Hey, I am 18 and race road up in New England. This summer, I will be in NYC for the most part, and was thinking of working as a Bike Messenger to make some extra cash. However, I do not know the roads extremely well yet. Does anyone know of good Messenger Companies that I should look out for to approach? I will be applying for Part-Time, or at least Full-Time for only about a month or two. I've seen Urban Express and Quik-Trak, but Quik-Trak states that they only accept Full-Time. Also, do you know the going wages for bike messengers? Thanks.
