the bell is shit, get some horn on that bike, they dont even turn their heads for the bell

[@futuredoc2014]

YES That's what I have. The siren tone works wonders on crosswalks.

[@JustWickedSwede]

Nah, singing opera and pedaling. That is the answer to all problems.

[@theanimaster]

I got a Spurcycle bell - nice, resonating sound - but it confuses the hell out of people - they don’t know where the sound is coming from! They always think it’s in front of them and not behind…. Weird!

[@RidingWithJahv]

Time for an electric horn. Dont be sorry, I yell at people too.

[@danielrose1392]

I heard it's illegal to install an electric horn, only allowed for cars. Maybe an air horn instead ;)

[@papatoni3311]

That's what I was thinking

[@jadoei13]

Riding With Jahv train horn maybe? :-P

[@georgethechicken912]

If you could get a small train horn or something

[@ericulk_8414]

Riding With Jahv me to

[@alexhalsall2909]

I cannot take this seriously with your ringadingalingalinga bell 😂

[@EugeneD7]

"ringadingalingalinga bell" That's what I'm calling it from now on.

[@gytisdramblewolfskis8521]

It is a bad bell, doesn't sound like a warning. Car beeps, those make you run, your ringadingalinga bell, makes you think "what is that sound?"

[@fakeascanbe423]

"Timmy is home from school."

[@dino3965]

Pretty sure that's the same bell I had on my tricycle when I was 3 lmao

[@irishcountrygirl78]

Jam Ma lol

[@sppammm]

You're *very* patient. I'd use a fog horn xD

[@MelkorHimself]

Buy the HornIt. 145 dB of ear splitting righteousness.

[@veltmore1]

Have fun being deaf !

[@MattSezer]

I've pretty much given up riding bike lanes in NYC, as the pedestrians in them are just too crazy. Try going up the 8th Ave bike lane in midtown around 6pm, and it's basically like riding on the sidewalk. At that time of day, I'm riding at or faster than the speed of traffic, so not riding in the bike lane is safer for everybody.

[@ColdStartAuto]

Matt Sezer I've never been to new York city but I just got stationed in newYork, cant you get a ticket for that if a cop feels like being a dick?

[@mattatiger2773]

Not only is it safer, it’s also legal to not use the bike lane. As bikes are considered vehicles and must follow the laws as a vehicle, but also have the *rights* of a vehicle. Including riding in the road (as in not the bike lane).

[@Miidaguy1]

First of all. your the crazy one. RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK. If you don't like it. Move someplace where to can ride your bike. Like the desert. Wimpy cry baby. Grown up.

[@mattatiger2773]

Also, you’re the cry baby’s you hypocrite. You don’t even know the difference between your and you’re lol.

[@blaze8976]

hey. dont be sorry. if i was in your spot i would yell "get out of the F**king way!!!" but thats just me.

[@brandonm2009]

Put a 20oz air tank in your backpack, hooked up to a transport truck horn. That'll get there attention. Not sure how long it would last though. A 20oz will fire a paintball gun about 1000 times. Hey there's an idea.... Mount a paintball gun to your bike. lol

[@MrFiddleedee]

sounds extremely illegal

[@MrFiddleedee]

the electronic horn is fine, the paintball gun mounted to a bike is not and will land you a felony charge

[@trabant3060]

@@MrFiddleedee it took you a year to add that?

[@theSFBrit]

One time I was a pedestrian who did this and a bicyclist loudly whispered "fuck" right in my ear. Weird as hell

[@EugeneD7]

That may have been me :o

[@worlwr2]

The important thing is: Were you an obstruction to road traffic (if they had right of way)? If you were, did you learn your lesson?

[@bumyable7123]

Britt loudly whispered?

[@jamesalbis4425]

Dude had the same problem on the street.. My horn is like so loud but the people seems doesn't care.. They just continue walking not even looking at their back if a car or bike is coming.. One time i almost hit this woman with a child walking on the road.. I sound my horn 10 feet before getting near them for 5 seconds but the woman didn't look. She is busy with her mobile phone by the way, on the street.. And when i almost hit them she blame me for riding a bike.. I always been a defensive bike driver..

