In grad school I worked as a bike messenger in NYC. Our dispatcher, a mean little guy, was down in the financial, but I ran packages all over the LES and midtown. I was always nice to the dispatcher. (So I could get the good runs.)
Most messaging companies didn't just have people on bikes. There were also "walking messengers" who'd take the subway and do long runs, like out to Queens. But I loved to bike!
The first week was hell! You see, in messaging you have to "earn your radio" 🧵 #thread
@futurebird fantastic #story! 🚴 💪
for fun, i collated some #messenger / #fixie flix for a companion piece..
thank you! i'm open for suggestions. 😃
while Dark Angel looks like an awesome James Cameron series, i want to add titles which feature biking, biking culture, preferably messengering. while that's "Max'' backstory, i can't find a glimpse of this in the trailer or clips (except for a motorcycle montage?) or am i looking at the wrong series?
@aka_quant_noir @futurebird yes—but those really featuring biking/messengering.. am i missing something with Dark Angel?
I looked through a few clips, trailers, and plot summaries. Other than backstory for the character of Max, I didn't see much? I'm not familiar with the series directly, though.
