Not Riding in the Bike Lane

POST 152
Friday, June 10, 2011

So yesterday my sweetie came home from the hospital on crutches after she and her bike had an encounter with a truck in a Manhattan bike lane. No broken bones, but thanks for asking. Then later in the day Daniel Wallace, game designer and former student, sent me this video.

Those who know me well know that I am a torn creature, with at least a tri-polar split between politics, would-be athleticism, and all this goofy comedy stuff. For example, I like to bike all over NYC and all over the world, I try to advocate for the environment, and I’ve always enjoyed comedy cycling….. but how to combine all three?

Don’t ask me, ask Casey Neistat, because that’s exactly what he did in this cool video, which I am happy to see is already going viral on YouTube.

Ouch!
