite respectable quantity even by wholesale dealer standards.

Flip side: if you get caught, it's a lesser crime because you don't have as much on you.
