SF's Legendary Bike Messengers Unveiled
Last July, I spent the better part of a day interviewing a few of the legendary bike messengers who ply their trade in San Francisco. It did not get produced as a podcast at the time because a lot of priorities got changed when the one of a kind, 15-person http://www.bikeroute.com/BusycleWestCoastBusycle ended up in my driveway. It helped us end our 5th Annual Mayors' Ride in grand style in the Golden Gate City on July 28 as we led the Critical Mass bike ride up Market Street. And it has kept me jumping ever since. That combined with a house and office move and all of the work of winding down our national event and getting a new one started, my How America Can Bike and Grow Rich tour, and I have not been able to share this fun with you until now. When I did the interviews, I set out to learn more about an occupation that few people know very much about. Hopefully you will go away with a better understanding of how what looks like glory and fun to some, is a lot like any other kind of work where responsibility, discipline, patience and people skills are important keys to success. The five different people, two women and three men, that I exchanged with, in interviews that ranged from ten to fourteen minutes, all can be heard by double clicking on each of their names below: http://nationalbicyclegreenway.com/Podcasts/BikeMessengerJodi.mp3Jody http://nationalbicyclegreenway.com/Podcasts/BikeMessengerLon.mp3Lon http://nationalbicyclegreenway.com/Podcasts/BikeMessengerChrist7-06.mp3 Chris http://nationalbicyclegreenway.com/Podcasts/BikeMessengerShark.mp3Shark http://nationalbicyclegreenway.com/Podcasts/BikeMessengerWendy.mp3Wendy To hear Fast Freddy Markham, Big CIty Mayors, HiWheel cyclists, bicycle company owners and activists, and etc, go to our NBG Mountain Movers Podcast series by double clicking on the Podcast icon below http://www.bikeroute.com/NBGPodcasts.php z Martin Krieg "Awake Again" Author http://www.BikeRoute.com/MKRIEG.HTML '79 & '86 TransAmerica Bike Rides Coma, Paralysis, Clinical Death Survivor NBG Founding Director, HiWheel Cyclist |
