Tribes - Bike Couriers pt 1

[Linkz14]

I live here in T.Dot and I want to be a messenger. Anyone know any firms I could go to ?

[DjRoyalez]

I cant take messengers serious if they dont have A fixed gear or track bike i just cant take it serious lol.

[Wifflebender]

Sweet Doc I wish the sound wasn't so bad tho

[sodaglam]

Will someone fix the goddamn sound

[YouLikeTehKawk]

its just too bad maple leafs sucks

[ramzzzzzzz]

WERE THE FUCK IS PART TWO!

[mizmite]

try the critical mass video on toronto couriers, much more real than these posers.

[pansagittarius]

great footage here! (lol i watched it with psytrance music and got a bit high) ....also i started believing that this is the most awesome job perhaps, if you're skilled..... and going to be my next (or other job -despite the payment or danger) :)

[2WheelEscapeArtist]

I've met bike couriers in probably 10 countries while bike touring. When I rode through a city, they were usually the first ones to point me towards a hostel or good safe place to stay. Here in Vancouver, they're part of a larger group of pretty cool people I've met while riding.

[lrnman]

wheres part 2?

[Bassmasta1222]

Notice the taxi driver "They think they own the road" Neither do motorists, we gotta share it

[robinheil]

2:30 - umm, I do believe you ARE tied down by a clock. just sayin

[RedSoniaMusic]

The other parts can't be made available online through messmedia. Lone Eagle Productions is still trying to sell the series. Contact Discovery Channel or Lone Eagle if you'd like to see this online. Meantime, check out my new video "Apparently (Al Sheppard)" on my channel.

Don't be a fool, wear a helmet.

@glitchable I started on a mountain bike, went to a road bike, then got a cyclocross. I got a fixed gear bike in 01, and that has been my primary work bike: less stuff to clean after a rainy day or replace year round, unlike geared bikes (cassette, derailer, brake pads, etc). But the best bike for messengering is the one you feel most comfortable on, have the most fun on, and is functional. Avoid mtn bikes with shocks up front- it's just extra weight, and a stiff fork means less energy used

[jimius]

part 2 pls

[FremonAznGangsta]

haha poor guy is trying to do it on a mountain bike . . . of course he's gonna say it's harder than he thought

[allnightpancakes]

I messengered full time for 7 years, and part-time for the last 4. At some point I burnt out on it, but not before having the time of my life. Messengering made me strong, independent, resourceful, and Happy...not to mention the bike skills and kick ass metabolism! When I needed a change I knew I could never work some desk job, or a bar or food...almost anything is a step down. Eventually I found nursing school, gonna be an RN next summer.

[molyneux1000]

That's pretty funny; I'm qualify as a nurse in April, but I want to be a courier!

[glitchable]

@allnightpancakes what kind of bike would you recommend and is their a certain type of bike messengers typically use??

[swinefart]

PLEASE part 2. I hate his green bike too!~

[bikeforfree]

[qwertyui90qwertyui90]

[gintoniclime]

[ThunderHead72]

Bike couriers rock! I work in the downtown core of the city that I live in and I ride about 125 Km a week between work and the burbs and I've got to tell you, watching these guys has seen me through many a close call on busy city streets!!!

[RickyTomatoes]

Great vid, but where's Part 2???

[liutenghou]

pt 2 plz...

[hellspawndarkangel]

how do u get into this?? and can anyone go for it, im only 14

[crazeyse8]

hey im 14 i tryed to get into it but all the courier companys i contacted said i was to young for insurance reasons but thats in london england you might have better luck where you live

[cryoes]

its a legit job.. so you cant do it at 14.. plus you probably dont have the leg muscles

[awesomeA95]

i think u gotta be like 18 i think and im pretty sure u either go to the police station or the post office but im just guessing

[patrick10ghost]

*mouth starts to water* OMG where do i freaking sign up T.T but id rather use rollerblades

[GoldGraffitiKing]

thank you, u made me laugh.

[cryoes]

good luck on rollerblades... cant go as fast

[Kishgofu]

[plutoplatters]

being cool is far more important.

[TropicalFantasy]

[BRen565656]

When do we get to see parts 2 and 3?!

[violetteleduc]

[neonova03]

I can't believe how many couriers don't wear helmets.

[grubgrob]

"myself and a few" Leah talking about CMWC bout 6 minutes in...

A few...lol

[Kcjcanada]

Disappointing sheep. The repeated use of the talking point Tribe is a sell out. Give us your point of view in your own words not from some TV producers script.

[elilichtenberg]

couriers supporting each other and creating a social group from that. sounds like a tribe to me.

[ArdentIngot]

TOronto couriers rule!

Joe Hendry is a bitch, messmedia is a hoax

[messville]

At least have the balls to sign your name. Which alias are you using this week? Sam Houston of under-the-weather bags, Dennis Riggs , Jon K, gofastordie or Jaysilent from bikeforums.

[Shushapiller]

Is it possible to put the other parts back up?

[phxsmallfry]

@messville wow this is an amzing job, where can I find part 2?

[UnderAchieversUnited]

Yay! Brakeless!

[dancingguyinc]

Finally a MessDoc that doesn't try to paint Bike Couriers out to be all the same person.
