Yeah, I rode one for years when I was younger but stopped due to issues with my knee. I ride a dutch style bike with an internal hub on the rear these days, but do miss how the track bike is so light and fluid once you're used to it. It becomes like an appendage instead of being a bike you ride. For anyone unfamiliar the reason they're popular with messengers and such is in urban traffic it becomes very smooth and simple to keep pace with the cars surrounding you. And some people just ride them because they like doing the skid stop or bar spins or such. These days messengers favor hot rod e-bikes though because they're just dramatically faster and that directly corresponds to more income.
