Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

winnipeg has about 15 messengers.

i have met most of them on the way to edmonton for worlds two years back. it is relatively easy to get a job in calgary since there are a crap ton of messengers there.

if you are going to winnipeg PM me and i will try to find the info for Sun Cycle Couriers(Some Psycho)...

If I were you I would go to Calgary. Although 'peg is nice and all it gets really boring since it is so fricken flat....they do however have the Blue Bombers!

Blue Bombers in '06!!!!!!

actually this isn't about moving so much as passing through, but if you could get me contact info i'd be appreciative. neither of the bma links for those cities work on the international page.
