For cyclists and PEV (personal electric vehicle) one of the biggest burdens is being obstructed on the bike lane by a J-walking pedestrian who's on his phone in a busy urban city.
I've managed to clear a busy Brooklyn Bridge in 4 and a half minutes.

BIKE LANEEEEEE, YOU’RE IN THE BIKE LANEEEEE, WILL YOU PLEASE MOVEEEEEE
lmaoo
It took me a bit to realize he was singing it to the tune of the Star Wars theme 🤣🙌🏻
I JUST SAW THAT HAHA
Yes I just watched that, a true HERO! 🤣🤣
Someone should make a horn with that sound. lol
The bike lanes should say BIKES ONLY BIKES ONLY BIKES ONLY” down the entire bike lane instead of one small bike image with arrows every 100 feet or so.
Why would a pedestrian only path have an obvious white line painted it's entire length.. That was a very clear marked lane.
Iconography is better than words, especially in a city that is an international tourist destination.
@@jd-ll3mo yes. You're clever
yes agreed pedal bikes only!
In our country bike lanes are painted with bright yellow and their surface is red in the most crowded areas. That's somehow attracts pedestrians even more so all of them are walking on the bike lanes while sidewalks next to them are empty. :D
This path is just entirely too narrow from a standpoint of purely engineering the volume of that much flow. 2 Separate decks for walking and cycling would have been the only solution I think
There's a plan to put an actual bike lane on the road level which should be interesting.
It is very narrow indeed. Even though I tried to respect the bike lane as much as I could when I was there, sometimes it was just impossible to not walk on it, especially in days where there's a huge amount of tourists there.
M U N N Y
You do realize that GoPro videos like this all distort the image, right? This path has far more room than you assume. Plus, do you really think a transportation planner would put bicycles on a 1-foot wide narrow strip? How arrogant. Please, maybe get your facts straight before making assumptions and drawing false conclusions.
The problem here is simply people too stupid to simply follow the rules. Don't blame the path designers when people are clearly unable to follow pretty simple requirements.
And as a cyclist who has ridden innumerable times with pedestrians on a bike path, only 20 feet away from an EMPTY pedestrian path, it doesn't matter how wide you make it if people can't understand the most basic of guidelines.
@@dudeonbike800 You must be one of those midlife crisis spandex wearing cyclists who yells at everyone they pass
Legend has it that he is still honking the horn on that bridge.
legend has it you just copy in paste this shit with a slight change of words every time you watch a video that shits stupid come up with better and original shit to say
@@yootoob8438 Can you stop getting mad
@@yootoob8438 who ask ?
0:34 how he gone honk off the other bikers in the lane lmao😂😂
@@lousiano8813 they were gonna crash
I was on that bridge once and a guy just yelled into a crowd adjacent to me and blocking the way that if they don't move, he'll ride right through and he did exactly that. I took tons of pics and of the awkward faces the tourists made.
lol bruh i wanna see
Me too lmao
Post a collage of it
can you post the Google Photos link
Link?
If you don’t move from the sound of the air horn, I’m crashing right into you - a native New Yorker
its pretty satisfying to watch both the speed and getting people off the lane ngl
What happened to that one guy I use to watch horn this bridge. Jav or something like that his name was.
Damn that looks stressful
VERY stressfull a crash can happen any second Everytime i ride my bike in a place like that i atleast crash onto someone once
It is. I was a bike commuter using that bridge and you have to constantly stop and use the horn all the time, I lose control of my bike several times trying to avoid crashes.
i think they actually enjoy this because they are 'right' and others have to move when they honk...
Real stressful when you smoke a child at 25 mph
@@alfonsobossi1402 No we don't. It just add frustration to frustration. I live in Rome, a lot of up and down, bike are supposed to respect the one way no matter how high is the up. Very few bike lane. Almost all the car consider me a scooter, I can cross a street only on foot, if I try riding they honk and try everything they can to pass me: it's very dangerous. The only place when I feel safer is in the bike lane, and stupid pedestrian act always surprised when I'm on the bike lane. Worst are dog owner blocking all the lane with the leash. You want to keep particular care to a leash in certain light they are almost invisible. if I get caught in that I fear I woul really hurt myself and probably kill the dog.
A shared path like this is always bad. Its biggest fault is that it is too narrow. The paint showing you where to be, would be useful if people only respected it, but alas.
If anything it should be one way only on each side of the bridge.
The fault is actually too much useless traffic. Ban all foot traffic and ticket anyone not on a bike. It's mostly all useless tourists and selfie braindeads not actually going anywhere. They don't need to be there.
Your horn is annoying af. Where can I buy one for my bike? 🤣
Insane Speedrun, lucky at 3:43 this random npc almost cost u wr
WOOOO DUDE nice idea, speedrun this bridge any% with Full NPC enabled haha
gotta get some good RNG on the npc spawns
at least the npc at 1:29 moved quickly, could've costed wr as well
Never have I loved the sound of a horn more!
