From John Olsen's 1989 book Mountain Biking:
Bad roads and bad traffic remain, but 20-odd years on—WTF, did messengers ever really ride MTB and dress like that?
You know what, I vaguely recall that they did…it was the '80s after all.
Work is just something I do between bike rides
Bike messengers need to jump on the MTB bandwagon, not just for their "strength and comfort" but also because they "beat bad roads and bad traffic".
