Re: Bike Messengers Are on Crack

[kennyg101]

I have a couple of conclusions from the comments to this video:- 1. Many cycle couriers are bores- the kind of people you find pinning you to the corner of a room as they tell you about the last near miss.

2. Too many Americans are arrogant wankers.

Nothing new then.

[mobablah]

your on crack man go out and live, why not die on a bike ur gunna die somehow were you not fucking breastfed? nigga why you got 3 teefs?

[mobablah]

your on crack man go out and live, why not die on a bike ur gunna die somehow

[onestu3]

Did you find a correlation coefficient for this problem? Would love to see your data on the subject.

[fodera6]

I certainly haven't logged the miles those guys have in the city but I can see both sides. Proponents of "effective cycling" argue that obeying traffic laws and having to use bike lanes negates the fundamental effectiveness of cycling while others that actually obey the laws argue that reckless behavior and flagrant disregard for the laws only serves to further the ignorant and unsavory opinions non-cyclists have towards us. I don't ride for status. I ride so I may live to ride another day.

[IsaacBickerstaffEsq]

@fodera6 ". . ."effective cycling" argue that obeying traffic laws . . ."

. . .is a cyclist's right, duty and the way to stay safe on the road. I think you need to read it again.

[jajajah86]

Of course messengers get hit. But compared to the time they spend riding their job is safe...

[tomhalsey]

Dude ur right, these guys can do whatever they want!!! As far as you posting this video, no body cares what you think. If ur not into it or dont have the skill, then don't do it! SIMPLE! If you want to make money as a messenger you have to hit gaps to make your delivery time! Its a super rewarding job as there is so much variety in scenery and experiences! Stop talking about statistics and shit like that, just live for yourself and what you enjoy!

[falkenbbq13]

dude uh grow a pair every day is facing death. i jump outta an airplane once a week. and you my friend are on crack

[guitarristarob154]

omg...who do you think you are? i hope you get hit by a cyclist who happens to have bullhorn bars on and the bars go so far up your ass that they will push your messed up teeth back into place

[austinh899]

sounds to me llke your just trying to degrade their kick ass abilities bc you know you could never gain half the skill required nor the balls to do what they do on a daily basis

[FullTiltAdvisor]

what is wrong with your teeths?

[Gargantu4]

he try to be a Bike Messengers :)

[swiftay18]

bikes have brakes fool.,

[mrdeath321]

Bro shut the fuck up!

[shinichi1975]

shut the fuck up

[AlbertoCorrecto]

Well, you will never be a good bike messenger. You are just the scared old man, who never will rich his higest potencial. Your reflexes seem to be pretty bad, mr. kennyg101. Can you ride bike at list!?

[IndianaJones2009]

another reason to live in america... this guy

[drewchopper]

fuck up you crack head!!!!

[stopandy]

I work as a bicycle courier in Seattle. And let me tell you that what they do is more a matter of skill and less a matter chance than I think you give them credit for. What you say is true about blind corners, however, what is blind to the camera on Lucas Brunelles helmet is not necessarily blind to the riders.

[bunbunr]

YOur teeth suck

[Nomadbushman]

alright one your gay

two, who the fuck says tickle my fancy

[DoctorLush]

alright one YOUR gay

two, your obviously not british

[eclipsebooking]

when i started as a bike messenger there where alot of mistakes i made. but you learn to read the traffic.

[dawsonanywhere]

if ur gonna talk about statistics and probabilities, at least try and understand the concept! stop video taping yourself and go ride a bike

[idealmanifesto]

We're not cyclists we're messenger's

different breed

[wellmanored]

I agree, if you want to commit suicide, at least don't involve some driver who's just trying to get his kids to school or something.

[MrPignati]

funny face @ the end :-)

[tomcatfranks]

Bicycle messengers are trained professionals, do not attemped this at home.

[FleeTskies]

*read self-trained

[strubelstern]

what most people don't understand is that when you're a messenger you start to understand traffic and you can calculate the risks when hustling over crossroads and stuff like that of course there's a marginal risk but you get that as well when you're trying to cross a street, no? and finally, messengers are way out there on the streets, loving their jobs, feeling alive and noone who works in an office and is really out of shape knows THAT kinda feeling. WORD!

[dnm25]

i ride a fix gear (not a messenger though) and I agree with this guy. Do you really need to put yourself in danger like this to deliver a packet in time? You might get very good at it but why do the unnecessary?

[lewisevans69]

For fuck sake stop being so old and let them do wht they fucking want.

[ThreeCrowns]

you guys are being assholes to this guy, he just wants people to not get hurt :) he is acting kinda of like a soccer mom but still calm the fuck down

[sonic540]

Hey, it's a race, thats what they do. It's not suicide, it's fun, and you have to have skills and know what you are doing. It may look like crazyness to you but the Messengers are behind the handle bar and know what move is good or not. You are wasting your breath. Just enjoy the damn video and be careful crossing the street... it's dangerous out there.

