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

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.....

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."

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.

(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.
