I think the proportion between couriers and non-couriers (don't make me use the F-word) is very different from NYC for example, or Tokyo or SF (I guess cause I haven't been there for a while). In london I'd say 80% of guys (or girls) on fixed gear bikes are couriers. In NYC I'd say 50%.
maybe I'm wrong.
Also less brakeless riders in London as some courier companies don't allow it.
