The Immortal Class: Bike Messengers and the Cult of Human Power by Travis Culley
Rob's review
rating:
recommended for: pretty much no one.
A quick, romanticized slum into the "world of bike messengers". Rife with inflated language and inflated importance of someone who's desperately trying to convince himself that his life is a unique, burning flame. As an ex-messenger who's worked years in Pittsburgh and NYC I can say riding is an interesting and laudable subculture, but not in the flowery, idealist way Travis Culley portrays it.
