Follow Jacob || Berlin Bike Messenger

Jacob and I used to work together at Khora back in the days and I could follow him for couple of hours while his new foodie job through Berlin Mitte.
I really enjoyed this shoot & edit and will make some more messenger portraits soon, stay tuned.

[@albertsht]

very nice, good edit and superb with the insights

[@krissifadwa]

Jeez, I love this style of how the cyclists are recorded. Reminds me of when I saddle and ride out through the city. I miss Europe. Please upload more!

[@paolostrada93]

Fuck riding anywhere near those tram tracks, I would definitely end up jamming a wheel in there haha. Cool vid keep it up

[@drplama8596]

That's exactly what happened 2 years ago in Berlin when were riding bikes with my partner.

A German Terry Berrentsen, thats what we needed 🙌

[@AlaskaSeelachs04]

You're literally complaining about that the one car that had "no patience"!? You have just broken the traffic rules dude xD I'd do the same if you'd cut my lane on an intersection.

[@oleeeeegggggg]

but perhaps you would have seen a bike on the intersection of two big roads in front of you. most probably the bike would not follow the rules and on the next red light will overtake you anyway. so whats the purpose of honking and accelerating so aggressively if you will still wait on the next intersection?

[@AlaskaSeelachs04]

@@oleeeeegggggg The first thing that goes completely wrong here is that I have to assume that cyclists don't follow the rules at all. But I do this anyway. And why? Because under no circumstances do I want to hurt a cyclist. The reason for the horn honking is simpler than many cyclists might think: In Germany, the horn is a warning signal both in and out of town. Besides slowing down and warding off a dangerous situation, it is obligatory. Because if a cyclist has already lined up when turning off in multiple lanes, I only expect the cyclist to change lanes if he announces his intention to change lanes AND looks over his shoulder (This ist at least what I'd do if I want to ever see my family again). He did neither and thus cut the car. If he had followed his lane after choosing the left one, nothing would have happened... And on the subject of overtaking: cyclists have designated cycle paths or bus lanes there that have been specially released for cyclists (see signs). So if you stick to the StVO, you won't get in the way of the cars, so that in the end it doesn't matter who overtakes whom.

​@@AlaskaSeelachs04 it one thing to honk to warn and be concerned about safety. It is another thing to honk way after when everything is safe anyways. That's an ego thing for sure.

Respect for him posting via Telegram about a cop sighting. Always gotta watch those shifty cops!

[@tasomaniac]

So ironic that he uses his bike while riding

[@pyfii]

Could you do a bike check at the end of the video next time?

[@maxmudroom]

Thought about that also and will try to implement it if it fits, thanks for the input!

Runing red lights on is a very selfish and stupid thing to do, even on a bike

[@yigitulker7462]

which handlebar is he using?

[@maxmudroom]

Flared drop bar, don't know the model.

[@jhscotty]

just a simple red cycling products flared gravel drop bar

[@yigitulker7462]

@@jhscotty thanks jacob! i’ve never seen a gravel drop bar on a fixed gear build, looks great. ride safely✌🏻

[@roadkill_toronto]

“Liberating” bikes. He explains it so well but it still sounds like theft to me. In Toronto some people say that to justify theft from defenceless homeless people they feel don’t deserve or could have bought the bicycle they themselves also never earned. Some losers even gang up and go looking for homeless people with nice bikes to steal from. Snooping in peoples backyards and reporting the location of a group of undesirables. If its not cool when others do it why would he? Or anyone?
