Bombing Down Broadway 2021 Alleycat (NYC Trackbikes)

Doesn’t follow any traffic laws but wants to yell at other vehicles when he gets cut off, smh

Entitlement mentality it is Murica after all, where the fittest of us are still 10 lbs overweight :D

[@Missusri]

There is nothing admirable about being bravado--crossing yellow lines; being too close with one cyclist to another; jumping red lights; yelling at walkers....did they tell their mom they were going to do that?

[@rabidingo]

its an unsanctioned high stakes race so yea thats the idea

[@rabidingo]

@@MK2EA if you lived here you would see it’s not a big deal.

[@MK2EA]

@@rabidingo It definitely should not be promoted that way. You have a large amount of views and this only encourages dangerous behaviour, I don't see how you can defend this. It does nothing good for anyone, risk yourself or others getting hurt and then posting it online encourages others to do it. Don't get me wrong when I was younger I was the same, but I grew up. It's kind of childish and makes cyclists look bad.

[@KuriosPC]

I agree. Alley cat races are awesome. But the fact is that all of the riders all breaking all traffic rules. It would be different if there was an actual closed off track, then a driver missed the sign that said "Do Not Enter". Then our anger would be justified.

[@hakantorstensson8053]

@@rabidingo Well, not interested (spelling?) I use to go as fast as I manage in the streets in Malmö (sweden) BUT I always, mostly, follow the rules. However, speeding over 40 km/h is unlawful and thats real fun but I am always polite.

[@rabidingo]

@@hakantorstensson8053 it was a bit of joke that didn’t land on my part, Håkan. I do believe NYC’s culture is a little different than Sverige - not saying I’m being polite in this video, but I think riding like this would be a bigger deal in other parts of the world, or even other parts of the US.

[@hakantorstensson8053]

@@rabidingo Some rules I never breake, redlights f.x, biking on pedestrian walks, BUT speed limit is to breake!. The SL actually applies to bicycles but noone has probably been fined.

[@lewis7515]

The brutish shouting at pedestrians using a crossing on their light just made my blood boil... I wanted one of them to spin, drop him with a length of pipe, and then be on their way.

[@DriverJ-N]

so bicyclists are good to just go through red lights? and if yes why?

[@rabidingo]

Because you get there faster. That’s all it comes down to, you get there faster.

2:20 you couldve gotten your brains spilled over the floor had your handle bar caught the bus and you would fall right beneath the bus rear wheels.also the bus has a blind spot there. i saw someone on reddit who died like that

good shit bro

[@bravohomie]

I tried that in Miami, I got pelted off my bike and needed a new front *wheel

[@michaels5166]

Ok, so I see there's a lot of opinions about this. When we rode, we never stopped unless we HAD to, and we hit no one. I got bumped into a mirror and went flying from a car next to me in flowing traffic, so the so called 'argument' about traffic rules is case by case. You either have the balls to ride or you don't ,just like us in the woods flying through the air, going down crazy hills ,etc. That being said, I love when people ramble on about riders while pedestrians hardly ever obey traffic rules, and the drivers, they can drive so aggressively, it's a wonder anyone out here is alive. We have instances of cars going into stores, hopping the curb and taking out the lightposts. We have a private house 4 blocks from me, this car went into their yard and up the front steps, ending up sitting in the steps, blocking the front door. I'm all about if one group needs to follow rules then everyone else has to abide by the same. It looks fun to me ,yet i never owned a fixed wheel bike, so I have to see if that interests me...

[@random_julian]

minute 1:30-32 sec... you riding on a bike, fast, and i supose it is red light already but you see a car that make veeery slowly left but very gentle, nothing agressive from that driver aaand the biker starts to screeeam, HEEEI HEEEI...Dude, why? You know? When you are riding a bike, you also need to chill down the speed, there is no law for the bikers to be above the justice. you ned to clam down the speed when you see pedestrians, because it is a polite gesture, or any other cases...heeii heeeeei! :) You have a lot of situation that you are riding on the other side of the double continuous line, are you deliver some heart transplant or something? Do you deliver a note for the president or? From where this type of atitude, crossing throw a lot of people when they cross on green light, because they have rights, and if you are hot one of them, are you get angry again because they don't make space for you, when you obviously have red ???Are you trying to ask people why are on the bike lane? You are getting pisset of because one man in on the lane? Dude, you have a lot of moments when you are not in you lane, you are in the middle of a lot of illegal situation, don't judge other people from the bike lane. At 4:35 you literaly scream at that drive in the middle of the intersection, and you have no right to be there, by the law, so be happy that police is not watching your videos because you can get a lot of tickets, or at least don;t be so proud of you.