[@graceling2883]

I love how your videos bring out the humour in infuriating bike commute situations especially with those little text comments... [1 step]

[@EugeneD7]

Thanks :)

[@NHGJLK]

How come your channel hasn't blown up yet? Keep up the quality, maaaaaaaaaaaaan!!

[@EugeneD7]

That's what I'd like to know! I'm calling Google Executives right now!

[@Zenakuu14]

Content is not even original and there is no purpose on this channel, other then riding a bike and getting pissed off for riding in the city lol.

[@kali5519]

chill lol. still entertaining

[@EugeneD7]

Kali thanks babe! =D

[@kali5519]

You know it :) Loving the videos, keeps me entertained while Deliveroo aren't giving me shifts :D

[@ynotnilknarf39]

That sucks, is this really the standard of 'human being' in new York, head down, walk into the road whenever not giving a fuck? I thought London was bad (I rarely ride there personally) but this is shit. I'm so glad I live out in the countryside and don't generally have to ride at peak times, this would drive me insane as it did you!

[@crea7331]

2:19 Look at the Porche's front tire :D

[@faridsolati]

Nah bro it wasn't your fault.

[@Be3cat]

''im just gonna park here'' HAHAHAHAAH that caption tho

[@Deano185]

so you hate pedestrians like us motorists hate you. interesting how things work

[@EugeneD7]

I hate everyone :)

[@hesseldv57]

Its simple mate. Trucks hate cars, cars hate motorists, motorists hate cyclists, cyclists hate everyone. Also be sure to remember that the top hates everything below them

[@HawkinaBox]

LOL!

[@lc7592]

I hate motorist, so fucking loud

[@dylansadventures5213]

Taehyung's tongue Jimin's hair I'm a motorist:(

[@vnigallahoir3523]

I have definitely snapped at people using the bike lane like a turn lane. In full uniform, to their face. "THIS. IS A BIKE LANE. ARE YOU A IN A BIKE?!"

[@jackrodgersjr]

Dani R I will remember that and scream at every bicycle rider who breaks the law and threatens my safety.

[@Zodroo_Tint]

If you trying to speak canadian it's: "Are you in a bike a?" not "Are you a in a bike?"

[@pantlessalex]

2:59 looks like someone is listening to pumped up kicks i dont know why its something i should comment about but whatever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@thomasm.8976]

That chihuahua was walking with so much confidence lol😂😂

[@Iusti06]

Loosing you cool? They clearly deserve to be yelled at for being ignorant.

[@VTECTWINTURBO92]

That little bell isn’t working thats why keep my bike loaded with a air horn lmao the jay walkers love it 😂😂😂

[@smainx]

Did I just see a messenger using a bike lane ?! :D

[@sophipearl7350]

The amount of times that this happens to me is insane. I can’t even count how many times I’ve almost been run over by a person shooting out out of an alleyway LOL.

[@nickmattedwards]

I sympathise with your annoyance, I really do. Almost all of the collisions I have been involved in over the years when riding my bicycle have been caused by pedestrians literally just walking right out in front of me. Having been badly hurt on two separate occasions it was one of the factors which made me give up bicycling for good. It wasn't like this when I was a kid, nowadays everyone's too busy listening to music on their earphones and/or looking at the phones, to actually be aware of their environment.

[@befree3206]

Omg, that chihuahua made my day, prancing across the road like that!😍

[@Arjay404]

Love your music taste, also nice video.

[@EugeneD7]

rjh00 thanks!

[@lukelemmons8650]

I just started watching these biking videos and it blows my mind how so many ppl woud rather take a car than a bike in a city! Like you literally can have access to a form of transportation that requires no gas, has no emissions, can fit in small spaces, and is like 1/50th of the price!!! And it keeps you fit!!!! People the answer to your problems is right there!