[mercer2789]

Some people seem to think that cars have more rights on the streets than bikes. Its bullshit. Bikes were here first and there is more to life than your car and convenience. Fuck unnecessary driving its what kills people. These guys were in a race and I'm sure none of them consider this their everyday riding style.

[nanaluke]

Oh and don't do crack :S

[nanaluke]

Okay, why would anyone care if what they were doing in their video doesn't tickle your 'fancy'?

They don't.

But hey, props to your video anyhow. It wasn't one of those ones saying "argh you guys are fucking idiots and should be banned from the road and have your bikes shoved up you're asses blah blah blah"

So yeah, props for you mate.

[tunanaentanga]

your gay, and you KNOW that... keep up your stupidness

[pschmidt88]

You retard do you actually think these guys are willingly risking their lives everyday for their job!? PEOPLE GET GOOD AT IT! You gotta be kiding me - why did you put this fuckin shit on here shut the fuck up

[ThreeCrowns]

people get good at parachuting and fuckin snake charming too. that dont mean your fuckin invincible

[XChaoticXKittenX]

WHOA, YOU ARE DEFINATLY STONEd! ew ew ew you can tell in your eyes, your smoking something, or over medicated.

[gsxrkidd]

its crystal meth my riend

[XChaoticXKittenX]

Tsk Tsk Tsk, You shouldnt be making vids on cystal meth Mr. Kenny! >.<

[tilting40s]

dude that shit was phat props.

[promitheas32]

OK you are right but if you see at the biginig they say...how TO NOT ride your bike...

[gsxrkidd]

THE TEETH ARE FAKE!!!

[gsxrkidd]

jeez this guy is a fawkin pitbull look atthose jaw muscles!!!!!!!

[BronxRevenant]

Is that Lex Luthor?

[zer0ne83]

Good call mate. Awesome video but please don't do it everyday bro; want more videos and less funerals.

[WEATHEAD]

I've been road riding for 40 years, so I know well that the "rules of the road" don't always make sense for cyclists. BUT, these gray hairs on my head mean I've learned a few things about how to survive road riding, LONG-TERM. Some of these guys aren't going to live to see gray hair if they continue riding like this. Hey, I agree with this dude. And I have PERFECT teeth!! Lol

[youlemur]

bullshit

[Axl18289]

just thanks

[1Hutchinson1]

nice vid, polite and gets the message through

[starbucks3954]

I had sex with your mom.

[EcKoWR]

I respect your opinions, it can and does get extremely risky and dangerous but these individuals who do this stuff daily are up to the challenges that they face. they have developed a second nature if you will. they can ride through traffic swerve pass taxis, and think nothing of it because they have their brains fixed on accomplishing their goals!

Its not being super human its fully capable within our human abilites.

[benadlin]

And bikers knowing what they're doing? Sure, for the most part bikers know what they're doing and have surprisingly good control over themselves and their bikes. This guy acknowledges that and recognizes that it's a hugely efficient mode of transport in the city. But let's not forget that even experienced messengers fuck up (Bronx Jon, bless him), and the results are disastrous.

[Lindholmer5k]

Nice comment, totaly agree with you.

[benadlin]

Everybody chill the fuck out, please. This guy's politely responding to a video and you're blasting him for things that are completely irrelevant. If you don't agree with him, say so (and say why), but there's no need to call him a cunt or insult his appearance. What the shit is that accomplishing?

[cmacblue42]

Dude, they r one way streets, you dont need to know whats around the blind corner because you have already seen it pass you by. I woudl onyl do this in downtown streets that have predictable traffic, low car speeds, one way streets, etc. I would never do this on normal roads because it is the exact opposite: high speed traffic, not as predictable (lights, lane changes, etc.), 2 way roads.

[BillCrow20067]

One way street or not traffic travels on the right.

Taking a left would be the problem - unless you're in europe

[starbucks3954]

This guy is right, as a cyclist I don't care if others kill themselves, I do care though that a driver will hate me as I ride on the road because some douche on a bike ran a red and made him slam on the brakes. It's dangerous for me, someone who obeys the laws, to suffer hate from motorists because of a few cyclist who are too retarded to realize they are not cool or crafty by running red lights.

[Russ4108083528]

you are sooooo GAY !!! hahaha

[FallingDownMountains]

Yeah... this guy is right about us Americans (I'm not being sarcastic.) Seriously, next time you burn your oil/gas heater, just think how you could be wearing a friggin coat instead. Also, who gives a fuck about somebody's teeth.

[ihatethisvideo3]

hey mutha fucka you look like your on crack you fucking retard how bout you just go smoke your crack and get off the librays computers faggot! p.s. nice teeth bitch! quit spending your money on crack and go to the dentist rofl!

[llamingo]

arreglate la betamax

[DacianKonig]

I still can't get over the fact that you posted this. You're an idiot.

