If you ever go down the blvd, be careful around 45th street down. I think on 40th or so, right after burger king, there's a row of potholes about a block long and sometimes a foot deep. Drafting behind minivans is the best cause most of the time you can see right through the car at eye level and anticipate things coming.

No, I meant the service road after 49th Street (from 49th street all the way into Queens... not towards Manhattan)... I always take either Skillman Ave. or 43rd Ave. between Queensboro Bridge & 49th.

For the most part I ride like this in the city, without cutting cars off. The only thing that freaks me out about that video is the last scene where the guy riding clipless has his feet unclipped going down the bridge.. wouldn't he be speeding up pretty quickly? How would you think he clipped back in?

i love watching these vids. I ride pretty agressive, but i still hold back and play it safe. I always try to remember that there's a lot of fun to riding in city traffic on a fixed and maybe that's b/c of the risk, but i hold back because i don't see a point to dying for a bit of fun.

I have a feeling he's using his shoes as brakes on the front wheel actually.