[@Camberwell86]

Strange. You're a "drive on the right" nation but some of your one ways put bikes on the left, some on the right. Confusing Franz Ferdinand rocks btw :)

[@cloudywon]

Camberwell86 America is just weird in general

[@stevorules1820]

Its to see the cars. If both car and bike are on right you can't tell if car is too far over and will hit you. The same rule applies for pedestrians where there is no sidewalk.

[@ivan-tk4ib]

Read your comment again. You can ride on both sides on a bike lane. If it's on the right to you then it's the left for the person going at your side.

[@REspinell]

Thank you for showing the world the frustration of NYC bike commuting. People are beyond oblivious on those roads. Ride safe, bro!

[@nerfiasjust4461]

Hey man, thank you for posting this kind of videos! This is entertaining for me, non USA citizen to watch how bicycle life flows in NY. I Like the atmosphere and that silent music playing... Like, I am really riding in NY :) Keep it comming! Greetings from Ukraine

[@ICKY427]

That's you "snapping"? you're a saint. cursing is my default, snapping is a whole other level for me haha

[@thomasscott407]

Do not be sorry for what you said. You have all rights to say that. I do a lot of rural cycling and that looks like hell I would loose my cool really quickly with just walking in a city never mind taking a bike.

[@0manderijn0]

Wow, this makes me so happy to live in the Netherlands! All I typically have to ring my bell at is other cyclists that I want to pass xD

[@Christoph8]

2:59 ;)

[@verona.t]

I love that you can hear Franz Ferdinand in the background in almost every video hahaha

[@SKBKER]

That bell is useless . Airhorn, Hornit or even shouting is better .

[@EugeneD7]

I got the bell in VID018 because I would shout before and pedestrians didn't care and the comments told me to get a bell! lol

[@akatsukinaty]

Gotta say I love your playlist!

[@dannifugl3188]

Angry at jaywalkers - 2 min later - riding in the middle of the road not using the bikelane :P

[@futuredoc2014]

Nothing illegal about that. The bike lane is supposed to just be a safe zone for cyclists where cars and peds can't enter, but since cops don't ever enforce it, it's just as dangerous as the road. But it's not illegal to ride outside the bike lane.

[@Kratos510e]

SW_student33 it actually is illegal to not use the bike lane, the only time you can get out of the bike lane is if something is blocking the lane. I'm not sure about any other places but that's how it is in CA. 21208. (a) Whenever a bicycle lane has been established on a roadway pursuant to Section 21207, any person operating a bicycle upon the roadway at a speed less than the normal speed of traffic moving in the same direction at that time shall ride within the bicycle lane, except that the person may move out of the lane under any of the following situations: When overtaking and passing another bicycle, vehicle, or pedestrian within the lane or about to enter the lane if the overtaking and passing cannot be done safely within the lane. When preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway. When reasonably necessary to leave the bicycle lane to avoid debris or other hazardous conditions. When approaching a place where a right turn is authorized. (b) No person operating a bicycle shall leave a bicycle lane until the movement can be made with reasonable safety and then only after giving an appropriate signal in the manner provided in Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 22100) in the event that any vehicle may be affected by the movement.

[@williambrennan7794]

Kratos510e why site California law on a video from New York?

[@Kratos510e]

william brennan, because NY is within the states and also has bike lines so it's very likely that their bike laws are the same if not very similar to CA, which they are. Also CA bike laws came up first in search. VTL 1234. Riding on roadways, shoulders, bicycle or in-line skate lanes and bicycle or in-line skate paths. (a) Upon all roadways, any bicycle or in-line skate shall be driven either on a usable bicycle or in-line skate lane or, if a usable bicycle or in-line skate lane has not been provided, near the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway or upon a usable right-hand shoulder in such a manner as to prevent undue interference with the flow of traffic except when preparing for a left turn or when reasonably necessary to avoid conditions that would make it unsafe to continue along near the right-hand curb or edge. Conditions to be taken into consideration include, but are not limited to, fixed or moving objects, vehicles, bicycles, in-line skates, pedestrians, animals, surface hazards or traffic lanes too narrow for a bicycle or person on in-line skates and a vehicle to travel safely side-by-side within the lane. RCNY 4-12 (p)(3) Bicyclists should ride in usable bike lanes, unless they are blocked or unsafe for any reason.

