Should I go left ?

[@louiswijanarto]

Left

[@wildthings6670]

Go in the middle... Don't, actually

[@dragonwolf55]

Left please.

[@davidsheehan999]

Left

[@muyaho420]

???: "On your left"

[@Velofil]

visual contact is so much better than physical contact... (at least with cars ;-)

[@Rafael_Gomes]

XD Indeed it must be! ;p

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

Or right?

[@AdityaMcCartney]

Yeah Right

[@ketmax2805]

go to the middle

[@ketmax2805]

Hazza//TDA silly little kid

[@PrintScreen.]

Hazza//TDA are you stupid or what?

[@PrintScreen.]

left please it looks more interesting

[@paulflory3532]

Motorcycle safety training says it's dangerous to trust eye contact too much. Someone can be looking right at you and not see you if their focus is behind or in front of you. Eye contact with a gesture as you have here can usually be trusted. Also look at the front wheel of the car to see if it is rotating or steering, that will give a split second quicker indication of motion or the direction of a turn. Of course if someone is NOT looking at you, they probably don't see you!!!

[@jameswebb2053]

I've driven by this building so many times and never knew there was a garden and cafe. I'm going tomorrow for coffee. Great videos. Keep honking

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

YEAH James! ahha awesome

[@qazqwerty757]

Rush hour is the most fun time to ride, though I ride with an air horn and a death wish.

[@Rafael_Gomes]

XD

[@danielpopovici107]

Man I wish my city had half the bike infrastructure of Lisbon. I ride to work mostly on the side walks and a little on the streets because the drivers are absolutely crazy

[@Schnorchmorch]

Eastern Europe or America?

[@fatima668]

What city do you live in?

[@danielpopovici107]

Eastern Europe, Romania

[@Diyomaro]

For the first time, I rode 30 miles total (48km) Thank you for inspiring me. I've always wanted to build the stamina to ride everywhere, and I feel like I'm getting to that goal. Thanks from NYC. You should visit sometime and ride our crazy streets.

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

That message melts my soul. Thank you. I'm glad you are enjoying a lot cycling! Keep doing it Diyomaro! One day .. ;)

[@kitten-inside]

You can't win because most of those bike lanes, sorry, most bike lanes everywhere, are badly executed. The only thing that works is physical separation (high curbs, fence posts, etc.). If cars or pedestrians can easily cross into your path, they will.

[@Rafael_Gomes]

Andrzej Sawicki Yup, I'm of the same opinion.

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

True :(

[@sabias3932]

Wha? I’m from Southern California and the bike lanes in Lisbon are much better executed than those here.

[@SharityGaming]

I like your style and how polite you are! Greetz from Biker and Driver | Berlin/Germany

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

Danke!

[@patoviera]

Love your videos man! (Especially the ones when it's raining) I watch them every time you post one. Now I really like Lisbon and hope to visit it one day 🤞 🚲

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

Obrigado Carlos :D Adoro chuva, e acho que vem aí mais!

[@tunde4472]

These videos... So satisfying to listen and hear. Don't know why but I'm subscribing!

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

XD thank you !

[@tunde4472]

Yeah mane. All the luck!

[@ddmte]

2:34 I work right by that window, music was blasting that day. Couldn't do nothing all day, tks Joana

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

ahaha :P

[@ElliotFlowers]

Renault 4. What a great car.

[@achim8239]

Absolutely. I owned one, years ago.

[@sifatmannan8724]

this guy is amazing love all of his videos keep it up man, love from lisbon

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

:) Thank you Sifat, I'm glad you have a good time.

[@keithcummings691]

Eye's up no fear! Everyday we ride! Yes sir Mr Miguel I believe that's our best safety measure.

[@sarahweir2723]

Thank you for that little tour x

[@gjapan5]

Muito obrigado pelos seus videos assim conheço um pouco de Lisboa. abração .

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

Ora essa, obrigado eu

[@AlexandreMCunha]

5:17 Descobri esse local em fim de abril fazendo o percurso inverso. Também esbarrei com essa cena das faixas cicláveis que terminam no passeio e depois tem de se andar à procura onde continuam! Muito típico :(

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

hahahahah

[@normbradwell]

Eye contact is a dangerous misconception. Drivers aren't looking at us, but the traffic behind us. We should assume that we're invisible!

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

Invisible...you said it all.

[@siriosstar4789]

Jeesh, you have the patience of a saint!

[@joaoferreira-iz5qf]

Um dia destes devias de ir a Monsanto andar de bike. Vais ate ao miradouro de monsanto e tens uma vista expetacular de lisboa toda. Abraços.

