  • Mess Kollective is a Bike Messenger Company in New York City. They operate different than most companies in the way that there is no dispatch!
    All Mess Kollective messengers receive a notification when a delivery is placed, then they can check to see if the job has been claimed.
    They offer a few different services with their fastest delivery being 30 minutes or less, This is called the Scary!
    I was Able to Work with Victor a Messenger with the company for a year and a half! He was riding a Volume Fixed Gear.

    Average life expectancy all depends on which direction you are thrown from your bike. That and whether or not you land on top of a car or underneath one.

      @@801oap I believe how cool it is to have good reflexes, but pedestrians don't always have them, and if you bump into one, they could hit their head and remain permanently disabled or die, then that's not cool in my opinion. Seeing so many instances of this really depends on luck most of the time. I guess instead of coffee, the cyclist stimulates themselves with something else, that's why they're so daring.
