To Be a Bike Messenger in Montreal and because and I had a bmx bike they kinda laughed at me and said I Couldn't do it. But Anyway now im with an urban assault bike :) and ready to crank it up again all summer. I Just Hope I could get the god damn job. I Know i'm typing this on a rave site [talk about a fucking addiction] :P Nway Im just asking to anybody that is reading this if he as anything to say about the bike messengers in montreal, you hate em, you like em, you don't give a fuck about em, you know one personnaly... or let the topic die.. at least I tried.

So if i can get paid while doing it that would be awesome :D Ive already had a lot of bike injuries with head conscusions and all so i can deal with the risks of the job :) ... Lee, is Purple Lee here ? |

 Coolness: 229750 | its very demanding on the body, you pedal as hard as you can for like 8 hours, not countin the time to get to and from work, and do it 5 days a week, its contrary to proper excercise regime, it slowly burns all your muscle down to a smaller shape. Eat LOTS of protiens. |

 Coolness: 238695 | Being a bike courier for 7 years i have had tons of fun, but if you are doing it because you expect tons of cash then you are in for a rude shock ( it takes time to build up your speed & experience)
This is a type of job where you either like or not for there is no middle ground. Just most thingz you get better as time goes on. Take it from this job comes with its own problems...example being broadsided by a car(small hint it hurtz) If you are looking for a job where you get into the best shape of your life...this is one of them Us bike courier are a sort sub culture made up of a lot different peeps from all walk of life Try and see if you like it. If anyone on this board has any other question just contact me and ask away Even after being a really bad crash i miss this job a lot and if thingz workout right i will return, but only time will see(first i need to heal & walk on my two feet again) Lee |

| Coolness: 238695 | Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in D:\Websites\rave.ca\website\include\functions\rw_code.php on line 103 This is the bike that i am going to be getting to replace the one that was turned into a paper weight in my crash. What people have to under stand about being a bike courier it is a job that is base soully on cominsion ( the faster you are the more package you can pickup & drop off)...that is how you make your money. Last year there was a move...well it took a couple of years to get people thinking about getting into a union. The major problem with us bike couriers is that we also needed the drivers to be on our side. This did not work @ all. A bike courier falls in the gray area of jobs. We have no saluray, we don't get paid for vacation @ all, if you are hurt while dong the job there is CSST or Saaq to cover you, but this takes time, you can be fired on the spot if you really fuckup hardcore. There is room to make the courier world better, but that requires everyone working together and i don't see that happening if ever. Don't get me wrong I love being a bike courier, but i do see where being one sucks. The job it self has enriched my life that is for sure. Lee |

| Coolness: 158810 | je suis desolee j'ai aucune photo avec moi.les manches du guidon sont noires,le frame est argent,le reste chrome,le siege typiquement banane de couleur noir. a la roue avant il y a la croix de fer...les quelques accessoires sont extra [ cool.com ] le changement de vitesse .. pour quelqu'un qui veut la perfection il a besoin d'etre demonte et repeind... il est entrepose au quebec.anyway si tu voudrais l'acheter c le genre d'affaire faudrait que tu vois..pis que tu roule un peu avec..si c'est la vitesse que tu cherche je suis pas ton deal..
mais c'est un beau bike qui roule tres bien si tu veux te ballader! |
