I didn't knew bike couriers existed before I saw this movie on TV. Is this common in NY, or is Uber introducing the idea? Bicycle couriers have been in New York City and other large cities in the United States (including mine, Minneapolis) for a long time. They are especially suited for traveling from one building in a dense "downtown" area to another. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_messenger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_messenger http://www.blazingsaddles.net/ http://www.blazingsaddles.net/
