Another old (very) guy here. Chief Engineer for a hotel now. Work for a company who pay me to travel the world (or anywhere they have a hotel!). First job ever was as a bike messenger. For a shoe shop in Dublin, Ireland. Bike got stolen after 3 days. I was 13 years of age. Never went back to messengering after that.

I'd say Pittsburgh isn't that friendly of a bike city. The roads are pretty eaten up, the hills are tough, and the drivers don't always pay attention to the bikers. However there seems to be plenty of organizations + people trying to make a change. This probably isn't the worst of cities... but it definitely isn't that bike friendly.

What do you guys do during the day (or night) to make ends meet? Liver surgery is very, very cool. I'm pretty lucky to be able to do this. In my spare time I ride (fixed, touring or tandem; occasional cross country on the tourer) and I'm a medical volunteer for Bicycle Victoria on some of their organised tours. |
