It’s no secret that messenger and messenger-inspired events are hugely popular. Ten years ago you’d be hard-pressed to find an alleycat, or unlicensed underground bicycle race, in many cities across the United States. Alleycats and other bike-messenger events were mainly held in major cities with a large bike messenger population, and a decidedly underground phenomenon. With the popularity of track bikes exploding over the past few years, these events have started to sprout up in cities all over. Most of the people attending alleycats and other events aren’t messengers, just bicycle riders enjoying the newfound cycling scene in their city.
