I just started bike messenging this summer. This is accurate AF. I fucking love my job.

[@cyberbehrens]

somewhere around 6:45 ''have a good trip''. '' yeah, you too''. now , that is very funny and profound.

[@Soapboxview]

soviet305 - I am so sorry to hear about Soviet. I'm going to look at your channel now. For the record, the collision with the pedestrian, as she told me, occurred because she was pushed and encouraged to go near pedestrians for the shot. I love that she kept the name. Thank you so much for the family videos. I was in the office the first day she came to Lightspeed. She put a smile on the endeavor that I probably needed. Thanks man.

I am relatively young (Born in 81´) but damn I miss those simpler times. No Smartphones and multimedia. Just observing and enjoying our moments.

[@guillermo7298]

36:06 that guy is in the doc pedal, but not as a mesenger, but as Dispatcher, cool

[@livingthroughtv]

Steve the Greek RIP

[@llamaman71]

35:40. Just Wow! Golden doco. Greets from a London messenger.

[@Soapboxview]

From 19:33 - 58:39, FIFTH, PARK and MADISON, appears to be the original. I'm proud to have been a bicycle courier. Chuck

[@JayTheHelmetGuy]

Super cool to see dudes riding track bikes in the streets in the '80s

[@timothysdalbey8422]

Thanks for posting Mary now I feel I know a little of Soviet (Kathryn) that I have heard you talking about so often, Tim

[@jpl-yl8fi]

Wow, can't believe some of those guys rode track bikes brakeless back then, very inspiring!

[@erwinup9]

still doing it now!

[@myfirstcrappyvideobilly]

Fixie. They don't need brakes.

[@grrnyc]

Wow- I remember her..sorry to hear Shelly Mossey

[@hollya.g.86]

What the dude said at 8 mins about people from Jersey hesitating is exactly why riding in traffirc in Seattle can be very scary, half the ppl are like that

[@Wings_of_foam]

Look at protest then vs. now.

[@garyjackson7169]

this is dope!

[@pedallinraw]

Looked better in 87 than in 2020 just my opinion 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@schlooonginator]

Wait...did that guy say good paying? Times have changed.

[@myfirstcrappyvideobilly]

Pay varies

[@thisishere3071]

very cool

[@dandyhorse1979]

Are they delivering packages for Russia! Lol

[@schlooonginator1227]

Lol, from what I have seen and read, bike messengering in the 80s was actually well paid. WTF? I have read where they made as much in the late 80s as one would today. That is how bad it is.

[@myfirstcrappyvideobilly]

You know with the mass exodus Philadelphia is the new New York.

[@aaronwesterhouse2261]

400-800$ a week in the 80s is stellar money man these guys were killing it and were probably more financially stable then the average 19-30 year old today and they got to do it in the way they loved

[@Survivalist-of-war]

Yeah 130 a day in the 80s is way more than what the avg. Person making 5 over min. Wage here make. They made half as much as a full weeks pay here in a single day.

[@sirmixalot3332]

Filmed and edited 1980. Released 2012. ??

[@KK-qq1cb]

I was bike messenger in Amsterdam 2017-2021 😊 what can I say about it. Just jealous 😢

[@marypotter9058]

What happened to the first version of this? The one that was prefaced by an intro from National Geographic?

[@Soapboxview]

I can't find it. I'll still try.
