Take 2 of the 8

For those of you wondering, there are 8 dedicated, highly motivated, true to the core or in this case corps professional bicycle messengers presently working the streets of Charlotte NC. That of course does not count the serious bike delivery guys out there representing Jimmy John's. 8 also does not count Ari, the girl doing super human cruiser deliveries of pizza and 2 liter bottles of Coca Cola. Although those 'food' bike people are people too they just do not count when it comes to the scene. So, out of the 8 real messengers I spotted two of them rolling the square in opposite directions yesterday. Check out none other than Paschal and TeamDicky Loudpants.

Paschal and his self touted Gorilla-like body parts rolling North. He saw the free wheeling chap on the left and decided to show him up with a little fixed gear magic, the track stand.

Then to top it off he buried the fellow cyclist with a quick jump on green off of the line.

Here comes Rich and his l'orange pantaloons.

Showing off his turning skills.

What's this? He just received an important contract related text from Moots.

Even though sending text messages on a bike is now illegal in the great state of North Carolina, he does it anyways because he is a pro and pros have to deal with their sponsors even if that means breaking the law.
