First off, wtf is on dude's hip at 0:16? Looks like he's packin heat. Second, this is some ill fuggin riding!! What I don't get is how the cameraman is always looking straight ahead. Is it all peripheral vision clearing the intersections? Someone before mentioned that they are probably geared at 48x17. I ride a 48x15 and am wondering if this is too high? The ratios are close, but in terms of skidding and controlling/accelerating is it better to be geared lower or can this be done at 48x15?
@Bomenix14 i ride on a 47-13 and on straight aways goin balls out i can hit 32mph but on average i'd say 18-20mph. this dude's probably doin 23-26mph the whole time.

ok your messengers but that doesnt mean you have the right to go against traffic with your bike. i ride a fixed gear track bike on the streets but mann you gotta watch yourself. if you get hit by a car if you keep riding like this. they dont have to pay for your injuries. or you can end up dead. just Ride safe Guys.
@BeatMasterDee the hole point of being a messanger is to deliver the package as quick as you can. messengers can make up to 200$ a day if there this good.
Whiners should shut up. Respect for NYC Messengers, you guys are hardcore! I worked as a messenger for 5 years in The Hague, Holland is pretty safe for bikes, The Hague still has some tricky bits here and there, especially downtown but nothing compared to NYC!
this guy broke countless traffic laws in this video, and terrorized pedestrians, who have the right of way, trying to cross the street. I'd love to be a cop and give this asshole a slew of tickets and ban him from biking anywhere in NYC ever again.
You mean "you're" and idiot.... yeah, you can't spell a word that has five letters in it.... you have zero credibility and you are a bigger idiot. Did you hear about the cop in NYC who body checked a cyclist to the ground, and he got off on all charges even though it was caught on tape? You jerks don't have a lot of people on your side - cops and the jurors sure hate you.
@hotboi79a i sure could spell "you're" the correct way, but im not going to. you really think correcting peoples internet jargon makes you look any better? nope, your justt a fuck.

Actually, most of the wannabe messengers don't wear helmets...
But, this guy isn't being a dick in traffic. If a bike hits a car, the car has nothing to worry about. Before getting in the saddle, a rider HAS TO and I mean MUST KNOW that he is invisible, but not invincible. Act as if NO ONE can see you. Its the bike at risk. And pedestrians in NYC should know that messengers are around and should watch out for them: its their job.
@TheCucamongaKid actually pedestrians have the right of way - hipster faggot or not...
personally im looking foward to the day when i can clothesline one of these fags - i have a right to cross the street without worrying about some fucktard taking out my kid on his bike
it's not about being a tough guy. take a look at 1m 9 secs in the clip, if i was crossing with my three kids at that moment, the guy on the bike would be stopped and put on the floor, it's just pure bad riding skills
some great riding....can't pull this off where i live...i just got a 4point ticket...on my license and a 100$ fine for riding between cars....asshole cops...IM TAKING THEM TO COURT
I will be riding a bike around Manhattan for my birthday Next month...
How do you keep from getting a ticket for running red lights? Can you get away from police on a bike in NYC, or is running red lights only tolerated because you bike messengers are so awesome?
Its very rare to get a ticket for running a red light on your bike. I bike in the city everyday for half a year and run reds all the time, never got stopped. If a cop does try to stop you, there's no way he'll be able to catch up.
I've only heard of a few people ever getting tickets for riding on the sidewalk. I've never seen a messenger get stopped. Messengers just do whatever the fuck they want.
Cops won't bother you unless you ride in Critical Mass. Then they follow you on mopeds and try to cut you off constantly and will ticket you for anything, even made up offenses (as happened to me). They're super militant about disrupting Critical Mass and they have whole squads of cops dedicated to tracking and following you.
haven't watch the other videos but what i am thinking is the guy is a really good rider regardless of whether we like what he does in traffic. AND the other thing is. whoever is shooting the video is equally awesome.taping the rider and watching for traffic too.
dude seriously u think u r smart or good, just cos u are either very fucking stupid or hav over sized balls. man i cant wait till u get fucked up by a car man.u r the reason people hate cyclists.
i dont care how much u bag me out, whoever replies. ps the music isnt that bad, mayb just a bit old.
Word up, No dis to the messenger community cause to do this requires x-tra large balls for sure, but everyone goes down bro. It's just like that, it's a givin. Especially if you ride like homeboy in the vid. Just talking from experience cause I've rode Monstertrack and worked the streets for years. A car door, a wandering pedestrian, or too much fun last night will bring you to the pavement bro, Mad respect to the brothers in the street doing it everyday!
I was referring to the way he rides when he's not even dodging cars, but I can see that he's also avoiding manhole covers and potholes as well. My mistake.
Not all drivers disrespect cyclists - and the ones that do don't give us an excuse to ride like this. I know we don't need an excuse to ride like this, but I stopped doing it when I was 16 because I realized it doesn't help promote cycling.
i go agree thats a very mature way to look at things, but u have to admit, when u were 16 it was the shit right, kinda like the kids and that brakeless bmx madness,
Could'nt read some of the red text while homeboy was still riding, but that was an excellent video no doubt. I wonder who was the rider, and who was the cameraman

Cops won't bother you unless you ride in Critical Mass. Then they follow you on mopeds and try to cut you off constantly and will ticket you for anything, even made up offenses (as happened to me). They're super militant about disrupting Critical Mass and they have whole squads of cops dedicated to tracking and following you.
