      What’s that good? Anyone can disobey the rules, it is just that drivers get fined while douchebags on bikes get a pass, feel like they own the road and when they eventually find someone as crazy as them, they always play the victim.

I used to work at the base of the bridge on the NYC side at City Hall when I was part of the team that restored it.

    Thank you so much for this video! I am fascinated for what I've seen, as it fulfills my need for exploring!
    Especially for people who will miss the opportunity to travel, this is perfect!
    i like bright landscapes, bright colored buildings, bridges and old rounded buildings, especially those at the beginning. Trees were terrific - I see more of them and more bushes along the road in the next future. The road were neat enough and clean. Filming with panoramic view provided us with many peripheral details, but also scared me, wondering if you were safe enough; hope you were. You know that Latin saying: "Festina lente" (hurry slowly), so I promise from now on to leave home early enough to get on time and enjoy the time spent in traffic, as it is a part of my life. I saw a lot of places that are alike and I didn't get the purpose of your travel, but I want to see the video again, more carefully to get it. I would add to my bike a funny and low-level-sound klaxon for pedestrians walking on bike side. Also, I prefer only necessary information, so I will end here, thank you!
