Impossible, even if there were no traffic at all. It would mean averaging 35 mph, at least.

"Of course, the title says ""how NOT to ride"" while in fact the video glorifies the sort of dangerous(to the rider and to others) and irresponsible behavior that gives all cyclists a bad name. How popular would the video have been if he'd slipped under a bus, or hit a pedestrian who was legally crossing the street? ""But he didn't..."" isn't good enough for me. Then again, I have been called a buzzkill before.

Give me handsignals, proper vehicle-like behavior in traffic, smiles and acknowledgement of drivers, and open roads OUT of NYC on which to be a commando.

Soundtrack good though.

i'm sorry - the dubbed (read:incorrect) soundtrack is about the least 'cool' thing imaginable.
