In 1986 in New York City, there were no fax machines and there was no email. There was only one way to get a package delivered between 34th & 59th streets in Manhattan within 15 minutes, guaranteed. The only option for this situation was a special bike messenger run called the "Double Rush". The extraordinary bike messengers shown in "Double Rush" regularly did the Double Rush run.Authornoreply@blogger.comBlogger61100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741434871351080254.post-29525315069991038262008-01-18T01:54:00.000-08:002008-01-18T02:45:18.351-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_poMB1AnjoEk/R5B3jsgvHkI/AAAAAAAAAGs/RnYzwsY2G-c/s1600-h/IMG_6734.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_poMB1AnjoEk/R5B3jsgvHkI/AAAAAAAAAGs/RnYzwsY2G-c/s400/IMG_6734.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156753028466810434" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Scene from "Double Rush" documentary.
