Cycle couriers are people who work for courier companies (also known as messenger companies) carrying and delivering items by bicycle. Bicycle couriers are most often found in the central business districts of metropolitan areas. Courier companies use bike couriers / messengers because bicycles can travel faster than automobiles, and often motorcycles, through heavy city traffic by exploiting openings in traffic too small for motor vehicles. In the 1860s, people began to use the bicycle for delivery purposes

ECMC 2010
Submitted by yogi on Thu, 02/25/2010 - 16:20
European Cycle Messenger Championships is an urban competition for bike messengers. Once in a year, European messengers converge to decide who are the fastest, smartest and trickiest messengers of that year. The mainrace will be held in a closed course and imitates the daily work in the city.
Although, the main race is the most important competition, various other races and events are organized to make all competitors happier and to make the event more colorful and unforgettable. The ECMC is not only a sporting event, rather is a celebration and a social event for bike messengers and all people who love bicycle and love to ride their bikes.

What is monster Track? This here thing just happens to be the supreme, urban Track bike racing outfit in the nation. It came from bike messengers, specifically the track biking ones, in New York City looking to get challenged. It came from riders looking to brag and talk shit.

‘FLAT OUT’ is made up of individuals who share a common interest in riding Track bikes.
In January 2010 5 individuals will meet in Australia to take a journey of 1200 km from
Melbourne to Sydney on a Track bike. The Australian’s call it Walkabout, a chance to escape from the routine, heading into the empty wilderness to empty the body and soul of built up trash,
we call it.. ‘FLAT OUT’

BFF came to Sydney
Submitted by yogi on Tue, 11/17/2009 - 21:52
Once agin the BFF came to Sydney and as per usual was a part of the Bike valet Parking. I always like to do something rather than just go to an event like that.
I did manage to see a bit of one movie and that bit brought a tear to my eye. It was a movie about a race accross Africa. A movie about the human condition and how little you really need to live. How easy is it to leave behind your iPhone and technology and your comfy bed and walls and mustard and tomato sauce. Living with the simple things like sustanace and water and a cover over your head when the weather is not nice.

basicly validates my argument. Unfortunately ...
A while ago my wife managed to slide into a curb rather sideways . She bent something that took 8 months to arrive. They rented us a car. I had the choice of a standard mid sized car or a Prius. I took the prius.

.consider KyotoLOCO too. The week before the world meet you can join a slightly different big race in Kyoto. It is the Japanese mecca for street racers. Held almost annually and always tons of fun. It's the biggest street race in Japan with other side events too. Sometimes billed as "the race of the messengers, by the messengers, for the messengers".
They will have maps and manifests available in English. So don't worry if you can't read Japanese. They have a website in English too. KyotoLOCO Also check out their link to the Kyoto to Tokyo group ride.
If you are coming all the way to Japan, don't miss this!!! It will be a great ride/race/bike jamboree. You can save your budget and sleep in the race venue too. The floor is really big.
Hope to see you there!
