Internet Endangers Big-City Tradition: The Bike Messenger
Thread started by Bootlegger at 07.28.08 - 3:53 pm

"There is really not much left. It's dying," says Matt Flores, co-owner of Wheels of Justice, a San Francisco courier service. Flores recently halved his full-time bikers -- "document clerks," as he calls them -- from eight to four. His top runner earns $50,000 a year, he says.

 So, why is it that they're only limited to documents and such?

I'm quite sure most messengers are capable of delivering laptops, and other valuable electronics.
A 24-case pack of beer is heavier than a couple small, computers as well, so I'm guessing the only other reason vans deliver is due to security?

But then again, armored trucks get knocked over all the time.

 50K a year ????
When I was a (motor)bike messenger I never made more than $200/week and then I had to pay for all the traffic / parking tickets.

With all the e-commerce there should be more UPS, FedEx jobs.
