I am a member of the SYDBMA. That is short for Sydney Bicycle Messenger Association. Long ago I was indeed a bike courier. I like to help the current gang of bike couriers because I actually get a good vibe out of it. Long ago in a galaxy far far away... I was as fast as the fastest inner city bike messenger/courier, now I have a few bikes but I can in no way claim that I'm fast nor furious anymore.

All I really have is my health and retrospect of the situation.

I rode as a Bike messenger for just over 10 years. I now have a well paid job, and another one of them too. However I would gladly say that I would return to being on the bike all the time if I could. The reality is a mortgage and age has caught me.

I Know that I have called the same thing "Bike Messenger" and "Bike Courier", but the only difference is geography.

I come from Sydney Australia and can happily claim that I am not well traveled at all... However I have been told that I am a worldly kinda guy.

Currently I am excited.

I am excited about the fact that in October of this year SYDBMA is hosting the 2006 CMWC. Things here in Sydney have been a factory of ideas and movements towards the final show. There is a committee for this and a group for that... They all report in and stuff indeed gets done.

I have done what I can and I hope that THEY (kinda like the royal "WE") pull it off. I have set them up a web site and offer to do the maintenance on it

good luck guys I wish you a great CMWC XIV
