What does "Exposed to Red Light dangers" mean?
-
Ammon Skidmore said:
Exposure to the red-light district in his messenger job.

Elijah said:
Makes sense, but an odd sounding euphemism.

Elijah said:
The interesting thing about his bike is that it wouldn't look out of place for a modern bicycle delivery worker, except the angle of the seat.

The present fashionable aspect of single speed bicycles with a steel frame and no brakes comes from present-day (ie, last 30 years, lets say) bicycle messengers who wanted something that is simple to maintain, reliable, strong, and also (one assumes) different than what regular folks ride. In the last five or so years these same bikes have become popular with so-called "hipsters" and others. Mechanically this bicycle is much more like a modern "fixie" (fixed-gear bike) than either one is like a bike used today for road racing or mountain biking, etc. So yes, if you could get an unused bike like this kid has from the early 1900s and a new fixie side by side, they would look very much the same. The elegance of a bicycle is in this basic design, not in the application of certain modern technologies to that design.