I see your point and can feel your frustration from similar daily experiences. But you too are traveling way too fast for this situation. Too narrow, too many people doing unforseeable things. With this speed there is no margin for error or random events. It exposes you to the suspicion, that the wellbeing of of other people is lower on your priority list than the pursuit of your rights as a motorized cyclist. And sooner or later will get someone hurt.
Absolutely. Except for disregarding people's lives he is also giving cyclists a bad name by pretending to cycle on an electric motorcycle. Uncool.
@@ImreVogelezang
True! Slow down!
Good way to get our wheels banned nationwide.
They are now building a proper bike line on the car lane
they should just make the bike lane and the pedestrian lane completely separate on bridges
The Sydney Harbour Bridge has that system: West side for bikes and the east side for pedestrians only.
Put the bike lane on the side of the bridge, but without a handrail.
From my experience the result is instead of 50% pedestrians on the bike lane there are 95% pedestrians on bike lane. Due to the bike lane being "nicer"
@@MervynPartin why
@@abatall Because it would encourage the cyclists to ride carefully for a change.
The main obstacle to overcome in life is the incompetence of others.
Boy did you say a mouthful.
That route is too narrow for a bike and pedestrian lane too.
Really shows how little space pedestrians and cyclists get :(
Are you on an ebike? You are going tooooo fast!
Why did I love this!
I want to honk at unsuspecting people and startle them. Fun!!
They should not be unsuspecting. They are expected to be aware of their environment and what's happening around. Watching out and listening are quite usable for that.
You call them "unsuspecting people [who get] startle[d]." I call them, "inconsiderate, entitled a-holes who get what's coming to them." Potato potato.
There's no room for anyone. As frustrating as it is, it doesn't excuse riding too fast. Accident waiting to happen.
Visit the netherlands or Belgium and you will see why people need to stay out of the bike lane, people will come with speeds like 30km/h if not faster.
If you don't cycle with some amount of speed pedestrians will never take flight. If you constantly allow yourself to be slowed, it instantly becomes pedestrianised, forcing you onto the pedestrian side to go round them.
The royal Jordanian London biker knows how to wake up sleep walkers.
@@badware2266 Speed limit for bikes is 25/30 not 50
@@badware2266 actually - these kind of high speed electric bikes are not allowed on bicycle paths in the Netherlands..
@@Lauwergames thats for electric bikes
This guy's riding like He's got the star in Mario Brothers lol
That area looks awesome
Cool now pedestrians hate us too, good job....
LOLL This is too funny, Love it! Nice upload bruh!
That is a nice horn by the way. I think I’ll search for that one in the future along with a Airzound. I just purchased a traditional bell a couple weeks ago, and have not used it since, but know that will change Not that I didn’t have ample moments to use it, but I’ve never really had a bell or horn, and was not too frustrated with the few times I could’ve used it. Ironically it is on the bike lanes where the majority of the usage you will get the opportunity to utilize some form of notice to others blockage of where they ought not to be when it is unnecessary of course.
Hah! I just seen I commented on this 7+ months ago. I forgot I had seen this vid.
I like the motorcycle horn concept. Seems like it would be worth adding one with a button to the seats on my EUCs.
Such a popular place to visit and the lanes are not wide enough...but hell that was satisfying to watch.
Don't complain about the pedestrians standing on the "bike lane". Complain about the terrible infrastructure. Good infrastructure will force good behaviour.
Well yes I partially agree, but it's still a fucking bike lane and you don't have to stand in the middle of it if you're not on a fucking bike.
@@TheDr1Acula well what if I'm a fucking bike
@@mangopie7602 that’s allowed
Exactly
NYPD standing thier absolutely doing nothing is also a problem
There's not a heap of room there thats for sure. Some spots are pretty dangerous to have bikes going both ways and fit pedestrians as well. Particularly dangerous when this dude is going almost as fast as a damn car.
speed limit 10mph
Exactly , this guy is flying and is being an ass. No one should be blocking the bike lane but you do not get to go as fast as you want.
Look at the people he comes across in the first 30 seconds. They are on bikes, using the path correctly and on the correct side of the bike path, yet this guy comes flying up.
You had be at the horn, you lost me at trying to turn a shared bike path into a one way race course.
I could not find anything on speed limits with the bridge. He was going pretty fast downhill though.
@@antoniojmonetti I have to check as well to be sure, but that particular rider was on an E - bike. Those things can get up and go . 35+ mph. im surprised they do not have a low speed mode for situations like that .
I still think he was a bit over the top.
UA-cam the guy that did a wheelie all the way across the bridge to clear the bike lane. Its epic. hes respectful, shares the lane with respectful runners, and was in much more control.
