Here’s a little comment from one of our local couriers about the film we showed called ‘Pedal’. He said “that was a bit depressing -I hope people don’t think we’re that miserable” He was referring especially to the courier drug addicts they interviewed. He said that one of the companies that the film focused on hired drug addicts on purpose because they know they can work them to the bone – the drug addicts need more $ for drugs, so will work beyond what is physically healthy. Nice, eh? We don’t have any such company in Edmonton. We do have a lively courier community who sometimes arrange to have races, sometimes meet for beer or coffee after work, and have always seemed friendly and chatty to me. And we owe them thanks for bringing the North American Cycle Courier Championships to Edmonton in 1991 – that’s where we had our first Bikeology Festival and we haven’t lost our momentum since. Ride On working cyclists!
