I fell down a YouTube rabbit hole of cycling vids and have been fascinated (in more ways than one) with a guy that follows/films fixie riders in various cities. This one is starts out a few blocks from where I lived in Brooklyn and ends a block away from where I worked next to Union Square. They cover this ground a little differently than I did.
When I rode, it was a heck of a lot faster than taking the subway and these guys absolute smoke it.
