Cycling NYC : Astoria, Queens to The Hole (Most RUNDOWN Neighborhood?)

[@teresawilliamson3540]

" That Truck was looking for the Hole "

[@petespud1253]

Right thru my old stomping grounds of Elmhurst, Middle Village. Lots of great memories from 50+ years ago! Thanks!

[@loft4me]

A brilliant day, with a few puffy clouds, and 63 degrees. Similar conditions here in Los Angeles county a good day to ride!

[@dream.machine]

I missed you cycling and cycling myself! I have to invest in a new scooter or bike this year and lights and etc... Just like how you miss older McDonald's design, which I miss a bit too, I miss 2000s cars with bigger front and rear lights. The ones today have really thin and sometimes ugly light designs. 🙃 And that was a mess at 51:30

[@ActionKid]

Big mess with the truck for sure

[@Valencenliberty]

I would of never imagined in was most viewed. U have done some wonderful videos compared to the hole ♥️♥️

[@barbarapettry6817]

It looks like he is lost. It's a bad place to be with a big truck. If people only knew they would be more patient but, it's NYC. He looks like he wants to turn around and maybe he knows if he goes down further it won't get better. Ya can't just whip around with a big truck. This will make it to "Bonehead Trucking" for sure. 🙂

[@cashtimevideo1501]

Yep, interesting ride! I'm itching to get back out on my e-bike, now the weather's getting warmer 😄 @ActionKid... you mentioned your car-horn bike horn again. I'd like to get one, if you could please let me know what the make and model is? 😇😊

[@kindnessark8064]

Amazing, great to see another cycling in NYC video. Glad you are doing good and still biking too

Spring has come not only to us in Europe, but also to the streets of American cities. The sun shines brighter every day and life becomes more fun. In my city in Eastern Europe there are not so many new and expensive cars, but our life is relatively cheaper than in America. In our city you can rent 2-room apartments with a separate kitchen, bathroom and separate toilet for $ 200 a month and food is much cheaper, but the salaries are also very small. In our country, a salary of $ 500 is considered very prestigious. But I always wanted to go to America, despite the fact that not everything is good in the USA either, the streets are very dirty and many people are homeless. But I still think America is the best country.

I lived on Forbell st and Liberty Ave. City line, Queens was one block over Drew st. The hole was past the north and south conduit , the streets below the level . This was in 1962 , later on the City would add new sewer systems, the manholes were higher then the homes . They would raise the streets higher then the homes . We had family and friends who lived there .

What a beautiful Spring day!

[@sswan9689]

Thanks for the very interesting & busy (traffic) ride. I guess the driver of the truck was lost. When I saw him jump out of the truck & point for directions, I thought "what in the world"..🚴‍♂️🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️

[@abbaby555]

What a beautiful bike ride, thanks for sharing

[@tranquil2706]

Always enjoy your Astoria trips (grew up there), but your bike rides make me nervous! I know you're a skilled cyclist, so I calm down and enjoy the scenery.

[@MrBillybonka]

Great quality filmed

[@haleyraven.lilrocket9241]

I remember when you took us there yes it was august I watched where the guy asked for change and about how you explained about all the mud and how the mob used it as a body dump.....and the same abandoned cars are still there nothing has been moved

[@ActionKid]

Yes! I was right about the time

[@haleyraven.lilrocket9241]

@@ActionKid you sure we're. It was a good walk I also remember when you took us on that walk we walked passed a huge building complex it was really fun all the walks you take us on are number 1💐🌹

[@jitendrathannoo363]

How I miss this place, would give my life for one day back there

[@bazilCyclist]

Please do MORE cycling videos!

[@michellelmcgraw]

Wow....what a mess w/the trucker & the cars. 😱Thank you as always for your rides & walks!

[@TravelerWit]

Nice nice nice ! Want to visit the city so bad ....

[@sharonsolomon2057]

Goodness....you’ve been so busy!! Can’t watch now, will later 😊❤️❤️

[@Cain-x]

Willets Point is also a hole - even more so now that the city is aiming to develop it but nothing has happened yet. Truly post apocalyptic.

