    Love the video. I grew up in the city and this makes me really nostalgic. When I visited not too long ago my friend and I crossed the Brooklyn, Manhattan, Williamsburg, and queensboro bridges in one go, amazing day. I actually found the Williamsburg bridge the most fun because there was so much life on it. People using niche modes of transit, it almost felt like a fashion show. Commuter-wise I agree Manhattan is the best and what I actually used on a day to day basis. The Brooklyn bridge was absolute hell and made me want to throw every tourist off of it, the new path is a huge improvement event if it’s shit.

    Riding on the Manhattan bridge feels like riding on the sidewalk because of the bumps. It's paved like a sidewalk and not asphalt. Also, the exit into Manhattan has some sharp corners on a steep decent, could be fun or risky

    appreciate u for making this video, i dont live nowhere near the US. this feels a little bit of a tour guide for cyclists around the world
    we're basically explorers as bicyclists, and seeing new places that arent familiar to us with context gives us context on how other cities should improve their bike laws or bike lanes or anything bike related within the city.
    i live in poverty, so we're not fortunate enough to have certain bike lane barriers like yours and other fortunate cities. basically risking our lives commuting.

    i commuted BK bridge for years. I loved riding across the top. The mornings were never crowded. I will always treasure those early commutes into Manhattan. Coming home was another story, usually I was on east side by end of the day so would take Wburg back. Incredible what they've done to the landing in Manhattan. Nice vid, love to see the updates. - former Brooklyner

    Amazing footage! thank you for uploading. As a person who commuted bicycle 26 miles RT 3x a week for about 30 years (SOCAL), I would merely add for collective benefit-
    Ears are a very complex system, lots of small parts, hard to access! Damage done today often does not show itself until 30 years later! Due to riding right shoulder with cagers whooshing past me for 30 years. I have tinnitus in the left ear. I find when I put a ear plug in on that side, it helps reduce further impacts and does not excessively hamper ability to sense left side threats.
    Your ride is big time urban combat stuff! Makes me want to visit NYC to go riding! Extra tubes and hard case tires , and max head on swivel time.

    Manhattan was my favorite for a while too until a moped crashed into me as I was descending into Chinatown. The bend to the exit is so blind, and the delivery mopeds are always riding the line rather than staying firmly in their lane. So I ended up in the ER and had to miss a week of work because the concussion was so bad. I miss that ride, but until NYC addresses motorized vehicles in bike lanes (and I’m sure Uber and GrubHub are lobbying for otherwise…) I’m avoiding all the super narrow bridges. Such a bummer, the infrastructure is actually pretty good as cyclist-only.

    I have gripes with mopeds and ebikes using all of the East River bridges, they are extremely dangerous and they put every pedestrian at risk. Until the city can figure out how to prevent them from using the pedestrian paths on all 5 bridges, crossing the bridges by bike or foot every day will still continue to be dangerous at best.

      @@TerryB I highly recommend it, big biking culture here, lots of iconic routes along the water and up the "mountain"

    It seems like these three bike paths, but particularly the one on the Williamsburg bridge, would benefit from some plexiglass on either side of it to prevent smog, wind, and noise from affecting the journey.
