bike courier / messenger alley race ( “alley cat“ )/ boston 1992 ish

this was produced with the intent of being broadcast on sports channel america’s show “high adventure TV“ but was not aired because the content was deemed to be “too dark“...heh heh. i was a bike courier from 1987 to 1993 and eventually ran my own company called go-go courier. i was taken out of the game by a brand new Harley going the wrong way down franklin street. I hired the lawyer that stuck his card in my pocket as i lay there and whispered in my ear to “take the ambulance ride“ ...he seemed like the obvious choice. i sold go-go while laid up- as the new school sharks circled my clients. eric cheech, dom from presto and billy wig covered for came back a couple times to cover for ted-the-pest or best bike... special thanks to laura (lara fara) from coffee connection from all of us at winthrop square--she kept us on this side of sanity--can i get a hell yeah? i still ride my bike everywhere. sportin a white 87 cannondale nowadays and a schwinn stingray.
