Lane Control in Dallas: Crossing the Houston St Viaduct

These cyclists are crossing the Houston Street Viaduct from downtown Dallas to north Oak Cliff during the early rush hours of a Friday afternoon. The cyclists are traveling about 15 mph (not fast). Notice how the overtaking vehicles pull out to pass well in advance of overtaking them. For more bicycling video in Dallas, go to this YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/pmichaelsummer

Wish drivers here in Omaha would be that nice. Here they pull behind you and honk. Demanding you 'know your place' and get on the sidewalk. I simply just wave but otherwise ignore them. Now I don't truly get scared, but rather concerned that one of these morons will decide to clip me.

Experienced cyclists dont get scared..they are always on their guard. Inexperienced cyclists get intimidated and scared.

I would be verrrrrrrrrrrrrry scared to do that. Helps that that bridge doesn't have an insane speed limit. Added plus of a nice view!

Nice control, still look frightening with those cars flying by. Another nice video :)

I've done that bridge solo- works the same as it did for you while I tracked the left tire track.

Thanks for doing these films.
