The Immortal Class, Culley's vivid evocation of a bicycle messenger's experience and philosophy, sheds a compelling light on the way human beings relate to one another and to the cities we inhabit. In describing his own history and those of his peers, he evokes a classic American maverick, deeply woven into the fabric of society from the pits of squalor to the highest reaches of power and privilege yet always resolutely, exuberantly outside. And he celebrates a culture that eschews the motorized vehicle: the cult of human power. In The Immortal Class, Culley takes us in-side the heart and soul of an urban icon the bicycle messenger. In The Immortal Class, Culley takes us in-side the heart and soul of an urban icon the bicycle messenger.
In one of the most dangerous jobs on dry land, he found freedom. He became an invisible man in society, yet at the same time its most intimate observer. He rode like a postmodern cowboy across the city's landscape he passed like a shadow through its soaring office towers he soared like a falcon through the roaring chaos of the multilayered streets of Chicago. In becoming a bike messenger, he found a sense of community and fulfillment and a brotherhood of like-minded individualists. He knew he'd have to struggle, but he found that his struggle meant more than hard work and a taste for poverty. Travis Hugh Culley came to Chicago to work and live as an artist.
