"Double Rush"

"Double Rush" is a New York City bike messenger documentary made in 1986 by Aziz Rahman & Jessica Agullo. 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.
