HammerHed Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzE-IMaegzQ&feature=player_embedded A NYC cyclist who received a fine for straying out of the bike-lane recorded this video of his attempt to ride around town without leaving the bike-lane, instead crashing merrily into any obstacle that he encountered, from taxis to construction equipment.

Weight Weenie Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Cool vid. Thing is that if we have bike lanes everywhere here it will probly be the same or even worse - taxis, pedestrians, potholes and the metro will make a fortune ticketing you for straying out the lane and not them It's like people saying "ride on the sidewalk". Listen to the word, it's sidewalk, not sideride

Hairy Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Love that clip ... Adderly str has a great dedicated cycle lane, but riding there is a serious risk with pedestrians and vendors ... then Bree street did a nice painted cycle lane, but the chops like double parking in here and also use it as loading bays.

LeTurbo Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Makes me feel like doing the same thing! First, however, I need a good old rusty bike with lots of sharp bits to scratch the crap out of things, as well as a good course in stunt work.
