Bit of a nostalgic post - anyone ride for one of the Perth bike couriers back in the day? I found my old Crumpler messenger bag from the turn of the millenium and it works much better at distributing the weight on my commute than my backpack. Still looks amazing for something almost 27 years old. Instead of a radio, the pouch is perfect for a phone. In it I have loads of messages written in pen from those that rode for Super Couriers back in late 99/ early 2000. A bunch of characters! There was always some banter on the radios - someone would have seen something weird on George’s Terrace or a guy on a (at the time) very cool red Cannondale with the headshok suspension would be seen cruising no handed down towards Subi

Unfortunately, not my scene, but its a bit of a coincidence I saw a video clip in the last two days aboht bike couriers and how the scene has pretty much disappeared.
