I didn't even broach the topic from the subculture point of view, just from a practicality standpoint and suitability (for me). I definitely don’t disagree with you, Tyler.

Even if you wanted to do it, I don't think it's something you can just jump into by going down to your local distribution hub and handing them a resume. There really are only two cites in the US with a significant bike messenger scene (NY and SF), never mind the 40-50 mile days, 5 days a week. I'm a cyclist myself, and I'd have trouble handling that much mileage. It doesn't help you toward your goal of freeing yourself from 9 to 5 drudgery, but you might find it interesting to read up on bike messengers a bit. They're an interesting group of people.
