That's Reese. He has never posted here as far as I know.
NPR - Pittsburgh Bike Messenger
An article on NPR has a photo of a Pittsburgh Bike Messenger. Are they on this board?

NPR:"Perhaps this bicycle messenger in Pittsburgh, photographed during a snowstorm Jan. 11, is trying to tell us something."
awesome picture tho
This belongs on the "You Know You're a Biker When..." Thread - You know you're a biker when you can identify/be identified despite hat being pulled down, sun glasses on and balaclava in place. ...Only in Pittsburgh!
Ha! I'm always running into this guy in when I get to work downtown in the mornings! Now I can put a name w/ a mask!
Shot this at a Freeride party in 2008.
there was some bunk html in there
Great photo, I've seen that guy, but I just thought Joan Rivers was in town.
I see that guy all the time at work and school (he's usually at peppi's when I see him, or chatting with the security guards at the art institute)
I used to live 2 blocks from him, and see him downtown like the rest, I've always referred to him as the punisher. serious punisher fetish, and one of the few regular cyclists with a stogie. respect.
I used to chat with him at OTB every so often. He was always pretty cool--a little crazy, but pretty cool.
reese! you should have seen the bike he used to ride to work at triangle. all black y frame with black mag wheels and a solid rear rack. he never did calls with it. he loved it too much.
@nick pretty cool--a little crazy, but pretty cool.
Operational definition of "bike messenger", yes?
love this dude! i never see him anymore because i am not downtown as often.
Saw him riding out on the Fifth Ave sidewalk near Sixth Ave around 3:45 this afternoon. I'd seen him before but never paid any attention. Now that I know what he looks like, he's instantly recognizable.
This guy is awesome. I ended up riding next to him downtown once, and some huge woman stepped out right in front of us. She got a stern talking-to from him. lmao
