@t j Honestly, as a biker I agree with this. I can only go half the speed that cars can so if I had to choose between competing with cars or slowing down to maneuver around foot traffic I'd pick the foot traffic any time. It's safer for everyone because as a biker I have more leeway to adjust to pedestrians than cars have to adjust to me. One time some entitled idiot stopped to talk to someone on a sidewalk and decided to take up the entire width of it, but got mad at me for not biking in the road and wanting to pass them. The road section had less than a person's width in space between the outer boundary line and the cement curb, so no room to bike unless I was at speed with traffic which is physically impossible. I was also biking a very short distance on the left sidewalk, taking two left turns to get on and then back off the road so I would have had to cross the road with no crosswalk, bike that short distance, then cross again with no crosswalk all while sharing space with traffic. Yeah, no, I'm not gonna bike through that so their entitled ass didn't have to stop taking up the whole sidewalk. I even gave the courtesy of slowing down to just about walking speed, and stopping before I reached them to give them time to be aware that I was there.

To be fair. With the amount of people stood to the side, and the width of each path, it's inevitable that some people are going to be in the cycle path. Especially with that many people going in both directions trying to get out of each other's way.

The problem is, if youre on a bike, everyone assumes youre on it by choice, for some kind of leisure trip. But if they hear a horn they think "yeah he wont stop for us so we better move". All the anti bike people raise a good point. You shouldnt have to remind people of the threat of bodily harm upon collision to keep them out of the way. We cyclists agree. I couldnt tell you why it is that they move when they hear the horn and they dont move when they hear the bike, or the sound of a human voice politely asking them to move. Except that they take the car horn seriously and when they hear the bike they... it just sounds like an instrument for leisure. Especially the bell. The bell is a bad choice of sound, its like ringing the bell at some reception desk. No one wants to hear that sound, no one respects that gentle bell noise. Anyways yeah believe me i wish i didnt have to have near collisions... I wish people just respected me in the way i respect them. I dont ride on the sidewalk. I dont ride in the street. I ride on the bike path. But no one respects the areas that are designated for bike traffic. Believe me, i wish i had a car, i wish there was a separate platform for bikes. In fact, i wish i could teleport directly from where i am to my destination. But alas, im here with you on this path, and the more leeway i give you, the more leeway you take, so just move. Lets not play games. One side has a picture of a bike on it, the other has a picture of a person walking. I dont want to move you out of the way any more than you want to be in the way. But we both have things we want to do, and there is no objective metric to say who's activity is of more value (you doing the touristy slow walk across the bridge in the bike lane, or me trying to commute). So look, i dont make the rules, i just follow them.

Riding my bike to work is a great start to the day, this looks like a bloody nightmare!

I am still very pleased with my bike experience from a few years ago, where I showed pedestrians in a bold way, that they are walking on the bike lane. We had a motto-day in our school - I dressed up as a witch and had my broom with me on the bike (I transported it on my handlebars since it was too long to carry leghtsways on my bike (like 1,5m long broom). Right in front of our school was a narrow path (4-5m wide) and a lot of young 5th graders use to wait there for there 1st PE class (it was next to the gym). They used to be absolute jerks and not care about bikes passing on a daily basis. So that day again lots of bikes came through this narrow path, the kids didnt give way, even though we ringed twice. All of the bikes in front of me fit between the small gap in between the kids - i didnt because of the broom. I didnt stop driving though and just drew through them. Some of them got the broom brushed on their head. Of cause they cried angrily at me - well then make space for bikers 🙄

I have tried not to hate on people riding bikes but honestly it becomes so difficult when they are such an inconvenience to everyone else everywhere they go. I know it's not their fault but it's still annoying to encounter them. Whether you're driving a car, walking or even riding a bike of your own these people are always such a hassle to encounter.

Living in a midwestern, mid sized city that has very little cycling infastructure or cycling culture, sometimes I think all my cycling (I commute to work by bike) would be solved if I moved to a major metro area. But channels like yours and others show that all cities really have their own challenges. I mean yeah my city lacks cycling infrastructure, but I'm comfortable on the road if I need to be on it, and there aren't eighty gazillion tourists.

Statistically the odds are that it won’t be long before the biker and his horn rip someone in half.

A NY classic... Dustin Hoffman in Midnight cowboy: “I’m walkin’ here!!” This guy: “I’m ridin’ here!!”

