Guy on a bike gets harassed in Brooklyn

[kevenmayne]

Is it a black dude they're messing with? Can't watch video right now.

On the issue of bike lanes in New York City:



Apparently things are even worse in the Hasidic communities:

[black migo]

Dude on the bike looking for attention, trolling jews with a camera on you

 

[moonman818]

Honestly people on bikes **** up traffic for everyone...

For some reason they feel they have the right to ride in the middle of the street and not stop at a ****** stop sign

 

[ryda421]

they should roll 100 deep through those neighborhoods


edit:

don't bicyclists have the same rights to the roads as all other vehicles ?

1. It's illegal to ride bikes on the sidewalk in NYC? That's sincerely news to me; never knew. I guess I could see why it would be an issue in the city, given all the traffic. But in this situation, bike brah should've given the sidewalk serious consideration especially when him riding on an already diminished street creates a traffic problem.

2. You're not in a position to decide whether bike brah's ride-- IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AT HIS LEISURE PACE-- was inconsequential to Jew brah's time. The fact is, bike brah was riding in the middle of the street very slowly, to the point where Jew brah felt compelled to overtake him by dangerously driving into incoming traffic--not once, not twice, but three times. This is where the problem started.

Like I said, dude could have easily shifted to the sidewalk, which looked mighty empty, but he obviously had his own motives--to get street view footage with his go-pro (because clearly, capturing footage while riding on the sidewalk isn't as exciting), much to the chagrin of the driver(s) behind him, while creating an unsafe traffic environment.

[ksteezy]

Yes it is illegal to ride on the sidewalk, been illegal for a looooooong time...caught a summons once for that.

i get what you are saying but if jew brah was a in a hurry he wouldnt have PARKED his car in the middle of the street and pump his chest while calling his boys

 

[asianplayer]

I would have hated to drive behind the biker, but once I got the chance to pass, it should have ended there. This driver repeatedly keeps getting in front of the biker trying to escalate the situation. Not sure of the traffic laws regarding bikers up there, but didn't really see much of a bike lane on that road so I'm guessing the biker is allowed to ride in the middle of the road .

...

So the guy in the van gets mad at the cyclist for slowing traffic.... and then proceeds to park his van in the middle of the road further impeding the flow of traffic.

Jerkoff didnt even have his hazard lights on

1. Yeah - it's illegal. It's also more unsafe for pedestrians to have bikes on sidewalks than it is for drivers to have them in the streets.
2. His pace didn't seem that slow to me, but I feel like that's not that big of a deal. Furthermore, as another poster wrote, the guy clearly isn't really in a hurry if he decides to stop his car to harass the biker. To me, that's evidence that his time isn't much of an issue here.
On the over-taking issue - you do realize that van brah (not to be confused with http://www.youtube.com/user/brofitnesschannel) passed the guy and then immediately slowed his van down to instigate a confrontation. If he wanted to he could have just passed him once and went about his day.
On the Go-pro point, many bike commuters use Go-pros not for street footage but to have some recourse against harassment from drivers. They wear them for situations like this. It's similar to how Russian drivers all use dash-cams in case they get in accidents.

In short, you're fighting a losing argument brah.

they should roll 100 deep through those neighborhoods


edit:

don't bicyclists have the same rights to the roads as all other vehicles ?

Yes.

I mean, the same nonsense three times? i'd imagine common sense had been replaced with equal parts frustration and rage by then.

And as has been posted, these "people" act and feel like they own neighborhood. Thus is it difficult to imagine Jew brah feeling the need to display and assert his power in his territory?

LIke I said, it's a shameful situation all around; one that could've been easily avoided.

[Johnny_Cakes]

Look, since it's illegal to ride your bike on the sidewalk in NYC then you have no choice but to respect that. How can you ask the bicyclist to ride on the sidewalk and risk a ticket simply because you want to to get somewhere faster? If someone told me that I'd laugh right in there face, the nerve.

Dude - watch the video. The van purposefully slowed down after passing the biker. If he had continued at a normal pace after passing the biker there wouldn't have been any future conflict.
Have you had a bad experience with a bicyclist that's clouding your judgement?

i agree both parties are at fault. but the bicyclists did the less of the provoking. the car was not letting the bike pass on purpose which is when the bicyclist tapped the car. after that is when most of the blame should go to the jew brah.

