It’s a dying culture but a tightly knit one. Bike messengers, less of a necessity nowadays with electronic documents, hang onto their chosen way of life. Seattle has about 50-75 today, down from 150 ten years ago. Hard-working and loyal to their peers, veteran bike messengers spend their days navigating through traffic, riding elevators, and being yelled for both being on the sidewalk and off the sidewalk. And if you see one of them with wet clothing on, please don’t ask if it’s raining outside.
