My wife has an assignment in one of her classes to research Bike Messengers and Messenger Companies. She needs a brief group of questions answered if you guys are willing.

1) Any special training to be a bike messenger, or licensing required by the Municipality?

2) What city is bike messenger heaven?

3) On the pay, hourly or piece rate per package?

4) Is there insurance for accidents or injuries, and if not, is this something that would be of interest?

5) What equipment works the best?

6) What is the range of packages carried, by type, from documents to............?

Thanks in advance!
