The overcrowding is getting worse every year. What's it going to take for NYC to bite the bullet and convert one of the lanes of car traffic on Brooklyn Bridge into a segregated bi-directional cycle lane? Someone getting seriously injured by a cyclist/pedestrian collision?
I especially enjoyed the ones who stared at you with impunity, expecting you to move over and the dude who was taking his picture no matter what. Just strap a javelin to your top tube, Mad Max style.
Back in the mid early 90s when I worked as a messenger I hated this bridge. My go too was the Williamsburg. I only took the Brooklyn Bridge late nights. I do not remember it being this busy though!!!
Interesting idea is too maybe buy a highpowered flashlights like 1000+ lumen that you can strap to ur handlebar. Ive got a fenix bc30 on my mountainbike for trails at night and it has a turbomode for 1800lumen. People always complain that they are blinded by those lights that should definitely make people walking towards you move away, or else they will get their retinas burned lol also will helpe people with their back turned away. They will definitely notice the light and mistake for a car.
It sounds like you have intent to Injure people with a high powered flashlight. Don't let the cops hear you telling people to blind other people!! You Twit!!
1:58 "Whoo, slow down!" -- How about this, maybe step out of the bike lane so you don't get hit?! I really don't think he was travelling faster than the advisory 15 mph speed. Though I think I would ride at 5 or 10mph, or just walk the damn bike than deal with oblivious people.
@@KandiKlover Then the tourists don't have to walk on the cycle paths, And in the Netherlands that is not necessary either because there are also footpaths especially for pedestrians ;-)
Jahv you seriously crack me up every time you use the Brooklyn Bridge. Love your work. 😀 Its the same here in Sydney, it’s like.....why can’t they just stay one side or the other......
This is always going to be a problem as long as bikes and peds are squeezed into such a narrow passageway. They used to run trains on the top deck of that bridge. There’s plenty of room for a dedicated bike track to be added to it now.
It'd be interesting to know if some of the other tweeting sounds might have the desired path clearing effect without having to resort to the predominant police/cricket /least pleasant sounding whistle but maybe the loudest squeakiest wheels are the only ones that will be attended to.
Probably can't expect a cycle lane to be respected without there being a substantial physical barrier when there's nowhere near enough room for pedestrians . Yes Ddr Hazy has the right question in a comment.
You can tell that the folks walking on the inside of the bike lane have no intention of getting OUT of the bike lane from one end of the bridge to the other.
Brooklyn bridge Purge that's what's needed no mercy on these zombies Jahv. I was getting pissed just watching what you have to put up with on that fucking bridge! Ok I'm gonna chill now. Safe travels to you.
They should give one of the lanes down below over to bikes. Everyone happy except people who think they have a divine right to drive 1 person-1 SUV anywhere, any time.
I'm not very familiar with the infranstructure in NYC however, I've come to a conclusion. A conclusion consisting of converting a vehicle lane(s) to bike lane(s) on the Brooklyn Bridge. If I was commuting between Brooklyn to Manhattan I think I would rather ride the extra distance and take the Manhattan Bridge instead of dealing with this stress. I'm mentally worn just watching these vids after dealing with this on the Golden Gate Bridge on a single two way trip.
Oh dear....poor little cyclist has to slow down for pedestrians.......must be so annoying!!..... don’t worry I’m sure if you band together you could get pedestrians banned completely!!..
Some of these people look like a deer that got caught in the headlight.

Maybe, throw someone over the side and say it was a bike accident and see.

Or just smack their heads and smash their phones.
@@KandiKlover Like Aragorn charging out of Helm's Deep
Time for a lance, Lets go medieval
Barely anyone using the pedestrian section in parts, they all seem drawn to cycle lane.
You really oughta get one of them 5000 lumen off road MTB lights and strobe it here hehehe.
that's nuts looks like you need a tank to get through
I'm gonna start calling Javh "Moses."
haha
Parting the sea of idiots.

Well, take a look at 7:33 -- light did not seem to help (though maybe not sufficiently powerful?).
Some car headlights are way to brite

just seeing this makes me nervous, and I live in the Netherlands, the land of bicycles :-)
Where tourists in the bike lane get ran down.