[DacianKonig]

Fuck you cunt. You had nothing interesting to do with your life, so you blast on us bikers. We bikers know what we're doing, we're not dumb shits! Asshole prick mother-fucker.

[MollyZoli]

ASSSSHOLE!

[petakillsanimals]

i think your on crack.

[steveparkes]

"you are" or "you're". English motherf**ker do you speak it ;) The person in this video certainly does well enough.

[mitchzzr]

Save yourself 2 and a half mins. This guy just wants you to sit at home wrapped in cotton wool.

[nicktamaman]

shut the f**k up, you don't know shit...get off your tricycle...

[sakai17]

Fix your fucking gap!

[007nickynick]

What the Hell happened to this Limey prick? lookes like he gott "Dorred" by the ugly bus. Ha Ha Cherio you f-ing MOOK

[StevenP9891]

So basically what he's saying is Illegal racing-GOOD legal cycling-BAD. And he looks like he got punched in the mouth with a fist full of ugly.

[swigt010]

Can this guy be serious? I can't take him seriously with that mug. Could he be anymore stereo typical English guy-who says "juncture"?

[KMagamoll]

yeah this guy is a puss

[joshualaws]

well it is called "how not to ride your bike" you fucking dork

[jonnymacdaddy]

nice teeth buddy.. they go PERFECTLY with your english accent lol

[BEATNIKCASS]

don't be hittin old dudes when you ride. one of 'em could be ME. old dudes break easy. then they get a wheelchair and come gunnin' for you and yo' loved one

[opaqqi]

obvious message is at the begining of film, and it is how to not ride a bike...

[wynderful]

You guys are harsh. Stop talking crap about this guy's teeth. What's wrong with imperfect teeth?

Anyway, yes, he's right, it's dangerous. But it's a lot of fun! Yay for bike riding!

[anaphrodisiacxyu]

Christ, those phonetics blew.

[anaphrodisiacxyu]

Tilt head down, onegaishimasu.

[starvinnmarvinn]

hes a brit hes supposed to have bad teeth ;p

[GSRxCONVICT]

hey buddy why dont you go to NYC this happens every day its nothing special?

[mihaispinoche]

what bike?!?! a 747 would be nice!

[chuckfpham]

I could "dangerously swerve" my bike between his two front teeth

[lurchzx7r]

Too much crack and not enough dental work I think...

[gemineye88]

dude you could have summed all that up in half the time. too bad mommy didn't call you back to dinner sooner so that i didn't have to waste 30 seconds typing this.

[ann03071874]

Sorry mommy...I won't do it again.

[elmo575]

FIX UR FUCKING TEETH!!!!!!

[trav1sbickle]

haha i think this guy's on crack

[Production904]

Arent we all?

[Todenh31m]

1)duh... dude why on earth are you wearing a polar bear inside a room?

2) if you're trying to look like a comedian, you've failed

3) you truly DON'T want to see me cycling somewhere around you, cuz maybe you'll get a heart attack or something

Relax, we're born to die you know..

[26stas]

it's all true, but if you wanna do a perfect things u do mistakes, try hard, but u don't talk much. And this just look like a danger on the camera, But feels like an air on the road. Air doesn't kill.

[bluenoseno1]

u got weird teeth

[drewlfc27]

we know all that already

[woodinphlegm]

HOLY SHIT Thank you for your input. Very enlightening but thats not any way to live. You seem afraid of...swallowing razor blades?

[ADRIENMOREAU]

you guys don't get it. New York is a jungle. that's it.

[zahnzieher]

I agree with you. The sexy thing is to be master of a situation not the idiot...

[MichaelChamploo]

RIDE tELL U DIE

[Jakrahal]

LOL spaceball. HAHAHAHA

[Vectazine]

Cool reply.. some good points to

[sneakyflutes]

you're not entirely wrong. this sort of cycling is pretty much frowned upon and is obviously irresponsible and dangerous. when cyclists obey the traffic laws as cars do, it's safer and still as quick and convenient. i can't count how many times i've nearly been creamed by these guys while crossing the street (note: i live in NYC as well)

that being said, it's still a thrilling video and i can't wait for the weather to warm up so i can ride my bike around town again.

[C3RJORD1990]

ridein a bike like that just shows that u are not a lazy fucker an a u can do cool stuff an if people didnt die the world would be over full with ppl

[deathmetalhell]

lol

...pussy

[ianucci]

The cycling in that video was completely irresponsible. Just because you are on a bike doesn't mean you can ignore the rules of the road.

[anaphrodisiacxyu]

It was an Alley Cat Race.

[stalingrad66]

hey man, you got the perfect space to hold a clit between your teeth ! girls must like you !

other than that, thanks for the unsollicited advice !

[brianpfeifer]

what the fuck was that. can i fuck the space between your front teeth?

[nemesis001]

hahahaahahahhaha

[kennyg101]

see stalingrad66's comment for the answer to that.

[stefanieashlee]

LMFAO!!! HAHAHA
