video: NYC commute via Fixie: POV



An art form. A study showed the average car in NYC goes about 5 mph or something…bikes can beat that, easy (as long as you ride like this guy, going from Midtown to Chelsea). A little harder than my commute in Boulder from my lil’eco Victorian to elephant’s lil’eco office or the Trident Café.

    Reminds me of my commute down Comm Ave in Boston. Fun times!

    That’s amazing he hardly stops!

  3. admin says:

    I counted about one car passed per second in the first minute, if you count all three lanes.

  4. Annoyed says:

    This is _exactly_ why bicyclists get a bad name; there are multiple times he could easily have caused an accident, intentionally cutting off vehicles, etc.

    This is, by no means, something to be proud of — It's just another case in point of reckless driving on a bike, to prove a point of being able to get from Point A to B in x amount of time, with obviously little to no regard for those around him.

    I would have chosen to go down the West side highway bike path myself. I like cheap thrills, but biking through midtown is not one of them!
