I know that you guys like to glamorize what you do, but for the rest of the country, you're a joke. Go and work a real job, with people who don't have the privilege of spending their idle time dodging around in traffic, then you'll see what grit and balls really are.
what part of nowhere do you live? most messengers ride mountain bikes and don't give a **** about alleycats. their fenders are made out of plastic and duct tape and they certainly don't glamorize what they do.
