I'll happily wear one if you want to send me one for free Terry (wink wink hint hint). I'll even record a hotline (well maybe lukewarmline) of me dodging Kangaroos on our local crit track.
Seems the Hotline shirts are sold out, so I bought a hoodie and shirt from Category Six. Love the series, they are astonishingly well done. Smart move to put the sound just on the rider, and the high, stabilized shooting gives the viewer a really good sense of why the rider is making the decisions they do. (I can't believe that, even with stabilization, Terry is able to keep the camera on the rider that consistently.) And I appreciated Erik apologizing to the pedestrians.
This is a really great lesson for me about gearing. I just changed up my first fixed gear from a 48/16 that came stock to 48/19 because there are a ton of hills where I live and I needed the help. My immediate impression was that my acceleration and braking was much faster but my top speed was a bit slower. Ironically, because of the extra speed control it offered me, I actually felt more comfortable riding faster on average. Anyway, when he said he was running 48/18, I thought "oh so he's not going to go as fast as some of the other guys I've seen on this channel". But this dude rips. He definitely uses the fast stopping and acceleration, but he was hauling ass at times when I thought he couldn't. It really is more about how you use it. Thanks for the vid as always Terry
Yeah it makes a lot of sense, because there are few opportunities to get max speed. In the other hand there are a lot of scenarios when you need to accelerate or brake, specially in my case where I actually stop in most red lights.
I love how these are not over edited and how there is no music, just raw cycling and the sounds of the city! These videos motivate me more then anything else👍
Just a comment: dangerous, yet amazing skills, rude to those around him, yet understands how to operate in NYC traffic, reckless yet great foresight, crazy yet looks like so much fun.
Mad skills! That's tops any type of ridding or driving and is the most intense! Can't imagine getting to that level without alot of crashing and broken bones.Thats absolutely the most uncontrolled environment to ride through and come out unscathed!
Thank you. This video reminded me of a late friend who was a courier in Brisbane Australia. Used to ride with him like this every chance I could get. I miss him so much watching this and shed a few tears remembering better times. Thanks so much. Keep up the great vids.
People say Bear Grylls' cameramen are more skilled than him for doing the same stunts while carrying loads of cameras. This video reminds me of the same, as the focus is on Erik, but the real star is the guy keeping up with him while filming him.
I think the reason I like these videos so much is that this is simply the best way to make your way through a big city like New York. What I mean by best is the cheapest and fastest, perhaps also the most impressive. I don't care if you're breaking laws, regardless, you'd be the victim of your own alleged stupidity, in most cases. What I'm trying to say is, I like what you do Terry, keep it up.
One of the most dense and sketch NYC hotlines I've seen. Erik Otto rides on the edge of control it seems, but I'm sure he is in control more than it shows on video. Another classic Terry!
This guy is lucky because he lives in US and car drivers are very disciplined here. If he tries the kind of behaviour in Russia he'll become a corpse in few minutes.
@@nernyr i was just in my hometown in mexico. (veracruz) and they are tons of people riding like this. it seems like people don't care... why? because evryone in mexico rides like an ass. including motorists.
Your videos are amazing. You film this like an art. IMO nobody is close to capturing the intensity of the riders, and situation like you do. We literally spent the last few nights binge watching your collection.
watching these guys i am really impressed. cadence is king. bike handling is off the charts. at about 13:30 in eric almost got impaled by steal rods hanging out the back of the truck. his bike handling again is amazing. he seems a little big for the bike he rides mainly the top tube but he makes it happen alot better than i could. good stuff !
I like so much the people that say "its not special, is a piece of garbage but... is my piece of garbage" "this bike isn't special but i have it for too long" THAT IS SPECIAL BRO...
It's interesting to see Erik and his lower gear ratio as a follow up cut to Mario. Very cool to see how gearing preference lends itself to different riding styles.
I really loved the vibe of this video! So calming with the mic on the front rider and all the single NYC sounds. It's like ASMR meets Messenger Bike Racing in really good quality. Really enjoyed the ride. This was pure beauty.
Wow! I don’t know how you do it? Such a great display of fearlessness reflexes and peripheral vision. I also don’t know who was more impressive you or the camera guy? Thanks for taking us along for your ride 🖖
Not sure how I missed this one but it was a damn good one. I’m sure others don’t agree. You guys shredded out there. Had me holding my breath the whole time.
Whom needs an amusement park when you have the whole city! Fantastic camera work! Great adrenaline ride as well! I believe it was a Colnago under all that old Paint! Thank's!!
Not to take away from his skill, but this is the norm for any rider who’s dealt with riding through Manhattan traffic. I tell people all the time how fun, and efficient travel by bike in NYC is. He went from Columbus Circle to lower Manhattan in about 15 minutes (over 50 blocks). Wasn’t even pushing it either.
These flow through NYC traffic bike videos are fucking absolutely amazing. Super chill, sound of the traffic, rider just absolutely killing reading everything around him and whoah.. Just fucking beautiful. I love it.
Lets be real here. If he followed all the traffic laws, it would be a boring snoose fest video. Nobody would watch a video of him standing with his bike waiting a full minute for the light to change green or him sitting behind a car stuck in bumper to bumper traffic. Right? We watch the "extreme" city bike ride or the mountain bike ride because of the dangerous risks. Risks that we wouldn't take because lack of skill and guts. I don't like zooming by a pedestrian on crosswalk or blowing a red light and just missing a car but I can still appreciate the skills and guts.
@Luis Barrios On the internet, "everyone can ride like him". In reality, you can never ride like him because of the danger and fear factor that would absolutely scare you and limit you. It goes beyond how fast and how long one can pedal. If you think you can just pick up a bike and ride like him with no experience, you are fooling yourself.
There are, but a lot of places that consider bicycle couriers as a legitimate businesses, tend to have less enforcement on said laws, Ny being one of those places.
He rides so confident cause the most dangerous vehicle on the road is he himself. He faster than 90 % cars. And only one using a sneaker as the brake - maad maann 🗽
@@Watchman47 it's not about the speed of cars when it comes to nyc, it's the dense of the traffic, and riding like this is a lot moee dangerous compared to open wide city's like germany
@@Watchman47 Cars speed up very very quickly in NYC. And everyone drives EXTREMELY aggressively. I've never cycled there, but I have driven many times, and it's absolutely unlike anything else I've seen in the US or Europe. People slam on the gas when lights turn green, even when they're going to have to stop in 2 blocks. And if you don't drive aggressively yourself, you will get run off the road by other cars. (I'm not exaggerating, you will literally get edged out of your lane by other vehicles until you're stuck behind parked cars unless you drive like an overly aggressive asshole). Honestly, it was hard to even imagine the concept of driving being "difficult" until I drove in NYC. It's just a completely different thing--more similar to like 3rd world city driving I imagine--just due to the density combined with the speed and aggression and the fact that there are people and obstacles EVERYWHERE, etc.
Whenever I watch a video that the cyclist rides like this I keep my heart in my hand. If someone rides like this here in Rio de Janeiro, they will die within a few minutes of pedaling. Big hug, I love your work.

