Neat. If I weren't directly opposed to going anywhere east of the Rockies I'd think New York would be fun to ride in.

Might I just ask, how long it took you to get there in total?
Also, you nearly hit 5 people in one ride. You suck.

sighh... what is with the negative comments?
the point is that almost is better than actually hitting
and dang dude, you make me miss new york so much.
I'm in middle america at uiuc but its nice here. Less things that want to run a biker over. Plus the drivers here yield to bikers
and less theft. haha

you are a really clumsy rider.
Protip: if you are going to run through a ped xing, at least pick a straight line to go in. Also, it's best to try and go BEHIND people who are walking (this goes for cars, too). If you try and go in front of them, you will have one of those awkward interactions.
Also, can we get some music that's not stale and crusty like the thai food in my fridge...?

Looks awesome. I'd love to do that with my friends sometimes.
And yea, i agree with PedallingATX, dont slow down and make awkward decisions infront of pedestrians. Just keep a steady pace and go behind them as you say sorry.

Gonna be ridin down the Blvd of Death in a couple of hours to LongIslandCity.
Oh cant see the vid (I dont do FACEBOOK!!! YUP!!!).
I usually try to pass crossing Peds from behind but this one time
I guess I seemed to be going really fast to him, the dude freezes and STEPS BACKWARDS
I slam on the Front and do a mini ENDO maybe 12" right in front of him, land back on my rear and pedal off looking back and shaking my fist (I sped off cuz the dude looked like he was gonna pull out a knife to stab my ass with, Ah NYC!)
