Hi Jeremy, My name is Benjamin Royer. I use to commute in Sacramento, Ca and I do know what it's like to ride a bicycle in downtown. I'm a mountain bike rider and I was thinking of doing some bike messenger job as soon as I can get a new mountain bike. I have been taught how to handle some extreme conditions and I was wondering if you could give some advice for me. I already tried ridding road bikes and they don't have the type of ridding style that I'm used to, so, it has to be a MTB. My e-mail is benroyer@hotmail.com. I've been thinking that this would be a job I'd like. P.S. The drivers in Sacramento are very bad. I've been sideswiped, rammed, and shot at by airsoft guns. I know how bad a bicyclist has it.
