Living in the city makes it easy to forget how powerful nature can be. Lake Michigan keeps (the wise ones) humble.

Absolutely amazing that people have a vehicle in hand that can go much faster than running and they still walk their bikes instead pedaling like heck!!

This just unlocked a memory... I remember watching this video a longgg time ago and I remember being super confused as to why the road suddenly went vertical

Amazing footage.

The guy really wants his bike back.

How stupid can people be? You see those waves coming at you yet you just keep on going towards danger.

So instead of calling 911, people call the TV news to film the impending disaster.

Why the fuck do these people continue to jog with waves being like that...

I was a biker commuting home one night (complete darkness) on a section further north on LSD during a similar storm. Wave came out of nowhere and knocked me off my bike. Never been so terrified in my life. I managed to get back to my feet and get to safety. They would have never found my body if I had gotten dragged out.I learned a big lesson that night.

Just why risk it? It's just not worth it. Find another way around for your own sake.

I could watch this all day... didn't realise so many people thought they were untouchable though.

Amazing that a lake can kick up wave heights just as high as the ocean can. I mean I knew they could given their size, but it still strikes me knowing these lakes have taken large cargo ships in its time.

Sense is not as common as we think it is.

Lol guy on bike is like fuck the weather! he don't give a damn about danger lmao he just continue his day

Honestly, living in and being from Michigan I know never to go near a Great Lake while it's got large waves. The people here are just beyond ignorant and I'm surprised that they weren't smart enough to stay away. The current in Lake Michigan when it's NOT sloshing around with 12 foot tall waves are incredibly strong, I can't even imagine what it's like when it is,

i rode through this probably 10 min before this footage on my way to school years ago, and the waves seemingly came out of nowhere, I did get soaked up to my knees but just kept on riding. explaining that to my professor was funny. wow good times.

If my bike was dragging me down I'd be like, "Well fuck that, I'm GONE."

that dude on the bike was really lucky

*QUICK! SOMEONE CALL BILL ENGVALL!* Bill Engvall: "HEEEERE'S YOUR SIGN."

The runner, on seeing the Lake on his pathway, "Errrr? NOPE! Imma going back this way!!"

1:43 that MOAN!!

People forget what a powerful force Lake Michigan can be....don't tempt her!

"Somebody got swept into the water and their computer was completely destroyed" Bummer, but that line made me laugh out loud

Oh look a big wave, I'll stand here and watch....... oh no my bike...... meh I'll just WALK away with my bike. Yeah, intelligent person.

I wonder if the first dude on the bike realized he almost died that morning ..

These people must be *obsessed* with exercise, if they're willing to risk the chances of being forcibly pulled-out by those waves (or else drowning/being smashed against the rocks); and they'd even put their dog's lives at risk! It's times like *this* where you have to use your head and think ; "What's worth the risk and what ISN'T worth the risk?" ... or you might regret it later on. 💭

lake shore drive gg2 awesome mix vol 2

I agree with everything you just said. Kudos, sir.

I like at 8:45 when Optimus Prime shows up to set things straight :)

The best part of this video is when there is no sound and people talking

really mate, i will keep this line alwz in heart.. its like a new moral to be added in my character.. :) i used to thought opposite.. but u opened a door of mercy n love .. thnx pal..

Right Theron, but the waves are entering the bike path where there is usually no water whatsoever. The waves off shore were 12 to 16 feet. The spot where he and the bike were almost swept in is a giant seawall which normally is several feet above the water surface. Make no mistake, that lake will drown you as fast or faster than any sea on earth.

What's really interesting is that before Buzz Killington disabled reading the statistics, it showed that this video was really popular in Pakistan. Why???

Wow. I don't know what to say. I'm just glad I can help!! :-)

hey very pure and gentle thoughts.. loved it.. rare to find in present time.. salute for you dear... :) you made me happy by posting this comment

Brilliant footage...Thanks N SEnforcer

8:42 why is there an 18 wheeler??

lol at the music, i'll be playing this on my speakers when the world ends haha

JUST..............................................INCREDIBLE VIDEO !!!

That's the BEST rep of that scene on the tube!!

Why the hell do people even keep going through there, they know the waves will hit them before they even get near it

Don't let fear and common sense stop you...

whoa I remember that day. That was some crazy weather!

its amazing to see how the waves get bigger only when people try to cross.

