I live in NOLA and needed messenger services yesterday and today because work did not permit me to run the deliveries myself. Certainly, I would prefer to hire someone on a bicycle as opposed to a car, but the main criteria for me is someone who is smart, responsible, and who knows what to do when delivering documents to the many different courts, Notarial Archives, other attorneys for signatures, etc.
Haywire II -- The business is Bicycle Michaels, and their rates are a fraction of what you have posted.
I love cycling in New Orleans and ride most every day but still not enough . . .
