Messenger - What to expect?

A friend of mine said that he would be able to get me a messenger job. It is something I have considered before. For all the messengers out there, what was your average pay, and how many runs was...

Definitely a matter of personal choice and strength. I use my index and middle finger. The muscles in my forearms eventually developed so that I can brake and still hold the bike firmly with the...

Yeah, that's how it was in my skating days. It was perfectly cool to walk up to a group and skate with them. All of the riders I have ran into around here are really territorial and stand-offish.

Ego

Why is it that every single rider I have run into, and I mean every rider, is a complete egotistical jerkoff? Here's an example from the other night. I'm out riding with my friend at our usual spot....

Yeah, I've hit my shin with my back leg before. The other week I screwed up on a ledge, and somehow landed on my own foot. A few days ago I was hopping onto a ledge. I brought the bike up so high...

I pretty much take the same route as Sarsparilla when I hit roots. I lean back so that my front tire is off the ground or barely touching and all my weight is over the rear axle. When I feel traction...

The most I've done is 6. That's pretty much the most I've seen around here that is feasible. The rest turn after that, have a small landing before another quick drop, or are too insanely large for me.

It's actually hard to tell. On one hand, it does look as though there is a slight bend, but it is quite common for bikes to be manufactured with asymetrical chainstays. It's quite possible that you...

When taking off pedals, the wrench should be turning towards the front of the bike (passing over the top position). As far as the stuck pedals, they are probably corroded, which means they may not...

I don't think you can look at a place on my shins where there are no scars. It's gotten to the point where I don't even notice half of the gouges I get anymore. Ahhh, desensitization.

WTB makes some tires with hard rubber that won't wear easily. I ran a Velociraptor on the back for 2 years. It was mainly a cement rider, but when I put it back on dirt it still road well. It has a...

5'3" with a 20 incher?!?! I'm 5'11" and I ride a 17incher. It's no wonder you can't wheelie that thing. Are you even able to get your weight over the rear tire?