@@OneMouseGaming
Yeah that thing looked like it was going just 5mph slower than traffic below! I remember checking though for a speed limit, just could not find it. But they should be careful since people can stray into the lane distracted and then get hit.
Even 10mph is too fast for these conditions.
I love it because people hate it. Then again, people in NYC just don't seem to really care all that much lol
that looks so damn fun
Love the horn!!!! Holly shit!! I use to go as fast 35mph. SOOOO crOWded!!!! 😱😱😱
😂😂😂 I would love to ride there with my 125dB horn )))))
I am especially sick and tored of bastards who walk sode by side wjen they are more than two people. I I don't mind a couple walking on left side, but those goddamn six people completely blocking both directions makes me nuts. One time, I aggressively rang bell and some slow peds were saying I am a menance. Then I started to slow down and silently pass, but even then another group refused to clear path. Fell over into the side of the path and they had guts to giggle. Wanted to swing my bike locks on them. But this video makes me feel satisfied. Maybe I should get a loud horn.
This seems pretty dicky to me. If pedestrians share that bridge they have just as much of a right away as you. They are slower, not to mention kids and old people. You should be the one slowing down. The horn is super necessary but you're using just to throw your weight around as if you getting where you want is more important.
_"You should be the one slowing down"_
If you actually worked for a living and relied on getting from A to B in time you would understand that you can't just slow down for everyone. The issue here is obviously the cars that take up all the space, remove them, making PEV's more attractive by deregulate them, and there will be plenty of space for everybody.
Lol I invested in an electric horn so I stop missing the Staten Island Ferry.
Pedestrians seem to get it with a loud horn.
Besides thier building a separate bike lane right now. Looking forward.
There should be speed limits posted for bikes on there. The guy obviously has an electric bike.
When it clearly has bike symbols on the lane and everyone gets mad at the guy riding in the bike line.
look at those huge lanes the cars get
Awesome bridge
That’s my song playing in the beginning! 🔥
these are my favorite videos ever
I'm surprised how many people didn't even react. He should have a horn that sounds like a gun hahaha.
Mans is using the horn like its sonar
Im so happy i live in the Netherlands were that does not happen but if i was you i would be soo pissed that i'd be throwing hands
iron lano Been to Amsterdam? It happens, Toeristen.
@@AmbachtAle 😂 yep that's Amsterdam
This electric bikes goes too fast to be allowed on a bicycle path in the Netherlands..
i really love the new idea of a bike lane for people, its so useful, i mean who uses bikes these days, no one right???
Never heard of the Netherlands? Or Denmark?
And it’s not a new idea, it’s very old. And this is a very bad one.
this is a sarcastic comment lol, dont take it to seriously
Amazing how oblivious they all are.
And not only in NYC on that bridge I gotta say.
you'd be the same, trust me.
As a New Yorker this is satisfying
Another pet peeve that I see all the time on my local trail is that invariably two fat women will walk across from each other, and one will walk on the right and the other on the left, while talking to each other, and bottleneck all other traffic to go between them. The path in this video is insane, it's actually 4 lanes of traffic per the ground marks!
Then add to that they're both wearing ear buds, so a bicycle bell or calling out that you're passing and need room and don't want to startle them goes completely unnoticed. "BUT LISTENING TO MUSIC IS MY RIGHT!!!"
For some reason they're always fat :(
Fat suburbanite women in workout clothes and 1 litre bottles hanging off their arm by strap just to walk half a mile 2 times a week.
Watch it he’s bikin’ here.
Sorry only just spotted this. Not a philistine :)
You can't stop me YOU CAN'T STOP ME!!
I cycle everyday...you're going way too fast to deal with the unexpected. Yes - these people shouldn't be standing in the bike lane but your speed leaves you with little opportunity to react to them if they do not jump to the left/right as you expect them to. The pedestrians are of course responsible for where they are standing/walking but you also have a responsibility to recognise how your actions may affect others.
the magic of a wide camera is that it makes you seem faster than you are, we'll disagree on this all day but i was prepared for an unexpected run out to stop almost instantly. regardless i did this one time for the purpose of the video, i never rode that bridge again.
And if they get hit standing or walking the the bike lane, it’s no different than a cyclist getting hit for cycling on the interstate. Neither has any business being there in the first place and assumes all risk of death or injury when choosing to blatantly disregard their own safely.
Agreed. Rider is going way too fast.
@@official.electricdreams you're not even on a bike. You're on an e-bike or something similar. You'll receive no respect from the cycling community. When I see someone on an e-bike riding in the way that you do, I assume they're just an ass. You're putting in no effort, don't ride like an ass.
