Spectacular biking.

**joulseenjoync** · 09-30-2006, 08:24 PM

It takes so much skill riding a bike in the city. Try it for one day, like those messengers do, I guarantee you that you will get hit or squished.

**repldoinfo** · 09-30-2006, 08:25 PM

haha pretty damn cool[thumbup]
reminds me of the audi vs bmw on the russian highway, hehe

it really hurts my brain trying to think of why anyone would want to live there though

**Bridgester** · 09-30-2006, 08:34 PM

Great video, the music in the video was good.. Does anyone know who it is by?

I'd love to give that a go, but there isn't anywhere near where I live, not even close to that amount of traffic/chaos like that has!

**gooseCile** · 09-30-2006, 09:25 PM

Very dangerous and irresponsible driving, ignoring just about every rule there is. [thumbdown]

The music reminded me of Ryan Adams...

I didn't see anybody driving, they were cyclists.

**gooseCile** · 09-30-2006, 09:40 PM

Well, riding then.

**propolo** · 09-30-2006, 09:45 PM

bikers BY LAW required to obey all the traffic rules that applies to vehicles. Irresponsible biking. There's nothing cool about it. It is dangerous to bikers, pedestrians and drivers.. I'm glad im not living in NY.

**Cyncceply** · 09-30-2006, 09:48 PM

I agree. They're the sort of cyclists that give the rest a bad name. [thumbdown]

**standaman** · 09-30-2006, 10:12 PM

New York must be a fun city drive in with your car

NY owns.

One wrong move or one slip you either end up under a bus or careering into some poor pedastrian, absolutely stupid and no wonder New York drivers and supposedly trying to make their life more difficult by opening doors in a jam to cut them off.

**mylittlejewelaa** · 10-01-2006, 01:33 AM

Uh-oh,the nanny squad is here!!!

Anyways,cool,looks fun.

**Feelundseenna** · 10-01-2006, 01:47 AM

Maybe they should try that in Moscow and then boast about their skills

**Audi_z** · 10-01-2006, 04:22 AM

Bike messengers are a necessary evil in a metropolitan city. However, since this was a race, they were clearly being more careless than usual.

**uphokyhuP** · 10-01-2006, 05:12 AM

Here's a bunch of other such messenger races and whatnot. http://www.digave.com/videos/index.htm

I give myself some leeway in what laws I follow when I ride but certainly nothing to those extremes.

**newpiknicker** · 10-01-2006, 05:34 AM

LOL, I wouldn't think twice about running over any of those guys if they drove like that infront of me.

**EtellaObtaite** · 10-01-2006, 05:35 AM

That was unbelievable, makes you wonder why there are even cars in NY. Just park it and ride your bike the rest of the time

Also, how the f did he make that pass around the 3:25 mark? I thought he was pinned in for sure
