It's interesting how every vehicle is going at a fast walking pace. Cable cars, horse wagons, cars, bikes, pedestrians. So they all just make their own path. (A few cars near the end are speeders, going 15 or 20 mph)
Modern bicyclists would be way too fast for this road. But maybe the cobblestones would slow them down to match everyone else.
This video is well known all over the world and was a feature news article. One person actually spend months reading newspapers on microfilm to find out who made that film. It was a good story.
You'll notice how even in 1906, the motorist were out of control making the streets dangerous for everyone. It seems like things never change.
Those of us who are carfree are living life similar to that video in 2015.