This behavior is so dangerous it makes my blood boil. Shot wonderfully, easily one of (if not the best) NYC biking videos I've seen, but that doesn't make this okay. I bike here too but as a pedestrian, bikers like these give NYC cyclists such a bad rap. Biking against traffic, thinking you have the right of way over pedestrians who have the light, and cutting in front of moving vehicles is so dangerous to not just you but to innocent others. You might be great at this but I'd hate to see others inspired by you try this out, and hurt innocent people.

Been cycling over 50 years and r o d e my first track bike at age 14. Have been on the Encino velodrome in LA and I'm not easily impressed, but this guy is quite phenomenal. Have you had your first severe crash? I have had two of them, was run down by a 280Z in 1989 and in 2014 front wheel locked up and thrown over the handlebars and had a spinal cord injury. Riding again, but will never be the same.
Man! That’s quite the story. Glad to hear you’re back on a bike. So much respect. And yes…I’ve had some crashes - mostly me crashing solo doing something dumb, but I was taken out by an illegal left turn once. Flew across their hood and went head fist into a parked car at full speed. Broken ribs, nerve damage and a few scars that will never fully go away. Thankfully I was back on my feet and back on a bike in no time. This ride was a wild one…I’ll admit that, but I never once felt like I was in danger. I’m and old man and don’t ride like this every day. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience.

For approximately 15min20sec of this I was tense af. My Dog!! Erik's riding is frenetic but mesmerising. The gaps he sees (most of the time lol) & the lines he commits to were heart in mouth stuff. The bike introductions need to stay IMO. One question though Terry, do you always use your single speed 50/17(?) when 'chasing'? Fuck I love your work, keep being awesome.

Love that we got to hear what gears duder is running. Would love more specs on the bikes and any stories or info about them in future episodes!
love it. gave me high anxiety throughout the whole vid. keep that spirit alive ma dudez

What is it called when he Whips the tail end of the bike to avoid a person or obstacle?
Whip skid

Gradually an ideal format is being drawn.
For approximately 15min20sec of this I was tense af. My Dog!! Erik's riding is frenetic but mesmerising. The gaps he sees (most of the time lol) & the lines he commits to were heart in mouth stuff. The bike introductions need to stay IMO. One question though Terry, do you always use your single speed 50/17(?) when 'chasing'? Fuck I love your work, keep being awesome.
Amazing video and the ride downtown.
