My outlaw commuting video!
 
Inspired by the excellent @JoeyBike series, I decided to make my own outlaw commuting video.

There is a bit of cursing in it, so please protect your younglings. Also, if you are one of those A&S people, this may be too much for you. :lol:

Enjoy!

LOL. You'd be more aero with drops though. And maybe a bell next time so you don't have to get into it with those pedestrians.

How long does it usually take you to get to work? Or do you ever actually make it?

JoeyBike 12-09-14 11:16 AM

I am a little more civil to the hookers and cops, but not too far off. Except that motorized traffic seems to be actually looking out for you at times. That's pretty far fetched.

Can you dial up a 5pm rush hour scenario? Maybe get on the freeway for a while during gridlock?

If only real vehicular traffic moved that predictably...

Just the video I needed to see as I head out to a boring meeting :)

dude. hand signals. sheesh.

joeyduck 12-09-14 01:53 PM

It was fun. But I was hoping for another real life video.

that chic that said "hey you" sounded cute. you give her a look-back? that was hysterical especially the perpetual salmoning. but that white on black anti-pedestrian run-overs ... hmmm me-thinks not-cool yo. but that was really impressive and very well done. you got me to laugh out loud when you out smarted & fliped off the fuzz. loved the cliff jump but was that you shooting? not cool. so weird

Yeah motorcycles are really the way to go for the freeways... you feel like a neutrino getting across the city... but that wouldn't have belonged here.

So funny! It took me a good many seconds to realize it wasn't a real video! I was busy trying figure out why you had no brake levers -- fixie or coaster?

I was referring to getting on the freeway with your virtual bicycle. Could you do it? Maybe see how many cars would pile up if nothing else.

Ahh yeah that's doable... I'll try it and see what happens.

Kinda tame, really. I was hoping to see you hanging on to a car for some crazy high speed action. At least you got in some time on the sidewalks. Also, try adding in a little Airzound to make the peds jump a little more.

Mr. Hairy Legs 12-10-14 10:19 PM

You can mess things up pretty good:

Up in the hills near the parks you can find super crazy road bikes. :D

Dang, you only got 2 stars on that run? :P GTA V I presume? Is that some kind of mod for riding bicycles or is that built into the game?

I was also pretty impressed how it actually looked like you were slowing down when going up hills and stuff. The realism is crazy sometimes!

Yeah, the newest version for the latest consoles has first person mode which is a hoot. I suppose at some point I should actually try to play the game as opposed to dicking around on a squeaky bicycle... :p

They need a paddle boat... :D

I like how the bike rider can clearly hear the shouting from the cars.

I prefer public transportation. It's much more relaxing:
