today i put derps on the new bike and dialed in the fit, found out one of my riding buddies/coworkers has a youtube channel after recently getting a gopro
i remember a while ago someone was wondering what its like to ride in nyc, basically like this:
its a good look at what messengering is actually like and not some video of hooliganism and stupidity

That video is rad. But nuts! I would be so dead by now.
Anyway, today I'm glad that I take my time to lock up my bike as best as I can. Felt bad for whoever this happened to though.

of course it is what messengering is like, thats exactly what hes doing.
its called a time lapse video. obviously people dont teleport all over manhattan either, if they did people wouldnt need his services. or cars for that matter.

no **** sherlock! sorry you cant wrap your head around the fact that the playback speed of the vid has nothing do do with whats actually taking place. noone watching this video except you thinks hes actually going 40 mph inbetween cars.

Fresh Garbage
You guys would be surprised how easy it is to ride in NYC traffic if you're an experienced rider. Traffic is SLOW, a lot less rigid rules lets you dominate the road and really take things into your own hands anywhere on the road. I felt like a fool for not taking some of the red lights when there was an opening. Then it all falls back to normal in the less congested area. I thought it was a lot of fun riding there and I felt a lot safer.

I felt the same way riding in Chicago to be honest, much safer even with the increased traffic vs. where I live. I dislike time lapse videos because it takes away from the video, and does not enhance it to me. I would rather see things in real life speed.

Exactly, that vid is misleading as hell. If you want a city challenge try San Francisco. With the hills, fog and trolley tracks you have to be on your toes there.

Also, today I'm going to see the likes of Indecision, Grade, None More Black, Kill Your Idols, etc. So psyched.
