bike messengers
Urban cycling couriers
Bike messengers are couriers who deliver packages and documents by bicycle, typically in dense urban areas where cycling is faster than driving.
The job demands aggressive riding through traffic and quick navigation of city streets.
Bike messenger culture developed its own aesthetic—messenger bags worn cross-body, fixed-gear bikes, and a reputation for reckless speed.
