Hey guys, Im from Utah (just moved from michegan to this **** hole) and would just like to know a few things. First off, do companies like western union and things like that hire bike messengers, can you name a few really popular ones. Also, how old do you have to be to be a bike messenger? Can you name some of the best cities to be one in? All help is appreciated. Also I would love to become some kinda e-mail "buddie" dont think of gay ****, with somebody who is a messenger, just so I can learn about what its like. All help appreciated!

[please read rule #3]

Theres one bike messenger delivery service in down town SLC, i think they have 3 riders, im not sure of the name of the outfit tho... check the phone book, they may let ya ride with them for a day, or help ya get started as a messenger.

As for the email buddy thing, theres a email group of bike messengers that gets a few messeges a day, i'll post later with the subscribe email address.
