Thanks for sharing the link! I've been absolutely mesmerized watching the bike messenger gathering spots on Market St during visits to SF over the last twenty years. Between the bikes and the bags and the tattoos and the clothing, there is a very humbling lesson for me that THEY are the real deal and that I am the poser/gaper who tries to furtively steal a glance as I walk past.
On the bright side, the whole messenger/courier subculture did motivate me to begin collecting messenger bags and packs 15 or 20 years ago, and I do combine that love for messenger gear with my all-things-bicycle infatuation and it makes for a great way to chill and enjoy after a hard day of work in the real world.