[@ADELINODESousa]

Ele já lá esteve amigo. Entra no YT channel dele e verás!! Bem eu posso dizer que assim que fui ao channel dele já de lá não sai tão depressa, fiquei completamente vidrado nos videos dele hahaha!! Um bem haja amigo ✌

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

:D Está aqui a última vez que lá fui kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWqQfot-o7-fY9E

[@BeastGaming-wu1qc]

Awesome video

[@miguelrocamoravalenti3837]

I love your channel bro

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

;) Gracias

[@leilablue5979]

2:43 that was so cute

[@Rafael_Gomes]

Wow! This was a pretty long video for what's usual from you, but it was still interesting and entertaining all the way through! ;)

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

I know XD I should have made it shorter. Obrigado!

[@juleskermoal3246]

Greetings from France

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

Merci PapyOP !

[@sandugabriel1616]

I love your videos ! I wish i could film in trafic but i don't have a action camera yet . :)

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

Thank you Gabriel!

[@campevergreen777]

I wish we had more bike lanes in Calgary, Canada. We have lots downtown but getting from the outer edge of the city to downtown is not the safest. There are roads that are just plain scary and unsafe to use and many bike paths have been planned for a long time but have not been developed yet. People have a fuss over any sort of bike development and thus it is delayed. Do you have any tips for a person who is just starting their bike commuting journey? I have recently subscribed and it was your videos that actually gave me the motivation to try biking as commuting rather than just for leisure.

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

Canada..uau, what a country! I'm glad you are going to cycle again. Be super aware of your surroundings, sounds, people, don't get yourself super confortable, keep a safe distance from the sidewalk and car parked doors and make the necessary signs with your arms. The rest you will figure it out. Don't forget about the traffic rules. Good luck Stackz :D

[@tinou18]

You have so many bike lane in lisbon ! In france we have 2 or 3 bikes lane on all the country i think 🤣

[@Module79L]

What are you talking about? When I was in Paris in 2013 there were bike lanes everywhere. One time, near the Gare du Nord, I was waiting for the green light to cross the street and another pedestrian pulled me back because I was standing in the bike lane and there was a group of "furious" cyclists approaching rapidly. :D

[@Palmieres]

That's odd. I was in Paris back in 2008 and rode one of those free city-bikes in some of the most traffic heavy areas and, since we were in the bike lanes we were fine, despite all the traffic. It was great because we had very little to spend and instead of using the metro to move around, we got to save money while sightseeing :)

[@tinou18]

Module79L idk i don't live in Paris But in toulouse we don't have so many bike lane , i was thiking the same thing for paris , i never visited paris ^^

[@Module79L]

palmieres, that was exactly the idea I got from Paris: there were so many cyclists riding around everywhere because the infrastructure was so good. : )

[@SurlyRider2019]

Here in Los Angeles it’s very hard to have visual contact because so many have blacked out windows.

[@anamacedo3912]

I love your videos, thank you. About the bike lane at 3'52'', the stretch at the other side of Av. Roma is the stupidest I've seen in Lisbon so far. There is still a sidewalk for people, but at the entrance for the train station, only the bike lane exists, cutting the pavement. I think it is ridiculous that a person has to stop to see if there is a ciclist coming to continue his/her track. It's another reason, at least in that street, for me to walk on the bike lane, as I already don't like the portuguese pavement. The stretch that you took is not so interesting for the pedestrian, although I suppose that near the hotel there is much confusion in the sidewalk because of cars/bus or probably - another problem of Portugal - holes in the sidewalk. I don't agree that bike lanes are constructed to steal space for people to walk. I do however that ciclists be able to ride on the streets, and actually the ideal would be to remove the parking slots in some places...it would make a whole difference. It is already like this in german cities. Don't tell me that they had their cities devastated and were reconstructed...the place where I did my Erasmus didn't have any parking slot on streets like Av. Berna, and streets where the bus goes by, like in Belém, which I think everyone agrees that is a confusion everyday.

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

Thank you Ana! I totally agree with you.

[@AlwaysRM_]

Lissabon needs to upgrade to the Dutch style of bike lanes!

[@bbblackship309]

Congratulations for 29K 😘😘 keep pedaling

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

Obrigado :D

[@darioscosta]

Adoro as explosões!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@TegFilatov]

Contact! Humans interactions yes! One gib reason loving cycling, easy communication with others.

[@win_failure]

I am the 29,100 subscriber. 30K coming soon mate.

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

;) Thank you Aditya R

[@CL4SSiCS]

I subscribed to your channel wish you luck to 30k subscribers

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

ahaha Thank you !

[@Module79L]

2:35 - I bet it's one of Joana Vasconcelos' pieces. ; ) 4:45 - You could've walked... ; )

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

It is form Joana's ahah I know...I wanted to show the irony of the type of bike lanes we have.

