F*CK PREMIUM RUSH. Because ...
... COURIER CRISIS is the real O.G. 'ish.
And of course there will soon be some lame Premium Rush game in the shops.
Path of the Track Bike
Level 1 is pre-derailleur.
Level 2 is roots (needs a section for “the collector”. They supplied many fine vehicles for 3-5)
Level 3 is where it really begins.
Level 4 finalizes the style
Level 5 marks the entry of non-messenger, non-cyclists. Its also the shortest time segment. (This is where the most deviations within the messenger community developed-aluminum frames and bars, the worst. Goofy “punk” accessories next.)
Level 6 is the explosion. Style bastardized
Level 7 is Babylon. No Style
Level 8 isn’t on the chart-Its all the deviations and cliques formed without influence of 1-4. It really has nothing to do with us, or cycling. It follows the current streetxwear/skateboard/bmx industry map.
I stole this from the Landlords because it is IMPORTANT.
Read and learn. Know your Roots.
Angel Race NYC 1999
Peter Sutherland's short film about NYC's 4th Annual July 4 Bike Messenger Race.
Even if 1999 is really not all that long ago, this is like the roots, the history, the originators. Plus I'm really loving the period correct soundtrack. Now let's go and wrap plenty of inner tube around our "messenger bike" frames.

Jimmy Lizama - My Message is Bicycle (TEDxUCLA)
Jimmy Lizama has been a bicycle messenger in Los Angeles for over a decade. His vocation has taken him around the world to participate in bike messenger events and locally it has inspired and facilitated several ventures into invoking bicycle culture in the city he holds so dear, chief among them The Bicycle Kitchen/La Bicicocina, a DIY bicycle repair space in East Hollywood that he originated in a small kitchen of the Los Angeles Eco Village, an intentional community in Korea Town. With subpoenas, 6 packs, prose, pizzas, costumes, flyers and now a 1-year old boy in tow, Jimmy has navigated the expanse of L.A. without a car his entire life. He invites you to join him as he cycles through what it means to ride a bike in L.A. and why it's vital that you join the club atop two "push-pedals."
Bicycle Messengers of San Francisco 1995
Awesome photo gallery from Richard Todd, w/ lots more photos HERE.
These photos are apparently all from 1995 and if that is true, especially the guy above was so much ahead of his time that it just blows my mind, or maybe this just proves that everything goes around in circles.