 

[Thats My Word]

The driver should have crossed the double solid, pass the biker, and go about his way. Both parties wanted confrontation. ;lol SMH

 

[markangelo]

did anyone catch what that lil kid was saying in the suv? 

sounded like lil man was pissed

Not a fantasy. There is a reason why most nonsense comes out of the NY area.

Relative to a moving car, for sure his pace was slow.

When he stops his car, following the THIRD pass by, it's obvious that the situation has escalated and common sense has been abandoned. So of course, by then, "time" is the least of Jew brah's concerns.

Watch the video again. Three times-- Jew brah passed bike brah. If Jew brah wanted to instigate a confrontation, why wait until after the third time? Why did he give the biker room to move on following the first and second run-ins?

At 2:28--2:30 Jew brah tells the biker, "you don't ride in the MIDDLE of the street."

2:06-2:09: "You're not allowed to [ride] in the middle of the street"---FACT

From 41-1:00 bike brah literallly swerves in front, directly in front of Jew brah, BACK INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET!!!

That's the real and only issue here^^^

The fact that the biker felt the need to own the entire street by riding in the middle--which we can clearly see. And in doing so, completely disregarded vehicles behind him, and to some extent, endangered lives--his and traffic behind him.

As I already pointed out in my first post in this thread, the Jewish brah had no right to detain the biker, but let's not pretend like fault belongs entirely to the former. The guy riding on the bike is equally at fault if not more.

At the end of the day, the biker could've easily avoided the entire situation by maneuvering on to the side walk. Yes that big empty sidewalk...even prior to the **** hitting the fan. And you and I both know that he would not have had an issue with the law had he maneuvered on there for like 10 mins. I've ridden a bike plenty of time on the sidewalks of NY and have never had or heard an issue (that's why it was a surprise to me when the legality of doing so was even brought up). Cops aint patrolling sidewalk looking to fine folks riding their bikes there, least not for 5-10 minutes.

He really could've have avoided the entire situation, and anyone with common sense can see and acknowledge this.

Instead, he stops, waits for the Jewish man to get out of his car, and proceeds to taunt--"what are you doing; you gonna hit me; you gonna hit me!!!" That alone, was escalating the situation. Meanwhile, that huge empty sidewalk was there...the very same one that is very much open to a bike and not to a 16 foot long, 10 feet wide SUV.

But let's disregard all of that and absolve bike brah of both common sense and responsibility...

So now he's expected to break the law?  Nah, papi.

§ 19-176 - Bicycles operation on sidewalks prohibited

Bicycles ridden on sidewalks may be confiscated and riders may be subject to legal sanctions. See also N.Y.C. Traffic Rules and Regulations §4-07 (c).

§ 1231 - Traffic Laws Applicable to Persons Riding Bicycles

Bicyclists are granted all rights and subject to all duties applicable to operator of vehicle except where not applicable.

 

[holocharizard]

 
Hats is piff.

Jewish dude wanted bike dude to get physical.

I hate bike riders that drive on the street. FOH.

I never understood why people say this. It is illegal to ride on the sidewalk, I have been personally ticketed for it. If we can't ride on the sidewalk and you don't want us in the street where should we ride?

Hmmm...let's consider the situation and evaluate our options.

Situation:

I'm on a bike and I have a driver who supposedly is looking to start trouble with me. I am on a little bike, with very little protection; meanwhile this guy is in control of a vehicle that could easily be in the neighborhood of a ton, and he's being--supposedly--antagonistic with it, toward me.


Option A:
Let me disregard both my well being and common sense, and stay in the immediate vicinity of the supposed threat--the street-- because the law forbids me to ride onto the sidewalk, however temporary the excursion is...

or

Option B:
Let me value my life, because that's common sense and logical, and get my @-$-$ out of that dangerous situation, by hopping onto that sidewalk and peddling away for 10-20 mins-- even if it means breaking the law.



Hmmm...what to do...corporal safety...or the NYPDs silly law...real tough choice...

LIke I said, bike brah could've easily made the situation a non-happen by bouncing onto that sidewalk, and peddling away for 5-10 mins.

In the event the NYPD stops him and tries to give him a hard about riding on the sidewalk, well he has footage from his Go-Pro to justify his action, right?
