i dont know how faux pas it is to ask, but does anyone know about the bike messengers in NYC? i heard there were about four companies, but that was a while back and that they were pretty hard to come by

just curious is all

There's two types of bike messengers...some are transporters, some are actually in the biz...you need to be in the know, that means getting a reference to give you their number. Then you leave a message and you'll get a callback. The first time you will usually have to meet them at a place of their choosing, but after you get to know them they'll come right up to your apt if you buzz them in.

Buy-in is alot, and the product is exhorbitantly priced, but if you want the convenience, it's worth it. Also sometimes it can take a couple of days to get a callback and up to all day to get served.

As for transporters the best thing to do is just ask. Seriously. Go to bars, ask around. You know the neighborhoods.
