Chasing Strangers in Manhattan on Bicycles

Chasing Strangers on Bicycles in Manhattan
I felt like it was time to give the bike lane a chance. In this series of short video compilations I follow unsuspecting strangers around to find out just how “easy” it is to ride around the big apple. I am in no way the authority on the subject of cycling or commuting. The statements and views expressed in this video are just like my opinion, man.

"I just ran a red light sorry bout that"... "these people are going even though it's my turn" 😂

[@mudflap2020]

LMAO facts

[@iamf6641]

sorry about that

[@MannequinOngaku]

the give and take

[@ansel_]

Going through a red when the intersection is clear and you're not blocking anyone is different than blindly j-walking into traffic

[@sirmixalot3332]

You ain’t never lied

[@borisb.5024]

I'd love to see more strangers chased, angry commuter was 10/10

[@pangpengmaster]

I love how he cursed with passion

[@Brian-bg3sv]

@@pangpengmaster and then gingerly peddles around town.

[@Cesar-cm4if]

So many people without helmets! I wish they started wearing nta helmets like xnito or bern hudson, they're better than cpsc helmets, and def better than no helmet at all

[@rockshox71]

looks like he's been riding for many years in the city, But damn, he's passing parked cars way too close,. Guess he never got doored. Yet.

[@BrandonScales]

This is the realest version of street photography I've ever seen in my life

[@user-yk1cw8im4h]

This is videography not photography, idiot

[@josephxkendrick]

"Pushing a fast cadence between 30 and 40 RPMs." Lol.

[@joesutherland2017]

@Wayne Bryan Fast meaning sarcastic......

[@robertnussberger2028]

He's actually pretty fast with that bike. I wish I have a bike with thin wheels.

[@sixtwenty2181]

The commentary is gold in this one! 100% accurate representation of riding in NYC.

[@gaspring12345]

SixTwenty2 ••• nigga you stupid you Ain’t from ny aren’t you

[@TheBirdThatKnowsWhatsGood]

@@gaspring12345 And he's probably glad he ain't, NY is a overpopulated shithole and the people there have no respect at all, oh and getting to work and back is just a complete clusterfuck of traffic, it takes you 30 minutes to go 1 mile.

[@gaspring12345]

RICARDO MILOS nah best city in the world if you ain’t from here your life sucks dead ass

[@cuztanksrule4774]

It’s always gonna be 2 clashing perspectives. Best place vs worst place. I happen to see the details of both

[@gaspring12345]

cuztanksrule47 tru

[@sirdavid1458]

it's awesome to see how people ride when they don't know someone is following and filming. just them doing their true, everyday thing. great video as always and looking forward to more of these.

Greatest line

[@dannyr333]

Lmao

[@sidnum]

I found this very relaxing for some reason. But also... 4:29 - "These people are all going even though it's my turn" 4:00 - "Yeah that was a red light. I do apologize." 0:32 - Runs red light 1:05 - Runs red light 3:52 - Runs red light 6:09 - Runs red light 7:05 - Runs red light 8:38 - Runs red light 9:10 - Runs red light 10:40 - Runs red light LOL.

[@nykolazjoya]

[@leonardouliano4896]

guy's basically a self-absorbed jerk.

[@robbiemaddisonftw]

@@aume5763 yeah no ur wrong

[@sidnum]

Aume - Asinine thinking

[@robertnussberger2028]

The cars really don't drive fast in new york city. People say they do. But that's just because they make a lot of sounds on the crappy bumpy road. They do like 15 or 25. Mostly 15. And a red light there is a red light. Or else the nypd will smoke you with a super expensive ticket. I've been to nyc many times before. I just never rode my bike there.

[@brandoncornel7080]

Yooooooo do more of these!!!!! Thanks for highlighting the experience of riding in a NYC bike lane

[@fahrradmittelfranken8207]

I second this. Must have more!

[@mudflap2020]

Yes please I wanna see more

[@Lalfy]

I love love love your videos. Aside from the excellent biking it also makes for great site seeing. High up camera angle, super crisp footage, and mostly centred in the street so I get a good view of all the surrounding buildings, people, and traffic. Makes me wants to visit NYC so badly. You guys should make a video ripping around on Citi bikes just for fun. Keep doing what you do. It's perfect. I'd like to see more of Terrys face now and again.

[@jadamane]

It’s not suped up as it seems to be.

[@FlyinColorz]

We need more of these man. This is such a pleasure to watch and listen to. Great footage

[@backdoorslam]

hey Terry I could've listen to you for hours. Following normal bikers is a great idea. Cant wait for your next upload.

[@serge933]

Please continue this series! 10/10 for sure. Enjoyed your over voicing on the video as well

[@kingphil1969]

How can such a seemingly dull video be so fascinating? Love it

[@ArjanGroe]

Love how you gave out Hotline stickers! This is GOLD.

[@2StepTim]

The commentary on this one is Gold ! Top notch! The shirt off while riding rule got me ! Big UPS from WNY

[@TheprogresBMX]

Loved this video! Wish I found more like it. I really like the concept of seeing different riding styles and how casual commuters deal with each situation in traffic.

[@TheprogresBMX]

Plus he was actually pretty funny

[@jorgergonzalezvisualartist8925]

Good one Terry, yes this series is a nice contrast to your other videos. You can expect a huge adrenaline rush when you follow your usual pros but with these guys you never know what you going to get and at the same time is more liking to us mortals.

[@pudelmuetz1]

i like this style of videos, super chill and relaxing i could watch for hours

[@drlest717]

Just randomly found you. Love the random, and sometimes funny epic cycling videos. From a major cyclist to another - you're rad, dude!

[@JD_82]

Love these 4k videos dude. Watching this on my big 4k TV is awesome. I'm from europe and might never see NY in my life so this is the best I can get :) keep dem coming

[@zamoranyc]

Love your videos, a combination of people watching along with bike riding in my favorite city.

[@inflinirator]

Runs a red but gets mad when the peds do it to him - yeah I'm guilty of that too

[@MrTripsJ]

I flipped a guy off and then realized he had the right of way to walk hahahaha

[@liamsimpson8233]

I think his point is that people shouldn't get so mad when cyclists bend the rules bc everyone is constantly doing illegal shit, getting in the way of bikes

[@churchmember4484]

First time watching. Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s cool to watch the different riding styles of each rider. You can easily tell the difference in experience vs no experience riding.✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽

[@twgood5882]

This is the compilation I've been waiting for.

[@chwbiker]

Cool video! I enjoyed the commentaries all the way! Kept it simple and it work! Good job!

[@54fourty6]

Love your videos! You are really good at keeping the person in the same part of the gram while the city seems to just scroll by. Very cool.

[@BreceLuu]

That was the realest documentary I've seen in a while. Impressive that nobody got hurt. 🌊🏄

[@serge933]

We need more of this! Love these types of videos.

[@TheRealAssix]

Even random bike drivers look good in your videos! Keep your awesome work up Terry!

[@anjudazo1368]

This is just insane. I love this video and the other ones you make. Feels like a real life video game if that even makes sense. This is def a fave. 💯👌

[@birdiedaboy]

this is great, love to see the diferent random styles from your city!

[@user-pv2mj4xg7z]

You should keep doing this format. Good stuff!

[@Aboycostelo]

Definitely a different view of cycling on new York, like the idea! Excellent, as always!

[@ashleycraiglozada2550]

Your wide angle camera always give me anxiety when you're squeezing into the traffic

[@keithcummings691]

I enjoy the Chasing Strangers videos along with your commentary breakdown of each segment. Your opinion on the gray area of the use of bike lanes is note worthy. Eyes up everybody safe travels y'all

[@PhilVandelay]

This was as interesting as it was hilarious, please do more of these!

