New York Messengers

Come in more varieties than their SF cousins. And they never roll up their right pant leg.


There are guys that get around on public transportation:

Many bikes have front baskets. Plus there is an entire subsection of messengers who just deliver food. I heard the money's not that bad.

Most use the diesel chain to lock up:

Over the course of my visit, I tried to imagine working in this city. I think I would have enjoyed it, though the cold might be an issue.

Awesome post. Seems like there would be more work, but the cost of living is just as high or higher. Definitely tough living.
