This is sort of a follow up to Sundays post about the one legged NYC bike messenger. These dudes are truly fearless on their bikes. Some of these videos will leave you holding your breath and cringing your teeth because you expect these crazy riders to get crushed by a vehicle at any moment. If after watching these videos you think you would like to try out being a messenger read this excellent post by a coder turned messenger. I personally love whipping through the city core on my Kona Jake and wouldn’t mind trying it out for a day or two…

NYC Messenger Race
In this video a camera mounted messenger follows a group of fellow messengers as they participate in a messenger race through the streets of NYC. This is amazing footage you feel like you are on a roller coaster ride the whole time.
Part 5 of a documentary called the “Need for Speed” featuring the “X-Men” a very eccentric gang of NYC messengers. Very retro.
