Has anyone else been watching this show about bike messengers in NYC?

Not sure I agree with some of the antics of the bikers being glorified in the name of getting a letter delivered accross town in 15 minutes, but it does have train wreck entertainment value, I guess.

I know these flying bike kamikazes are in the minority of bikers in NYC, but I do have to wonder of it's the more visible "outlaws" that have lead to police action like against bikers recently.

I saw the first one, not the second but it is on my DVR. In Austin I have seen people ride like this downtown, it is infuriating because cyclists are already fighting to be respected here. Most people think anyone on a bike just rides because of Lance Armstrong and are "wannabes". And then they see people running lights, weaving in traffic and think that cyclists have an above the laws concept.
