This kind of behaviour really undercuts our argument against aggressive drivers. BTW I did a search could find this vid if it's already been posted mods please yank this thread.

WOW... that was some serious traffic violations ;) I'm amazed one of them didn't get squashed. But, you have to admit, they had some serious bike handling skills. I assume they're messengers?

To be honest, i don't agree with you about "behaviour really undercuts our argument against aggressive drivers".

That's Manhattan, not the US.

Different kettle of fish altogther. That's the way i rode when i lived there. You pretty much have to ride that way if you wanted to survive, considering all of the psycho taxi drivers, idiotic fat @ss tourists, Hasidim in yellow school buses, and yuppies not looking as the cross streets yelling 'buy, buy, sell, sell!!!' :)

btw - what's a cager?

I've seen another vid by these guys. Seems whoever makes it is, like me, a Judas Priest fan! :)

Enthalpic 03-20-06 01:37 PM

Notice it's more about how stupid / crazy they are, than it is about power output etc.

Then we have Pedex talk about how he is pro...

A cager is someone who's riding/driving a car. A car is aka a "cage".

johnMfisk 03-20-06 04:35 PM

WOW... these guys are NUTS!

somebody buy these guys helmets, or at least get them tissue-typed so we harvest organs after the bus smushes 'em :EEK:

crackerjab 03-20-06 04:59 PM

That makes me want to get a helmet cam.

CastIron 03-20-06 05:39 PM

Sylvoid's commuter helmet cam?

caloso 03-20-06 05:50 PM

Everytime I see that video my sphincter tightens.

mrkott3r 03-20-06 05:50 PM

they are great vids, but have been posted many times. See how a lot of them are on fg bikes.
I love how the peds react though to the cyclists, no abuse! they just get out of the way

Go ride with pedex for a while. Let me know how you do.

twahl 03-20-06 06:04 PM

I thought it was because we want to be called "cyclists" but some of us insist on referring to motorists as "cagers". :rolleyes:

Oh wait...it's a sympathy term, it's the same as calling fish in a tank "tankers" or more like calling hamsters "cagers," cause we feel sorry for them for being stuck in those cages, right?

Sorry, I just hate the term, and hypocrisy.

rvabiker 03-20-06 06:10 PM

I bet they'd get honked at, flicked off, **** thrown at them etc. more if they obeyed the laws, stopped at lights and rode in the center of the lane.

SunFlower 03-20-06 06:13 PM

are those guys high on something ?

In Manhattan, drivers hate cabbies and peds more than they hate cyclists.

CycleAloha 03-21-06 12:52 AM

I've seen these vids too and I think they are complete morons and would love to see one of them get smacked by a car and then have to pay for the damage they did to the car b/c their dumba$$ ran a red light...and if they grabbed my car like that I'd like to give them a ride they'd forget....totally stupid. Just my opinion!!!!