[@sommelierofstench]

i’m dying this is so funny. i love these

[@nickdumais]

Wow this is absolutely beautiful! I could watch this all day 😂 The older gentleman is majestic riding down the streets of NYC.

[@kroeff_san]

"He seems pretty chill" 🤣🤣🤣 Great video 🔥🔥🔥

[@kellenwillett8263]

I dig this. Love the commentary and also love strangers. Do more where you kinda just showcase how different New Yorkers do their thing. Maybe quicker segments and a few more riders total.

[@bradbianco]

I grew up on the West coast and we have noting like this! Really cool to have this view. Thanks for posting!

[@Tedb1975]

I'm cracking up at the dude sitting in an office chair in the middle of the bike lane at 5:31. C'mon man!

[@TheBlessedOwl]

😂😂

[@pineboy13]

This was good,especially kick stand man with th extra trick manuver. More please😃

[@mykolahlushakov1276]

why was it so interesting for me? idk wtf but duuude keep doing what you're doing

[@tugazuga]

1:48 Shake it off champ... hope he is ok... Damn you said "i think he was a little embarrased" i would have left the bike and run home crying 😂😂

[@vincentribeirobenvenuto9080]

haha! That was the funniest thing I've watched all week! Amazing

[@averyjamesbrooks]

Nice one Terry 🤙 I like the moment of that dude having his aggro interaction with a driver but then going back to being totally chill on his bike

[@tripledoublemedia9119]

So mesmerizing to watch, it’s like a controlled chaos

[@vincentmartel2179]

Cool storytelling, more please!! Thanks for the videos! :-)

[@gnarlytothemax]

[@austin3516]

As a daily bike commuter in Durham, NC, this is really entertaining. Make more of these.

[@beckyb6115]

This was very entertaining 💜. I enjoy this experiment 😄

[@werecanadian2]

[@Jeffrey9In4Chains]

This was oddly satisfying to watch. For a moment I thought it was a 3rd person video game lol

[@adamweb]

This one's great haha please follow around more sketchy people!

[@TheShmekler]

Your videos make me want to move to NY and learn how to do this! So Awesome.

[@hamiltonfixedrider]

After you gave “ that guy stickers... “. Then I relaxed and enjoyed the video 😉🚲👍👍👍👍👍

[@stevebillingsley2262]

Terry what you do is so cool I live in the country in Kansas city area new York is so nice I love the tree lines streets and what you do is nothing short of amazing I did not know know your city could be so nice in spite crime etc what you do is amazing thanx its so cool to watch I am 76 but I think I could make it happen to a certain degree thanx again for vlogs

[@damionalcantar9891]

"These people are all going even though it's my turn" says the guy who just ran a red light🤣 me

[@petervanzyverden]

I enjoy the commentary, would be cool to hear the inside scoop on some of the hotline vids. Loving the content!

[@Alex-ol6dm]

[@undiggit]

soo good, the commentary is brilliant

[@quentinbernard638]

the commentary make it really funny. i was not expecting anything from this recommendation but i did actually had a good time. wants to do the same in Boston now

[@pg3196]

Very interesting watching different peoples riding styles and what it looks like to cycle in New York. Cycling in London is a lot different for sure. Love what you do Terry.

[@yodaslehrer4930]

I have been waiting for a part 2.

[@denisbocharov6227]

Great idea! Definitely cool video! We want some more)))

[@themostwretchedbeast]

This is great. Really engaging , bus also really relaxing.

[@KennyCapo]

lmaoooo, one day you might catch me lacking on my bike

[@jeffreytabois]

This is one of my favorite videos. I laugh all the time when I watch it. Those two guys, the one who fell and the one who was cursing had me dying. Can you tell me when we will see that video of the guy who wants to ride through the underground rail road?? I’d like to see that.

[@marcin2465]

Haha. Awesome vid & commentary

[@leeandersonofficial7796]

Like when you start to follow any car in GTA randomly

[@anthonyconrad5027]