So what I've learned from this is: apparently jogging and biking and in some instances dog walking, causes brain damage. There should be warnings to the public about this.

the part where the reporters stoped talking i put on the benny hill Theme xD omg im laughing my ass of xD

Spectacular image 👍

Thank you very much! I appreciate your comment as well! :-)

I am from the great lakes. Tell me again how these are not considered inland seas? lol

I'm invinnnnceeeeeeeeebaaaaaaaalgurblegurble (wave splash upon head) - loss of bike

The music is so smooth. What a jazzy way to drown

it looks fun to bike through these waves

i cant understand why these people and bikers go there..they see the waves..... the lady with the dog?where are you going??save your lives people,don t play with water and nature,even if you think you are good at these 2 and you are not going to be hurt..you are people against water,you never know what water can do.

been on lk Michigan many times do not like when its rough

*bicyclist* yeah I go out of my way to ride in the waves It's a great way to stay in shape

Chicago is beautiful, I've lived here since I was eight, I like it here better than North Carolina and Georgia. This city is amazing, and the lake is amazing in the summer.

1:43 she having a orgasm

Were the police and authorities asleep? It should NOT need a TV crew to draw attention to dangerous sea conditions! The coast road should have been closed immediately!

best video ever! how do you stop watching?

I grew up in Chicago, this is nothing new. The Great Lakes, particularly Lake Michigan is KNOWN for sudden, violent storms like this.

Would of been more impressive if the footage was from ground level.

Haha Did no one notice the wise man walking along the top of the wall/barrier at 3:34

I remember watching this live. So suspenseful.

Ran & biked along this route when lived in Chi-town...sometimes the lake interacted with me but never like this - quite the high vantage point!

1:42 pornstar moan right there xD

Relax folks, this is fun and games for people who live next to big water. Newscasters live very sheltered lives and are programmed to be blown away by any little thing. An occasional big one smacks the wall, but otherwise, it's not as bad as it looks. I promise you the cyclists @6:47 are laughing like little kids.

If i was there i would like "

Best, can not stop the nature.

1:44 a moan

why is every commentator on Faux so stupid???

What people viewing this don't know if they've never been on this stretch... is that the path is sloped... downward... towards the lake (obviously for drainage). Turns the path into one huge waterslide straight into the lake.

I got recommended after 9 years ...

It looks fun, actually. The worst that happens is that people get a little wet, or dunked, or go swimming. Big deal. Let people make their own decisions. We don't need the media or government telling us what to do. If you think it is too dangerous then don't go there, you don't need to become mega mommy.

I swear the people who turned around and ran back are smart ones. Not the ones who ride and walk through the waves. The hazard of this is getting swept out or drowning.

this dude is good for his bike like seriously

This video is very entertaining to watch.

Yeah I was running through that spot, and not when this video was made. I can say I underestimated the wave. I didn't fall like the guy on the bike but the water did soak me up to my knees. The police really should shut that path down.A.S.A.P. and especially that spot after North Ave.

i didnt know michigan had waters that way at lake michigan ever!! seen this now the things we didnt know from before

I got a photo on the evening news showing the lake churning up as seen from the 95th floor of the John Hancock. That was the effect from Sandy.

Looks like they are having fun

What a blast! Have fun but leave your computer in the condo and don't get swept away. Equip yourself with a personal flotation device, and one for your dog as well if you are bringing them along.

So after many horrific deaths and millions of lives being put in danger, the liberty to walk or ride a bike was taken away under the guise of safety. The lesson is we must never allow people to make their own choices, but ultimately let those far wiser make our choices for us. Thank God

i live in wisconsin. i totally remember this. btw i go to lake michigan a lot.

0:50 he's thinking "Oh crap ! " RUN !!!!! xD

Hey those lakes bring down great big ships. So the waves do get very big. I'm not talking about old ships but modern. Just take a look at the bottom of the lakes.

That looks like alot of fun

Now this is reality TV. Incredible.

I found myself rooting for the waves. Yeah water!

That looks like fun!

I was still living there then. How come I don't remember this??

0:52 smartest guy walking there lol

Fun to watch!

i enjoyed watching them too, yet i also wished i was one of them, looked fun.

"Swept over the wall into the swimming lanes"......................Freud at Work! @ 2:01

You will learn some things in the future! God bless you...

It must be much fun to live in the US, they have tidal waves, dust storms, earthquakes, several tornados, snow storms, etc. There's none of those in my country.

.........................slick video

I ride there all the time. Been hit by plenty of waves. Man up. Ride through it.

how can you say that! it's so beautiful there!

Why is a report continued? It should be prohibited from traffic immediately.