[@MrPessegos]

Penso que um pequeno clip de um dos teus videos aparece num "anuncio" da Ford sobre prevenção rodoviária com biciclistas. O video chama-se "It’s Time to Share The Road, Now"

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

É verdade, eu dei-lhes permissão.

[@mybluebelly]

I can ride through my own city in 1 minute doing full speed ahead (Aalesund, Norway) Here there are no bikelanes, so it`s easier to get around since nobody is expecting bicycles. Cars (& the people inside them) are very careful towards pedestrians and always stop for people crossing. The best way to get around in this city at least is use full blast and be out of the way as asap as possible.

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

Aalesund...uau, I do want to bike in Norway. What a dream!

[@mybluebelly]

Well don`t come here. We are one of the worst cities for bikes since there is a total lack of bicycle lanes. I may live in the most beautiful city in Norway but it is not a good bicycle city. Trondheim, Stavanger or Oslo is probably better. Cheers and keep up the fun videos :)

[@TheMiningSock]

30k soon!

[@MeenakshiDutta-cu5vi]

We have Uber eats here too, however the indigenous swiggy rules in food delivery

[@minecrafter9099]

Contribuis para o projeto mapillary ou openstreetcam? visto que andas de bike por todos os cantos de lisboa devias dar uma vista de olhos nesses projetos, Bons videos :)

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

Não, mas vou ver o que é isso. Obrigado!

[@Atasuke10]

It's so weird to see your hand gestures sometimes because here the one where you lift your arm and your palm is facing to the side signifies complaining :D

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

ahahahah

[@Im_Ezic]

What gloves do you use?

[@user-lz1wr4uq6f]

I have a question that i would like it to be answered.Do you make these vids while going to work or somewhere or when you are having free time? By the way Im from Greece and here there are no lines or signs for bikes and thats why I really like your vids cuz I see how things work in other countries

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

90% while I'm commuting to college, friend's house, cinema..yes. You're welcome.

[@UselessGTAV]

you're fucking amazing

[@enterestado]

Videos muito bacanos ;) Sou de perto e mesmo assim vou conhecendo Lisboa melhor haha

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

[@TheTusto]

[@TheTusto]

[@ShubhamayBarman]

Another nice video

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

:)

[@macelvysa]

Olá! Qual é o vídeo em que mostras uma série de carros em 2ª fila e na faixa de Bus? estão parados uns atrás dos outros numa avenida. Não me lembro quando vi o vídeo e agora não estou a encontrá-lo x) Gostaria de mostrar isso a um amigo. Obrigada.

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

Foi filmado em Miraflores se bem me lembro. Mas honestamente já não me lembro onde pára :/ Ainda na semana passada passei por lá e o cenário é o mantém-se hah Fica aqui : www.google.pt/maps/@38.7145527,-9.227601,3a,75y,306.25h,90t/data=!3m5!1e1!3m3!1s4rIZBL_Rbb-JviQHVBsQvg!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo1.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3D4rIZBL_Rbb-JviQHVBsQvg%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dsearch.TACTILE.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D96%26h%3D64%26yaw%3D306.25333%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100

[@macelvysa]

Obrigada :) fui procurar de novo e encontrei: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6vYZ3ybjK-KkK8

[@andreicrupa9212]

Nice bike lanes. In Iaşi, Romania, all the bike lanes are something drawn on the sidewalk.

[@moritzwolle2141]

Negativ_Ro Channel And end most of the time on the sidewalk. And driving on the street is not really a save option in Romania.

[@andreicrupa9212]

Moritz Wolle Yes, but it will encourage the notority of cyclists

[@moritzwolle2141]

Negativ_Ro Channel I am driving on the street, but it is not even close to relaxing. You have to pay attention all the time, especially for dors.

[@JustActCoolKid]

9:18 demonitized 😂😂😂

[@Rafael_Gomes]

XD KZbin bots have no sense of art...

[@MeenakshiDutta-cu5vi]

Jeez

[@lcsfgnds]

qual é a sua bicicleta? brasileiro aqui

[@TMGuijt]

I really can't understand. Why would someone design a bikelane that ends into nothing?

[@mememaster1663]

0:9 boiiiiiiiii

[@AdityaMcCartney]

Right

[@deividhere]

Does anyone know what car is the white one in the beginning?

[@ChiefAlegre]

[@samuelpedropereiracoelho6937]

Why you don't speak in Portuguese too ?

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

I do

[@erdmannelchen8829]

Why are there so many of these black cars with green roofs to see in your videos?

[@ChiefAlegre]

That's the compulsory color scheme for taxis in Portugal. There's an ugly beige tone which is also used. And in the Madeira archipelago, they are a bright yellow. :)

[@erdmannelchen8829]

In Germany all Taxis are in that Beige tone.

[@onecyclistinlisbon]

:D taxis yup
