Ten years ago, an estimated 150 messengers worked in Seattle. Today, the number is 50 to 75. Other cities have experienced similar declines, with The Economist reporting that New York has lost more than 1,000 messengers since the dawn of the new millennium.

    I am reminded of the video for Nada Surf’s “Whose Authority”, featuring a bike messenger on the streets of New York City. On some of the sites on which it was previewed, there’s a lot of negativity from user comments being spewed about how out of touch the band must be to have chosen such an “irrelevant” symbol.