[@miguelmejia4656]

but the hole is much sketchier and more dangerous.

[@eddiew2325]

@@miguelmejia4656at least the hole doesnt suffer from imposter syndrome unlike willets point who pretends to be a mets fan

[@tinasbeans]

Please go to more places in Westchester! I really liked the Sleepy Hollow one. If possible, Untermeyer Park would be cool too.

[@sinansn6499]

Great video cycling thank you for sharing

[@chenell7742]

What an experience! I was so scared for AK the whole time on that bike. Need to go calm my nerves now. 🥴😅😅

[@brianaugello3724]

LOVE this. I grew up in this area. By the way it is St John's cemetery in Middle Village

[@JJJBRICE]

The Hole neighborhood should be the next stop after touring the Times Square area .

[@letstravel300]

Wow...cycling long hours.

[@krissmgvlogs]

Wow, that was nail-biting 51:00 thanks for staying till it was resolved otherwise I would have been full of anxiety 😊🤣

[@ActionKid]

I thought the truck would be there for much longer, I'm happy they were able to get out of there!

[@hesback-joeysworldtourytpm967]

Back in the 80s when I was growin' up in NYC, if you give a thumbs up to someone in appreciation like AK did there, you risked getting shot by a bullet to the head. We lived in constant fear there.

[@barbarapettry6817]

Undoubtedly, a rough ride!!

[@kevinwusanity2242]

What a long ride

[@kindnessark8064]

1:35 wow, that police car just blew the red light too!

[@JAtra3la]

Hello.AK fast driver .You are fast as a car 🚗. Amazing tour cyclilg.🙋

[@moredenmark]

Watch from Denmark 🇩🇰 Nice Work👍

[@DutchBikeBlogger]

Nice to see you on a bike. Did you use your GoPro for this ride ?

[@olafschaper6664]

great image quality but the strange camera pans make me feel sick. what is it, a kind of automatic correction or stabilization?

[@Guppieboi3]

AK's bike rides! my favorites. It's no wonder the roads are all torn up with pot holes after all that record snowfall.

[@mariavega2517]

Stay safe AK

[@harmony72]

so does it feel like you going down when you're going into that neighborhood?

[@TheGalaxyhopper]

I travel every city- I live in a rare fertile area that is so beautiful, I could never leave here.....thanks. from you and others on here, Charlie boy ride through ghettos is interesting,,,,,,,,jason goodman - jacob in vegas is cool.......and it doesnt cost me a dime. thank-your shows are very good.

[@JJJBRICE]

AK do another cycling video with Mary Jane !

[@carsonreno]

Wavvv ordinary day in Ny,like Training day or Serpico movie,a lot of cop cars over there

[@NiSeeeeee]

OMG you went through so many red lights! Don’t you have to follow the same rules as a car?

[@twinsonic]

No cyclist has ever followed any road rules..ever

Invest in a 10-speed bike, AK.

People glamorize the mafia, but can you imagine dumping people's fathers and sons in piles in a place like that? And for what, money & ego.

[@FOTZEL]

as Bette Davis once said`WHAT A DUMP'!

[@maximum4968]

Street , not shtreet. Straight, not shtraight.

[@HotGockel2409]

Wha are the E-Scooters in the USA so shit lame ? Here in Germany there drive up to 23/25 km/h lol

[@eggy6857]

They go much faster in the US. In a lot of European countries like Germany they are limited or even completely illegal.

[@miguelmejia4656]

very sketchy indeed

IM UNSUBSCRIBING CAUSE I'M PARTLY BLIND AND I ALWAYS USE MY CAPS

[@Francisco_420]

I grew up near that area on Pitkin & Euclid. I remember playing at Linden Plaza when it was under construction in the 70's, and "the Hole" was a dump then but we didn't call it that. I enjoyed the ride there but honestly can't understand why this miserable place is of any interest. Every city in America has it's own version of "The Hole", some worse than others. You're a little weird Actionkid.