Exactly, he recorded his run 4:30 between start and market, according to google maps that's 1.2 mile... that's 16 mph average speed. If you count how many times he had to brake or nearly stop, he had probably top speeds close to 20 mph, this is way too fast considering the proximity with tons of pedestrians and counter-trafic cyclists.
So, i do agree that there's a problem with the infrastructure and discipline of the pedestrians, but that's way too fast. When i learned to drive a car i was always taught two rules :
- Keep a margin to accomodate for other people's mistakes
- Even if you're legally right in a situation, speeding straight into danger won't save you from injuries
They need to widen the deck, put it right on top of the lanes dedicated to car traffic.
As angering as it may be to some who watched this, I'm glad to see such demand for walking and biking.
I live in Dallas and we can only dream of having biking and walking infrastructure that good.
Let's buy a bike , they said...it will be fun , they said..
The guy in the video: forced to make his own DJ Clue Mixtape listening to music on a bike
Haha yes love it
that's like every bridge ever
Wow so long that bridge
I think this wasn't so bad you can scare them just look at how they react hahaha so funny.
Pedestrians are our allies in the struggle with cars. I can understand your frustration, but the lanes for pedestrians and bikes are too narrow. Some sympathy and consideration for pedestrians is necessary here.
100% agree, this space is way too small for pedestrians and bicycles. 6 lanes for cars and 1 lane for everyone else is pretty absurd for a city like New York
The paths are wide enough for both pedestrians and bikes if you don’t allow standing, but it’s a tourist attraction and people are going to stop and take pictures. Glad to read they are building separate bike lanes.
Yeah, those bike lanes should be forbidden.
Leave the city to pedestrians!
Use public roads for riding.
The brooklyn bridge is the worst to ride bike on. Looking forward to the new bike lane!
are they building a new bike lane?
Is there a video of a bike with truck horn? I would love to see that
imma install atrain horn. ive sene people do that on bikes. they have the nypd mini vehicles there tho so i might get cited for public disturbance/nuisance or some bs lol
Lmao i used to have a car horn on my schwinn stingray.
... jeeze... that's one long bridge to cross... the annoying sound of your electric horn is a very useful tool to move the pedestrians out of your way!
👍👍👍👍👍
Gots to get me one!
Can I get a link to that horn tho
very cathartic
How you beeping?
He has a loud horn
Riding backwards
The problem isnt the size of the lane. Where I used to commute, there would be 20x less people, yet they always walk on the bike side, they either dont care or dont notice due to whatever reason.
There is no reason not to walk on bicycle lane... There is no law that forbidden such behavior.
@@familytvbox5218 Hi Family box.
Curious with your reply as it is inherently stupid.
Bike lanes divide pedestrians and bicycles, bicycles move fast and people and bikes don't go well when they collide.
If people just walk on footpath and cyclists cycle on cycle path, everyone gets to where they want to without getting hurt.
There are no laws, like you said, but no reason...
Are you just a sovereign citizen type, or just ignorant to life and like being an asshole and getting in people's way?
Have you ever been outside of the US where lots of people cycle and don't drive ?
You come across as very ignorant.
Bike lane honk ASMR
How about people suddenly walking into you? Just happened to me... adrenaline won't go away... it's only 8am... xD
Man thats a long bridge
some people got brains at smooth as that bike lane
i ride an electric wheel taht goes almost half the top speed of most cars and i could confidently carry a horn like this, as i ride with cars. so many idiots on foot and on rubber. begode master pro and monster pro. lookin at a used v13 rn too
they need to take out 2 of those car lanes and make dedicated bike lanes - those cars don't need to be on that bridge anyway, not at that population density
How long is that bridge ? Damn
1,833.68 meters. Yay Wikipedia.
If this was GTA4 I'd have 3 police stars by the end of that bridge..
Lmaooo me too 🤣🤣🤣
Looks like you are haunting those people
you woke some zombies up there
Jeez David Beckham is popular. Still I'm amazed they named a whole bridge after one of his children.
what horn is that ?
Your next mission, Chicago Lakefront bicycle path.
Noice car~ I mean bike
Ironically this is how it feels when bicycles are in the road blocking cars
They should have build the bike lane on the street an not on this tiny pedestrian way
I disagree, there’s already too much traffic as it is. If they really want to, above it something small would be good on the beams.
What's the speed limit?
What was he riding? Is quite fast to be a bike
Why has nobody in the comments yelled I’M WALKIN’ HERE!!! Philistines.
There isn’t enough room for pedestrians and bikes.
That solid white line in the middle should be turned into a fence.
Man look at all them COWS blocking the bike lane 💩🐄 🐄😂😂
What's the hurry?
Right Savage 🔥🔥🤙🏻
song name?
This is very narrow and scary! Look out people!
😂It is normal behaviour in Yorkshire towns for pedestrians to walk in cycle lanes and paths while leaving the pavements empty. That is how you know you're in Yorkshire.
