Makes me nostalgic for a time I never experienced.

17:07 That's me! Man, that was a long time ago!

Soviet was my daughter. It was a delight to see this again, and I thank Gavin for finding and posting it.

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

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

Dope ass... we still going .F the system .....!!!!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Look at protest then vs. now.

just saw trop at trexler town

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.

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

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.
