I see bike messengers around town now and then, but is it much less common due to the internet and smart phones?

This is fucking amazing. I'm writing a character study about a bike messenger and what compels them to be a messenger to begin with. This gives 100 percent context of what I had in mind for my protagonist and confirms what I'd expect: creatives wanting to work on their own dime with flexibility and pursuit of something genuine. While I wish they showed more dispatching and the package end of receiving, this is a beautiful documentary.

Rode for Mobile Messenger, NYC '77. Best gig I've ever had, including getting paid to ski and light rock concerts. Nice flick, captures a bit of the taste of freedom. 64 now and resting a broken rib from going over the handlebars a week ago. You can take the boy out of the city...

Love it when that dude who looked hella up tight said that bike messengers had to be “on of the most skilled athletes know to mankind.” Skilled and useful for sure, way faster than a car in certain situations, but just as fast in other situations. Watch out for those tracks, they’re killers

I was a messenger in Philly in the 90s into 2000s. I worked some in NYC but mostly Philly. My brother and I we're both Messengers... He moved on to ride in SF for a while. I started at One hour on 2nd st then on to Philly express on 13th . Oh yeah can't forget heaven sent up on 23rd and Washington I think was the cross streets... Been a while.. It was always a party lol..

They work hard on that bike, they can eat whatever they want but still burn all the calories. And it is fun to run a bicycle in city traffic once you get the pulse of the town. But that job is not for anyone.

Bunch of losers. Im one of the baddest messengers to ever live and no one knows who i am because i dont subscribe to the "culture". Bunch of deadbeats they are just stand around getting high/drunk talking about things they cant afford as they hate on money. I was riding all day no breaks delivering heavy loads too my back was the rack or carry by hand while peddling. Sometimes carrying stuff so heavy had to walk it several city blocks or more. No helmet, just me, a chrome bag, and a trek.

The one thing I'm curious about that I haven't seen in the docs I've watched.... Their meals, their nutrition. NOT in that dbag "what I eat in a day" that is everywhere on KZbin. That's burning some calories. No such thing as an overweight bike messenger. :)
