  • mess work, n. cycle-messenger work

    I.AM.WE.ARE, 18 April 2016:

    Chelsea Marie: Well, I work as a bike ambassador for Transportation Alternatives and as a messenger on my off days. There is so many ways in which TA and mess work has contributed to my life of cycling. Transportation Alternatives advocates for people who commute throughout NYC without using a car and we pretty much fight for a commuter’s safety by petitioning for protected bike lanes, more time for crossing the street or easier ways of taking public transportation because cars can be a vicious thing in the wrong hands and with being out in the field reaching out to so many people from all walks of life, it’s really showed me how just riding a bike could bring spread out communities closer together. If you want to ride a bike it shows me that you want to change the world, help create a healthier world; so it’s given me a chance to really meet some amazing people and have great connections into different aspects of the cycling world other than racing. Also, being a messenger part time is a great way to keep me in shape, keep me zooming around the city that I love and show me many new places the city has popping up every single day.
