Brooklyn's Dangerous Cycling Bridges
Brooklyn has three bridges that connect to manhattan. These are my thoughts on why some are more dangerous than others for cycling. Become a GX channel member to unlock early uploads, and extended members cuts: / @terryb

Thanks for the video, Terry, love the cycling guide format! Riding on the Manhattan bridge feels like riding on the sidewalk because of the bumps. It's paved like a sidewalk and not asphalt. Also, the exit into Manhattan has some sharp corners on a steep decent, could be fun or risky

@justkidding57 2 жыл бұрын

The exit on the Brooklyn side has a sandy patch on a steep turn. I always have to go extra slow cause there is absolutely zero traction

loved this video, very nostalgic! I remember riding all 3 of these bridges living in NY when I was younger riding bmx and for me, bklyn bridge 👎 but sometimes fun being dangerous! I liked Williams because of the space and not too much traffic and it was a scenic ride just to get to it and I LOVED coming across the Manhattan at night!

@foodbag312 2 жыл бұрын

Love the video. I grew up in the city and this makes me really nostalgic. When I visited not too long ago my friend and I crossed the Brooklyn, Manhattan, Williamsburg, and queensboro bridges in one go, amazing day. I actually found the Williamsburg bridge the most fun because there was so much life on it. People using niche modes of transit, it almost felt like a fashion show. Commuter-wise I agree Manhattan is the best and what I actually used on a day to day basis. The Brooklyn bridge was absolute hell and made me want to throw every tourist off of it, the new path is a huge improvement event if it’s shit.

appreciate u for making this video, i dont live nowhere near the US. this feels a little bit of a tour guide for cyclists around the world we're basically explorers as bicyclists, and seeing new places that arent familiar to us with context gives us context on how other cities should improve their bike laws or bike lanes or anything bike related within the city. i live in poverty, so we're not fortunate enough to have certain bike lane barriers like yours and other fortunate cities. basically risking our lives commuting.

i commuted BK bridge for years. I loved riding across the top. The mornings were never crowded. I will always treasure those early commutes into Manhattan. Coming home was another story, usually I was on east side by end of the day so would take Wburg back. Incredible what they've done to the landing in Manhattan. Nice vid, love to see the updates. - former Brooklyner

Very interesting and informative Terry. The local authority here in Galway, Ireland recently endeavoured to create a temporary cycle lane by our sea front. It was shot down due to an enormous adverse reaction from locals who feared a potential future without the motor car dominating our habitat. Kudos to your city planners

Amazing footage! thank you for uploading. As a person who commuted bicycle 26 miles RT 3x a week for about 30 years (SOCAL), I would merely add for collective benefit- Ears are a very complex system, lots of small parts, hard to access! Damage done today often does not show itself until 30 years later! Due to riding right shoulder with cagers whooshing past me for 30 years. I have tinnitus in the left ear. I find when I put a ear plug in on that side, it helps reduce further impacts and does not excessively hamper ability to sense left side threats. Your ride is big time urban combat stuff! Makes me want to visit NYC to go riding! Extra tubes and hard case tires , and max head on swivel time.

I lived in Bushwick over 10 years ago and rode the Willyburg bridge both ways on the regular. Only ever tried Manhattan or Brooklyn once or twice on a lark, as they weren't useful for my commute to Union Square. Totally agree on the hectic exit at Delancy too, and I can't believe they haven't worked it out yet! Miss that ride all the same!

Those of us in The Bay, can somewhat relate to the challenges, and cool sites seen, in regards to commuting on bike in, and about the city. You seem like a down to earth guy who loves to cycle, people, and his town. We're looking forward to more videos from you. Btw, excellent music selections too. Good job.

Technically, you're not allowed to ride the Triborough bridge, you're supposed to dismount and walk, not that many do. . In addition to the stairs, it's also really narrow. I have heard of people getting ticketed for riding, it never hurts keep on eye out to be on the safe side.
