ZeroEnigma riding a bicycle in NYC
I can watch this all day.
I can see his point. People are clueless and need to pay attention. I think he posts a vid once a week. |

That narrator is an a-hole... sort of deserves a well timed stick in the spokes
He berates pedestrians... Walking was a form of transportation for eons before a bicycle was invented... In the transportation hierarchy pedestrians have the right of way... I drove in Manhattan yesterday for the first time in many years... Bicycle delivery /messengers have little or no respect for rules of the road... They swarm intersections, ride against traffic....ride on the sidewalk... And get this... NYC has spent millions of tax dollars to implement Bike lanes... And often time the Bicyclists ignore the real estate provided for them at huge expense. Wish I had a dashcam to provide another view

I agree TimT, I watched 16 minutes of it, without the sound being on, turned it on for a few minutes just to verify my 'soundless' impression. He rides like an entitled bicyclist.

I really don't know how he's lasted as long as that video shows.

You guys should watch more. He yells at people walking in the bike lanes, cars not using turn signals, trucks parked in the bike lane, bicycles riding the wrong way, cars blocking intersections.

With the amount of people crammed into the space of NYC....it's no wonder everyone can't follow the letter of the law.
The biker is prob gonna get in a good fight sooner or later.

A lot of bicycle messengers/delivery people "dive bomb" an intersection when a light turns yellow, so instead of slowing and using caution, they get up off the seat and try to build speed and make it across the intersection before lights change.. Why isn't this behavior being shown? Come to NYC and observe..

I get alarmed when riding out here in my ex-urban environment. Riding in NYC looks terrifying.

Guy on the bike is an Azzhold. Those are the people who will call God if the sky starts to rain. They were born unhappy. Another butt head that needs to get hit by a school bus

Sorry, Otto, but this guy's angry about everything. I see all this stuff on a daily basis on my bike. Life's too short to yell at every rulebreaker on the road.

and thats the problem
there are rules but lots of people don't bother so you have chaos Every time I do a road trip to Vermont I'd like to stop in NYC for a visit but I know the the traffic is going to suck so I keep going north. I'll have to research a visit so I know the best way to get in and see the sights without getting stuck in a quagmire. |

One reason I like this guys videos is I get a ground view of NYC with all the normal people going about their day. I find it appealing and revolting at the same time.

That guy is good example of why people do not like cyclists. Could not get through three minutes of that. Maybe with the sound turned off.

Quite a contrast as to my bike rides.
I smile and say 'Hi' or wave to everyone I meet on the trails or streets. It's almost always returned with the same.
