Cycle Messenger World Championship -- Philadelphia
Philadelphia, - The messenger communities of Philadelphia and Boston have joined together to present the world the Eighth Annual Cycle Messenger World Championship in the city of Brotherly Love-- Philadelphia. This international event will take place over the Labor Day Weekend of September 1st through the 4th, 2000. On that weekend anywhere between 500 and 800 competitors from 25 different countries will converge on Philadelphia to compete for a variety of world champion titles.
Since 1993, the CMWC has gathered in Berlin, London, Toronto, San Francisco, Barcelona, Washington DC and Zurich. The messengers come to compete in one of the most unique cycling events in the world. They will vie for the title of Fastest Messenger in the World as well as other titles. Among those are Cargo Bike champion, BMX trials and bunny hop, Track Bike skids and stands, and Sprints. Racers travel from points as far away as Tokyo and Australia. They also come from countries as unlikely as the Eastern Bloc (maybe say "Hungary" instead of "Eastern Bloc" since we do have some people coming from Hungary) countries and Scandanavia. These couriers long used to the hills of Sydney, the cold of Helsinki or the madness of London traffic, will come and show their skills and unique adapatations that have made them the best couriers in the world.
The CMWC is much more than a race. There will also be a group ride the eve of the championships that in 1996, at the CMWC San Francisco, attracted some 3,000 riders. From there messengers will converge on a "World Welcome Party." Once competitions begin there will be a plaza where various bike messenger paraphenalia and bike equipment will available for sale. Before the event there will also be a gallery of messenger art that will be open to the public.
We invite you to join us at the 2000 Cycle Messenger World Championships on September 1-4 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There you will see for yourself the professionals that love their job so much, they turned it into a sport.