Funny how cyclists are annoyed on slow pedestrians, and also annoyed that cars are annoyed on slow cyclists...

250 people for every bike, yet they have to share half the lane with you.

It's not that the people are stupid, but rather they have been insufficiently informed.

It was but only a week ago that this was the bane of bicyclists existence. Now we have our own dedicated portion of real estate.

Now he knows how motorists feel when bikes take up half the road!

Thank god I can just ride through the traffic in my city instead of the bike paths. It's way better to dodge cars than pedestrians imo.

Bike lanes usually don't come with pedestrians, not here in the Netherlands at least, but I guess some people aren't used to them yet in your country. Anyway, highly recommended, those bike lines, just needs to be done properly

It's a fucking bridge

I did this bike ride too....millions of pedestrians but I felt it was well worth it. Great NYC experience.

Meanwhile in the Netherlands people will ride right over the top of you without slowing down if you stand in the bike lane. No bell, no yell, instant broken leg.

Yeah, unfortunately at that point I would just shoot the person on the bike.

I feel the same when I’m driving and cyclists get in cars way, sometimes they are 2-3 beside each other. See what I did there…

It’s only okay if they do it.

Isn't it awful that NY can't afford to paint bicycles on the cycle lane like they do in [bicycle] civilized countries? ;-) You badly need a tricycle for crossing that bridge. Boadicea style!

If only you'd have looked before you commented. There were a whole bunch of them, but everyone just ignored them. They should just have seperate bridges for tourists and traffic.

The dislikes are the pedestrian who were in the bridge when this guy honked

when you start the video and see 30% is dislike, then you dont watch the video and put a dislike too :)

bike lanes need a same color worldwide that nobody like to step on by feet ! here in germany its RED

Meanwhile in any random city in the netherlands: “step onto a bike lane without looking on risk of serious injury and many angry faces” XD

@@jebipasadegene true it is not really comparable but thats Too bad actually for most US city’s. Better infrastucural planning makes a difference. E.g. It takes me more time to go by car to a supermarket than by bike. But we Will see developments coming in the future as fuel prices increase. O and bikes are much better build in both quality and comfort here that helps.

These pedestrians would’ve survived in Germany

dude has a lot of patience, i would be the type to run into people bc i would be going fast and yelling at the same time to get out of the way. i only give a loud warning once. even if they are from out of town and dont understand my language, they would be able to have time to see me coming, i wouldnt be cruising... i would be flying through there at high speed. of course, i will make sure to not hit any babies, they cant read elderly maybe, idk. depends, maybe slow down for them to give more time. honestly i have walked on the bike lanes before and thats because i didnt notice them, but if i see someone coming, i would move out the way, especially if they come yelling and had a warning. survival of the intelligent to move and not ignore the warning. if not, suffer my bike and i colliding into you at high speeds. cause if i get on a bike i did it to ride fast not be a little wimp and ride slow. its an adrenaline rush that i do if for. if not i would be running instead. even then if people were in my way i would let them know i was coming ahead of time. if not i cant stop. my body wasnt built to stop immediately, i am too big to stop suddenly. i could maybe go to the side but if its a narrow place thats crowded someone is getting tackled because i am not going down getting hurt, the people in the way will.

Pedestrian walkway is far too narrow to accommodate that amount of foot traffic. Best to make riders dismount and walk their bikes across, but I imagine they would ride across nonetheless, so Catch 22

I think it's crazy that people think pedestrians are in the wrong here. I mean have you seen the crowd? It's too busy to give half of the walkway to bicyclists. Go bike somewhere else.

It’d be cool if the lane sizes were proportional to their usage.

they're tourists give 'em some slack, known ny to be friendliness.

To be fair, the lack of Bicycle paint on the bike lane makes it not that obvious that it's a bike lane.

I do the same thing as a pedestrian when walking on the sidewalk, I never give way to a cyclist.

How hard is it for them to paint a bike symbol every 50m or something. And it's so frustrating to see how all the morons on that pathway make the bare minimum effort to move out of the way when they hear and see you coming through.

i wanna bet this person hops from road to sidewalk and dashes across pedestrians crosswalks whenever it suits them

Brilliant. That’s the way to do it.

In fairness to SOME of those people, it was packed in a few spots

Here in Melbourne Australia, we also have lanes designated for cyclists. The biggest problem we face is keeping said cyclists in their bike lane & out of the car lanes.

You should mount that one mega horn on your bike and record their reactions. 😂
