it is funny the technology of the day is so much of the messenger's day
just as the beeper came on and added the business the fax machine came on and threatened to kill it the industry did not die originals and such keep the industry alive walkie talkies which were amazing when they happened will soon be phased out as digital two ways like a Nextel phone can handle the same tasks but all these things happen on the move maybe at a risk risk is part of these people's day to day life some of these guys crave pushing the danger riding fixed gears no handed and flipping the bag forward only to slip out a package and pass it off to a car courier to take it out of town some people seek risks some people are fueled by this
that cat has been a messenger (and a hardcore rider) for longer than most of the top pros of the day have been riding bicycles
while I totally agree that talking on cell phones or text messaging while operating a moving vehicle is completely inappropriate, I would like to point out that the courier is traveling in a straight line with no other vehicles around. He is using a Nextel radio to speak with his dispatcher--a technology that allows brief questions and answers while only using one hand and not blocking any view and allowing the ability for full range of head motion. While it does appear that he is looking down and not paying attention, I have full confidence that Mark (aka Stutterin' Mark, aka Remix) can handle himself on that bike while speaking to his dispatcher, carrying a box and saying "whats-up" to a friend at the same time. Mark doesn't smoke cigarettes--hence the reason he is not smoking one. He also has a super cute stutter that comes out when he gets a little nervous. He probably talks best while doing something else at the same time, such as riding his bike, in order to keep himself from focusing on his nervous stutter. Just a thought--some people aren't wired to do only 1 thing at a time.

or at least hopefully warm
Why isn't that guy smoking?
Anyone text messaging on a bike should TOTALLY be smoking a cigarette, too.
My 2 cents.

but all these things happen on the move
maybe at a risk
risk is part of these people's day to day life
some of these guys crave pushing the danger
riding fixed gears no handed and flipping the bag forward

I am against the distractions of cell phones, head phones, and text message devices while operating a moving vehcle
but it happens
everything in moderation
and with respect and concern for the safety of others
