this never happens to me because we don't have messengers in st. pete..which means i get to be super uber posenger and everyone is none the wiser!! i win!

I'll tell.

please. vlv is just a fake-ass, second-rate bco.

answer me this jetbike: do you wear your lock key around your wrist?

Or VLV is exactly what BCO would've been if the BCO folks would have been posting on the internet when they were 18-21 rather than a curmudgeonly 25-40. Then again, BCO has been around for awhile; is there anything more telling than the word "crewcial"? Nothing screams meathead NJ hardcore than "crewcial."

i think it's iowa meathead hardcore actually. just ask imeyer.

Midwest-c um-NYC big city starry-eyedness.

I'm going to be just as guilty once I get out of school, though.

Hint: The filter doesn't like Bad Brains.

vlf? bco? wtf?

you are all posers. you need more NJS parts to be real. I read that on the interwebs.

Nah, it's on my bag. Actually I don't ever lock my bike, only posers do that. Or wear a helmet, or use my brake, or skip, skid or slow down in any way - well sometimes, but only to have my photo taken for fgg. Or wear clothes.....but that's another thread.

This is why messengers world wide should wear uniforms. Imagine if all messenger around the globe would wear the same star track like outfit. No more confusion and everyone would be happy.....

i come here so i don't have to deal with BCO and VLV idiocy. can we not discuss them here. sweeeeeeet

yeah, everyone except the people that had to actually wear them...

Dude, busted.

I vote for uniforms! :D

look like even more of a dork or poseur, F' that

one of the perks of the job is getting to wear what you want and look however you want

Meanwhile every last one of them is missing the most important part of cycling in the city: clipless shoes and pedals. Might as well be more efficient rather than "looking the part."

sh*t. i think i have to challenge you to a trackstand competition to keep that imformation on the DL...or something..

Give him some head...that way you can bribe and blackmail him at the same time.

ding ding.

Like the fat 40-something guy who told me he was out riding his bike and some people walked by when he was sitting in the park and they probably thought he was a messenger.

Yup, I'm sure that's exactly what happened, and they didn't think he was a finance guy with a gut who was on a bicycle. Which is ironic, since that's exactly what he was.

uhhhhh....

Then I'd have to get a nose ring, dye my hair blue and move to San Francisco.

The true origins on BCO are the punkrock.net messageboard
(pr.n, the original messageboard abbreviation) circa 1999.
Everyone was indeed 18-25-ish, and curmudgeonly even then.
I disappeared from that stuff a long time ago, but there are a
few people around here who I recognize from the old boards,
but they don't know it's me, since I've changed my name. As
proof, I have my original "punkrock.net messageboard" pin!
'Just found it the other day.
