*Looked at a lot of options for getting my **Latest.Bike** . Great find in SAVA. Super light, nice components, really good value as it comes with many options only found in much higher priced bikes.*
"It makes things better for all of us.". Now those are words to live by.
Loved the reflection of the cameraman riding no hands keeping the shot perfectly stable and centered; great skills.
This rules. More "Riding a bike in " please!
Agreed! And more of Terry and Eben too.
finally no script just content sooooo much better
This is glorious and oddly calming
It's his calmness amongst the city chaos
TerryB for president!
I love the Bike Snob. Ultimate snobbery!!
Here for all the Bike Snob content you can bring. Also best production values to date.
cool guy, love the part about good attitude!
A lotta cool chill vibes here; love the sentiment and video! I really enjoy my fixed gear, politely.
Positive, light-hearted, not taking it too seriously - great vid!
Basically, permission to enjoy your ride and your day. Thanks!
Wow, this was the most polite video of NYC in general, let alone bicycles lol. Loved it.
Right, Jeeze everyone chill out, we’ll all get there man….
Buddha on a bike - Magnificence! More please.....
Genius. Love it (politely). More please! (Greetings from UK)
As a recovering early 2000s NYC fixed gear psychopath, I needed to hear this.
The bells part is hilarious hahahaha
That chain slack though?
Another thing I see a lot of bike riders do (especially here in Montreal) is taking things too seriously. In big cities, you should be expecting people to make mistakes, just like we do on our bikes. If someone cuts you off or steps into your lane just weave around them instead of stopping and yelling at them. Riding a bike should bring you happiness and peace and not anger. Great video!
Top notch cinematography.
This is true fixed gear zen.
Old Crap Test Pilot! (this was wonderful. The video I've been eagerly waiting for :-)
Freaken love 'shredding' through NYC street, politely. Also bonus points for the Cafe Gitane stop! Best couscous (the food so nice, they named it twice)
Love it!!!
This may seem obvious but try riding between red lights. When rushing to get to the next red light, you waste energy and get frustrated having to wait. If light will be red or not yet green, try "coasting" and arrive as the traffic is starting to move again. While this may not work so well in a dense place like NYC in smaller places it should. Lane splitting is not allowed here so when approaching a light I will take space in the lane as if I was in a car. My observation is that it is not much slower and I often catch up again to the rabbits before the next red light. One more thing, nothing annoys the guy yelling at you from a passing car than waving and being polite.
Wicked! This is very good messaging!
Great video!
Nice to put a face to the author of Bike Snob! Thanks!
Bike Snob NYC is my mentor.
Came here cus of terry 🔥
Great Lob smothered in butter A Snob sighting in his natural habitat rocking the schmatta sans foam hat!I hope there is room in the budget for Eben joining a reunion of Rock Racings greats Hamilton,Cippo,Landis,Botero and Sevilla followed by Mikey Ball in a Rock Racing Douchecalade !
This is the best
This guy making me ride a bicycle with much pleasure!
gnarly edit dude
This was a fun video. There was snark, but it was useful, fun snark.
I want a fixie now.
Where is Eben's microphone for all of this?? I am dumbfounded. Impressive
great vid, thats why i prefer single speed bicycles for commuting
Top tube sit! 😀
This guy could be in a movie!
It was confusing. Was Terry behind the camera?
Love the crossing sprint analogy
Dude in the background watching him sprint with a bemused look is pretty good.
Clicked on a truncated title to say you didn't shred NYC if Terry Barentsen wasn't on the camera. Looks like you got the memo.
Like the Fred Rogers of fixed gear. But the marine sniper urban legend version.
i guess i can use these tips in White Plains and Scarsdale too lol
i'm happy to say i cycle like a monk
Wow, there's still a K Mart in NYC!
“Free lunch!”
ON YOUR LEFT!
More BSNYC!
What brand and model of bell?
What camera was used for these shots?
What bike is he riding? Like his style
The only reason to stop at stop lights in NYC is because if a cop catches you running it you'll get a $200 ticket. Yes bicycles in NYC get $200 tickets, and they are ticketed for red light infractions at 1/3rd the rate of cars.
Weird, in Chicago I don't see a brake on these as much. Mine doesn't for sure
Same but I'm in NYC😂
HOTLINE
💯🔥
I nearly clotheslined a guy on a fixed gear in NYC as he blew through a red and proceeded to nearly mow down pedestrians in the crosswalk crossing on green. I don't care if you blow reds, but please yield to pedestrians.
He gives cyclist a good name :p
My guy
I watch this guy instead of meditating.
the monk comment tho...
Lol word
Slow life is the good life.
U guys told Terry this was a April Fools vid, didn't U?
😂
so basically do the exact opposites of what the riders in terry's videos do? got it
So the way Terry does it for you is wrong and unpolite?
Is that a real K-mart? I thought they were extinct.
Agree 110% with BS, brakeless is selfish and dumb
brakes. lol. these are like a turn signals on a bmw
Accommodate pedestrians? So they can breed and create more pedestrians? Its like feeding stray animals, you'll just attract more! Much rather barely miss them and teach them road safety through fear.
2:26 do New Yorkers really? That's a nasty glass
Great video. But uhhhhhhh..... helmet please? =D
“The most important thing, more than perhaps anything”.... to wear a helmet. Take your hat off.
Fixies by definition don’t have brakes
Which definition are you using?
The definition of fixie only pertains to the presence of a fixed gear.
@@ShredST Exactly. Nothing to do with brakes.
You mean track bikes
Kind of a cool and pointless video... better brakeless (in Costa RIca)
