Messenger Appreciation 2020 NYC

[@paperclip9558]

I swear squid doesnt age. I watched red light go documentary from early 2000s and he looks exactly the same.

It's a beautiful community and a wonderful way to make a living. I was a messenger for 4 years from '04-'08 in Copenhagen (and went to Cyclehawk once in '06 btw - great to see that you are still going strong). Moved to France in '19, met an American messenger and company owner around the hospital bed of a Polish messenger who had crashed in our French city (doing a long-distance race) and now I'm a messenger again and loving it. Beats the office anyday!

Squid's a super humble guy. What he didn't say is that he's a legend in the messenger community ;) I road in DC, SF, Seattle and Vienna (without knowing German haha). Full respect for the NYC crew. Those alleycats are the bomb!

Hats off in appreciation to the messengers who started the International Federation of Bicycle Messenger Associations (IFBMA) and CMWC's. Ozone the Destroyer, James 'The General' Moore and Achim Beier, the true legendary tribal kings of the world urban cycling community.

[@amstermartin344]

Thank you!

[@kofirichter9753]

Cool. What gear ratio do most nyc messengers use?

[@squidrocknyc]

There is no set formula but somewhere around 3 to 1 ratio seems popular. For example 48X16 👍

[@bboydakidd1]

I use to be a messenger. I was one for 7 years. But then COVID happen. I still do consider being a messenger again because so do love riding my bike. I’m good at it. I just don’t know what company to work for that can pay me good enough to pay my bills.

[@numbaoneg101]

Are you in NYC? I know Squid was hiring this past summer. Not sure if he’s still looking now.

[@bboydakidd1]

@@numbaoneg101 Thank you. I am in NYC. I found a good messenger position. thanks.

Can't understand why they torture themselves with fixed gear bikes!

[@squidrocknyc]

I guess it’s not for everyone. I still love riding fixed gear in the city 😸
