My outlaw commuting video!
Inspired by the excellent @JoeyBike series, I decided to make my own outlaw commuting video.
There is a bit of cursing in it, so please protect your younglings. Also, if you are one of those A&S people, this may be too much for you.
Enjoy!

LOL. You'd be more aero with drops though. And maybe a bell next time so you don't have to get into it with those pedestrians.

I am a little more civil to the hookers and cops, but not too far off. Except that motorized traffic seems to be actually looking out for you at times. That's pretty far fetched.
Can you dial up a 5pm rush hour scenario? Maybe get on the freeway for a while during gridlock?

If only real vehicular traffic moved that predictably...

It was fun. But I was hoping for another real life video.

that chic that said "hey you" sounded cute. you give her a look-back? that was hysterical especially the perpetual salmoning. but that white on black anti-pedestrian run-overs ... hmmm me-thinks not-cool yo. but that was really impressive and very well done. you got me to laugh out loud when you out smarted & fliped off the fuzz. loved the cliff jump but was that you shooting? not cool. so weird

So funny! It took me a good many seconds to realize it wasn't a real video! I was busy trying figure out why you had no brake levers -- fixie or coaster?

I was referring to getting on the freeway with your virtual bicycle. Could you do it? Maybe see how many cars would pile up if nothing else.

Kinda tame, really. I was hoping to see you hanging on to a car for some crazy high speed action. At least you got in some time on the sidewalks. Also, try adding in a little Airzound to make the peds jump a little more.

Up in the hills near the parks you can find super crazy road bikes.

Dang, you only got 2 stars on that run? GTA V I presume? Is that some kind of mod for riding bicycles or is that built into the game?
I was also pretty impressed how it actually looked like you were slowing down when going up hills and stuff. The realism is crazy sometimes!

I like how the bike rider can clearly hear the shouting from the cars.
I prefer public transportation. It's much more relaxing:
