There are a bunch of young people here (and in many other cities, too) who emulate the look of bike messengers. Expensive track bikes, messenger bags, rolled up jeans, hoodies (in cool weather), they ride around looking cool and hip. Some of them hang around with couriers (almost like groupies) and attend courier events, and others just ride about, looking for all the world like messengers - except for the most part their bikes are a bit too expensive and they themselves are a bit too clean.
If cleanliness is next to godliness, it's no wonder so many aphorisms exhort us to get down and dirty. The gods are tricksy and swift to thwart. Being near can be dangerous...
