Master King Throwback 2000

No one can deny that the NYC bike messenger is responsible for the recent boom in the track bike. Check out this video, called Get the Message, featuring Kid, Squid and others. It’s great to see these guys are still cranking away and this is from 2000. I can’t wait to be back in New York next week.

Thanks for sharing Wilis.

    2000 is considered throwback?  I must be old.

      In this context, yes. It’s before Kid and Squid started CycleHawk and was at the prime time in NYC. Considering what all these guys have done for alleycats and the bike messenger world in general since this video was shot, I think throwback is more than appropriate.

      Much respect to Squid and Kid.