[@williambrennan7794]

Kratos510e um no. I can concealed carry without a permit in AZ so by your logic I should be able to in CA, BUT THEYRE DIFFERENT STATES WITH DIFFERENT LAWS.

[@marcotuliodelareti]

2:22 don't be sorry man, we understand your anger XD

[@nathansingh4150]

You're are too easy on these people dude! Here in the UK we just shout or fly through them. Also, in the UK a cyclist has more rights over cars. Good video man, but don't feel bad for a little swearing.

[@yudalazuardi7750]

The things I miss most about NYC: 1. Cars always honking wherever you are 2. Jaywalkers 3. Road rages are like daily activity 4. Uptight citizens 5. Taking subway during rush hour

[@Chisei1899]

You have some nice music

[@therandomperson5917]

I am going to need that playlist, my Pops used to listen to that when I was a baby and I just realized that they exist

[@Zvalgryn]

it's bad enough to hope someone will yield to pedestrians in a parking lot. I'm scared to walk even when I have a walk symbol at a crossing, who in their right mind walks against a red hand? Oh, nevermind, I forget that people in their right mind are few and far between these days.

[@adambeausoleil8194]

I’m sure that ringing noise is probably the last thing you’ll hear when someone parks their Buick on top of you ! Lol

[@misstnt5666]

People jay walk in New York 24/7. Honking your bell and getting mad isnt gonna do anything. This stuff happens in New York, if your gonna make a big deal move somewhere else

[@Caesaurus]

Bhahahaha, what a bunch of oblivious goats! 🐐🐐😂🐐🐐 Time for a powerful strobe light + poweful *air horn* !!

[@PA_Transparency]

@ 2:30 you post videos about other people but you stop almost half way into the cross walk? The white line about a bike length behind you of where you should stop!

[@ethanhamto2405]

That isn't even close to half way

[@plush3106]

That's like 1/6th of the cross walk, what on earth is even going through your head thinking thats even marginally accurate?

[@bb3ca201]

You had considerable patience, bro...props. I wouldn't have taken their crap for two seconds

[@Cnutthegreat15]

You poor thing, having to slightly move your silent bike around walking people.

[@carbikenetwork]

I like your compliments - ''F-king people'' - from tomorrow I start to use the same words

[@MuertoPorDentro512]

As annoying as it is, please slow down more when passing these people. If you bump them they could fall and in some circumstances will die if they hit their head a certain way. Roaring past them and increasing danger because they have done the wrong thing is not the answer to this problem. Cyclists who do this are no better than motorists who do the same IMHO. I'd recommend grabbing an Airzound horn too, may be more audible in NYC than your bell.

[@eldangeroso68]

Ya dude, you are way more chill than I could ever be.

[@nvkotex6972]

I hope you post the video of someone feeding you that bell when it happens.

[@Richdbiskit]

I am sooo glad you put subtitles down for every time you rang the bell, I thought it was my head ringing

[@pappy9473]

I'm a little ashamed of your behaviour. As bicycle users we have the responsibility to respect other road users. Tearing through a city ringing a frenzied bell simply annoys people. Try to consider commuting as a pleasant cycle not a race. Enjoy. 😊

[@ethanhamto2405]

Ur right a train horn would be better

[@williambrennan7794]

Youre an idiot.

[@Americansikkunt]

william brennan no, your the idiot.

Don't apologize. Whenever I jaywalk, I expect to get yelled at. And then I yell back. Circle of life.

I live and work in Manhattan. When pedestrians see a bike coming with the right of way, many will start walking across the street against the wall light in the path of the oncoming bike. I suggest getting a Loud Bike Horn.

There is one thing that is worse than jaywalking pedestrians - DRUNK jaywalking pedestrians in group. Biking through central Gothenburg on a weekend night is like trying to pedal through a zombie apocalypse.
