They are the road warriors of Chicago streets.
Bike messengers slice through traffic, clashing with drivers, battling buses and dodging pedestrians who dare cross their path.
More than 300 bike messengers in Chicago work year-round to make an estimated 1.1 million deliveries a year, mostly downtown, according to the city's 2015 Bike Plan, which was implemented in 2006. They are perhaps the most colorful representatives of a growing number of commuters and others driven to two wheels by such factors as the high price of gas.
But as they buzz along city streets, bike messengers ride a fine line between speedy delivery and unwarranted risk. Some drivers and pedestrians see messengers as reckless riders who follow their own set of rules.
