Name that bike courier TV show from the 80's???

[hippy]

A recent discussion on aus.bicycle reminded me of a
television show that used to screen in Australia in the
80's. It was aimed at teenagers (I think) and was set
in a courier company operating in the UK somewhere.

The cast were early 20's(?) and I think the first episode
showed the cycle couriers racing a motorbike courier
(could have been two cycles though) through town.
I think during the series the couriers got mixed up with
some "bad people" and had to deal with them before
everything ended happily ever after..?

I know this is totally vague, but it was a long time ago.

I'd love to know the name of the show...

thanks for any ideas..

Streetwise.

It was brilliant, the show that made me want to be a cycle courier.
(Luckily, I grew out of that idea and am still alive today.)

IIRC the second series involved one of the team witnessing a RTC with an
ambulance. The ambulance turned out to be being used by some crims to
perpetrate some heinous crime, which they thwarted.

Greart progrmme.

You're awesome! Thanks! I googled the hell out of
bike, courier, tv, show, london, messenger, 80's,
all kinds of **** and couldn't find anything that looked
right.

thanks again!
