Kinda like that except without the handle bar thing.


Or the pants.

obviously bike commuting should be done at the speed of walking, with more consideration.


I totally agree with the dude that said you should have your bike impounded if you travel faster than him! He's the median speed by which all others should be judged. So sayeth the shepherd!

The sarcasm doesn't really do much for your argument. It actually makes people sound really stupid.

True. So do blanket statements of X.

I like blankets.

Come on, this is an alley cat, not a commute. None of you have ever done an alley cat? Pity, they are a blast - if you live. :D

I rather like living. I'll skip the alley cat.

To attach the word "commuting" to this video, the OP is either trolling, or very new to commuting by bicycle. I seldom see anything close to this type of cycling behavior in my many travels around my city, and if I do, it's never the same cyclist.

There are the bold, there are the old, but there are very, very few that are old and bold.

Even as a bike messenger in the mid 80s I never rode like that. It's flat out reckless, disrespectful and dangerous to more than just the cyclists taking the risks. If you want to race then go enter an organized/sanctioned race, otherwise use public roads and paths legally and with respect for others.
