    HP Episode #48 David "Super Dave" Shimek

    HP Episode #48 David "Super Dave" Shimek

    Super Dave is still a current courier/messenger in downtown Houston but in his automobile. He started back in 1990 and everyone knew who Super Dave was; not only was he a bike messenger but he was a world traveler. He was a 1/4 of Humidity with his contributions to the Zine. He wrote many articles about his adventures, how to do your Taxes, and he taught me and others how to travel with your bicycle.
    This guy influenced me to get out there and try something new!
    ENJOY!