Thanks man
People didn't move until you almost hit them your horn is that loud I had to turn the volume down they can't all be deaf WTF.
So much for a relaxing ride.
SO Relaxing to watch this video.
Walking on a bike like is like walking on a highway because "there isnt any traffic"
Manhattan bridge is less crowded
Trains make your ears bleed to death tho.
French Police siren for 2019 is now needed when crossing BB
Now my ears go biiiiiiiiiiib biiiiiib biiiiiiib good video
hello from dracula land! new subscriber here! i love your videos and your bike!👌 say, why so many peoples on this bridge? is it normal?
thanks man, it was the holidays and the weather was nice for the time of year. people wanted to enjoy the bridge!

If I was riding my bicycle on the Brooklyn Bridge & encounter pedestrians on the bile lane I’d definitely use a train horn or mad max style lol
Bile lane 😂
2:13 and for a brief commission
Imagine how short this video would be if the lane was clear 😂 at least the youtube algorithm is happy
do it for the algorithm haha
A Train horn will be better haha

I’ll never understand how people can be so ignorant
0:23
I know I'm spoiled, living in the Netherlands but this situation would drive any cyclist insane. Wouldn't it?
maybe a medium fence every 50Meters so not as much foot traffic spreading
they finally separated the bikes from the people
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, NYPD, Trottenberg and Di Blasio.
So when is this game coming out? What's the title of it?
what game?
DAMN THATS A LONG BRIDGE WOW
It's like disinfecting cockroaches, I feel your frustration. I find speeding up helps.
Tie some Darth Maul lightsabers to the bike and your set!
What about just screaming get out of my way move
1:58 trolling of year 😂👍
This bridge looks like my worst nightmare . What is it with walkers that do not pay attention to what they are doing . It would really boil my piss .
I use Manhattan Bridge. !! Then useing Brooklyn Bridge because to many people on the Bridge !
Lay off the horn😂😂
Definitely not the best place for the Foundation of Deaf Who Refuse Hearing-Aids to gather.
1:17 Why 😡
Maybe a good video for voiceover and a sound track you could just say the horn was sounding 98.6% of the video lol
Just plough in to them

Road rage. Bicycle edition.
install an IMALENT MS18 (100,000 lumens) light, a Kahlenberg T-3 Air Horn, and carry a Counter Assault bear spray.
I think a cycle-free day might be appropriate.
thanks jahv
if the brooklin bridge fence is make opaque then pedestrians for fun will not enter #lifehack 😉
I could watch an hour of nothing but Jahv yelling at people.
Homophobic asshole!
that Horn too weak, need a louder one
Okay if I ever find myself riding across the Brooklyn Bridge I need to remind myself not to shiv dumbasses.
Lmao, I know you wanted to kick a few of them people.
hell yea man
The only thing clueless people understand is an air horn!
They should give one of the lanes down below over to bikes. Everyone happy except people who think they have a divine right to drive 1 person-1 SUV anywhere, any time.
MADDENING
I swear people look down see the cyclist logo on the path and think “ah yes i too am a bike” 🤦🏽♂️
Seriously the city needs to block pedestrians from entering the bike lane or someone is going to get hurt badly because of people stupidity
Wow! That is scary AND maddening. Maybe a more intimidating horn is called for - say, a motorcycle with no silencers.
I know tourists bring a ton of money into the city but they are clueless most of the time.
omg
I think you secretly enjoy this. Otherwise, why not take the train?
too poor to afford

angry cyclist lol
Don"t wanna sound racist in shit, i see a lotta walking while Asian... tbh its the way it is.
Tourism what can you do?
Racist asshole.
It's not racist though it's an observation, that you don't like.
I'm happy I triggered your sorry little snowflake ass.
@@Grovel007 what's racist about it, you homophobic moron
If you have to start a sentence with “I don’t mean to be racist, but” or a similar statement, you are about to say some racist shit.
@@Grovel007 that's the point, people like you would see racism in everything, your part of the problem.
Educate yourself
