@GhibliFan1 all kinds of cyclists break the law here. Not to justify anything, that's just the way it is. I'm just saying: We're better at doing it. The pay structure is what makes the job fun. I do what I want and pay when I get busted. But actually I behave a lot. You can get another job if you have a problem doing what you do, I don't care.

@nilo2209

Yeah, OK...nothing about the fact their pay structure and bullish competition is making them jump reds left, right and centre - not to mention riding down the wrong side of the road and the rest of it. I like the way you hold up an extremely bad example of 'normal' cyclist to justify the shear stupidity of messengers. I don't care how alert they fancy themselves, they break the laws I go out of my way to observe for a living. Fucking pleb!

@pyromaneak47 you can also let your feet hang behind the rotating pedals. I do that all the time going down hills. But don't do it without brakes and don't let the pedals hit your legs. :) I also have a low geared Redline Monocog MTB converted to fixed gear. Great fun offroad and much less problems with stuff getting into the drivetrain. It just goes on and on in all weather types.

@GhibliFan1 nevermind, you see, other cyclists already have a very bad name. Non messengers are the most moronic cyclists. You won't believe the shit I see every day. Women cyclists with a kid on the back, none of them wearing helmets, she has two filled plastic bags hanging on each bar and she's texting on the phone... But let's pick on the bike messengers, the most alert cyclists on the street. Fucking moron.

[nilo2209]

@pyromaneak47 it's not true that you get absolutely no rest. You can just follow the pedals around with your legs, without applying force. This is called pseudo coasting. In fact, with a fixie you have a very precise control of how much energy you spend on pushing the bike forward (or slowing it down). This is one of the "hidden features" you become addicted to.

[nilo2209]

@xxappleeyesxx And you need a reality check. There is no better way to get paid for thrills than this. Twats like us keep society moving and we rarely cause accidents because we know what we are doing. All bigger companies and organizations use us. No one can do this faster and cheaper than us.
