As a cyclist who lives in NYC (The Bronx), and a former bike messenger (1979-86), it's important to obey the rules of the road. Now 62 years old and still riding it's a bigger challenge with E-bikes and scooters who DON'T obey the rules of the road. Great video but it just doesn't apply to NYC standards. I always obey the rules of the road. Maybe that's why I'm still alive.

Bahahaha as if ANY cyclist obeys road rules 😂 what a joke. Police need to start issuing fines to these fools, and then they might start obeying rules. Until then they pick and chose what they want, red light....no thanks, signal turns.....no thanks, ride as close as possible to the side of the road......yeah no thanks, play a victim all the time.....YES PLEASE 😂😂😂, be a Karen or Darren......YES ALWAYS 😂😂

Leet me ask you a question Why in God's green earth would you ride your bike with traffic? When you can't see the cars comming and they'll run your ass over. Especially in the big city. On too of that they probably hit and run, abd tell the police I didn't know it was a human Ithought it was a dog
@ShatteredF1re7733Ай бұрын
Because when you get hit by a car from behind you only get hit by a car going 20 mph faster than you. 40mph car - 20mph bike = 20mph impact. When you get hit by a car coming the opposite direction you get hit by a car going their full speed plus your speed. So 40mph car + 20mph bike going the wrong direction = 60mph impact. The likely hood of you surviving is expnentially increased if you are going with traffic.

It is NOT safest to ride on the streets. Dont give wrong info that takes thousands of lives every year. It should be safest in an ideal world. But in the real world, offenses against bikers almost always go unpunished n enforcement is not taken seriously. Car n truck drivers need go thru more training n education to make streets safer for bikers.

" ride on the right side of the road " ??? i would like to see that law . it might exist in some states and or towns but generally that is not the law and is bad advice .most Drivers believe that a bicycle MUST ride to the right and become irate if they don't . however if there is no law stating that then it is safer to take up the entire lane making drivers pass you as if you were a car .riding to the right is dangerous in that one may encounter drainage grates , glass or other tire puncturing debris and it encourages dangerously close passes by cars .

I’m enjoying the bike so far kzread.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA My only real complaints are the brakes and the pedals. I feel like a bike designed for bigger people should have much larger pedals and more heavy duty brakes. I’ve only gotten two really good rides out of it, minimal downhill action, and the brakes feel like they’re already going out. A larger person has more momentum, so I think this wasn’t thought through very well. Also, I wear size 13-14 wide shoes. My feet cramp up on these pedals that are clearly made for smaller feet. Since I’m not a pro rider (and I don’t think many are who purchase this bike) I don’t think that the straps on the pedal are necessary at all. None of this takes away from the enjoyment I get from riding, however. I’ll just head to a bike shop to improve on a few things.

Respect for the people who made this video. Every time I see a new ‘Honoring the fallen’ video appear on my ‘notification’ list I get a lump in my throat and spend the next few minutes thinking about if I even want to see this. But every time I watch it. And every time I get emotional watching these men and women who paid the ultimate price while serving their country and people. These are not just names or police job titles but real people with a life, with dreams, a family. And these videos let us see how real the danger is for law enforcement officers. So, why are there only a few people watching this?? I am from the Netherlands and I watch this!! And I am deeply moved by every name and face I see.

Traffic laws, by and large, are designed to organize and prioritize motorized traffic. Following them on a bike often creates more danger than it avoids, and it absolutely negates efficiencies gained by riding a bike over driving. My rules are simple: Don't hit anyone or anything, avoid being a hazard to others, and avoid getting hit by a motorist. I'll do whatever works to achieve those three things.

Here is the problem with bicycles on the road. They are not registered like cars, you do not need a license or insurance to ride them on the street and they rarely obey the laws, especially red lights. Sidewalks and bike paths are probably a safer place for them and everybody else. Of course, downtown NY City would disagree.
