It weird how much different 'Pedal' and 'Tribe' are, and how different they make the messenger industry seem. I don't know any real messengers, so I don't know which is more accurate, but tribe makes messengers and messenger companies seem more humanitarian. Pedal depicts an industry that exploits riders, chews them up and leaves them. Pedal is about NYC, though. Maybe Canadians are just nicer?

I have to say, the tribe show was pretty lame. It was like watching a movie adaptation of these peoples' facebook profiles.
