You need something much stronger than a bike horn to be honest.
I know it's going to weigh the bike down, but a freighter ship's foghorn might do the trick.

The way he’s yelling “Move, bike lane” with the bell reminds me of “Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead!” from Monty Python
That's what it is! Thank you.
He needs an airzound his electric horn is weak.
LOLOL.

I rate this comment 5/7. Quality post.
I rate this rating 4/10, doesn't go into why it's good very much but it still has good grammar and punctuation.
Half eaten iPod, This video wasn't made by them... They took it from someone's channel who makes bike vlogs
I was very disappointed. I wanted to hear the car horn.
👎
Rorynator I rate the rating of the rating 5/10. Feel like based off your critiques you should have given it a higher rating.
This bridge needs a major update.
Our infrastructure in general needs one.
Ban stopping on the bridge, it’s a piece of infrastructure, not a selfie destination. Tourists don’t need to be clogging a path unless they’re going somewhere.
Tiger Wooster about 80% of our infrastructure needs an overhaul.
J it's a tourist attraction
Tiger Wooster it's 135 years old um if they do an update on the sidewalk it might effect the bridge
I’m glad I don’t live in nyc, that’s some intense manslaughter-triggers right there

Me at the beginning of the video: “Geez chill out, just ring the dumb bell”
Me after watching 5 minutes of this video: “GET OUT OF THE DAMN WAY NUMB NUTS! ITS THE BIKE LANE!!
Yes. Exactly. Hahaha lol
The width of the footpath seems like a joke. So less space for so many people walking. And so much space for so few people in cars...
I look at it and am reminded why I never try to ride my bike on multi use paths on weekends. It looks to me like the vast majority of people are respecting the lane. And of course what right does the bike have to expect to ride at speed in these conditions...? Another typical whining NYC cyclist.
It was the opposite for me
Why does the city let vendors set up on the pedestrian lane is already so narrow, forcing more ppl into bike lane? So stupid!
No one respects the cyclists
NYC has one of the worst street and infrastructure designs in the world. Living here is a nightmare
Gm 4L You try managing 8+ million people shoving themselves into a 300 square mile block. While also maintaining the history of the city and appropriately zoning buildings to promote as much sunlight as possible. Don‘t forget to factor in all of NYC’s tourists, too.
@Mary kai says someone who doesn't live in NYC. time is money fam
Not to mention the NYPD parks their vehicles in the already crowded ped lane 5:46
You could use a snow plough on the front of your bicycle and just plough every one over.
I thought the same
Yeah good luck doing that with a broken skull
Derek Delboy Trotter and if a car driver said the same thing about cyclists? You can't have it both ways.
It was a joke man.
Bikarmagedon? 😂

Tourists:"Why do New Yorkers hate us?"
Also tourists *stands in the way unaware that NYC is a city and not a zoo to just look at*
No really it goes for any city really, there are people that live here!!! So follow the rules including etiquette rules such as stand on the right walk on the left on escalators. That one is a pet peeve of mine.
When i first visited New York i couldn't believe how terrible the infrastructure is for a supposedly first world country.. Not just for cyclist, but for everyone. The above is a prime example. If you came from much of Europe, the above wouldn't even register as being a bike lane. A few faded markings, suddenly disappearing & reappearing at random. Same colour as the walkway. i've seen much better in other US cities too. Notice six lanes dedicated to cars. That's the problem - equitable distribution of available space.
My sister got elbowed by an angry old man after politely saying excuse me and trying to pass on the left. His wife was with him and she apologized for him
Tourist. A person that is not from said city and is visiting. ..
How exactly would they know the rules? Lol
Or just build bigger bridges, i thought all the roads are bigger in the U.S but it looks like stuff is build for midgets if i compare it to Hamburg
Where I live we have little lanes for bicycles, and if we do it's for everyone to use just because there is no sidewalk.
As tourist who lives out in the country, I wouldn't half these things.
The second someone passes the white line *beep* *beep* *beep*
He is a bit excessive with the bell tbh. This is coming from another cyclist btw
Yeah as a city cyclist this is the kind of prick that gives us all a bad rep.
You're going too fast when there's that many pedestrians, slow the fuck down we all have to share the same paths, regardless of what lines some bureaucrat has drawn on the road 🙄
LINE IS LINE
More jus letting someone know he’s coming up behind them
@@Shutup678 exactly hes chiming with the traditional bell to those walking in the same direction and are being approached from behind.
The loud horn was for people that needed more persuading. I saw a lot of people make honest efforts to get out of the way, stay clear, or correct their mistake..... then there are those that just dont get it. Good to see runners using the bike lane as well as if im not mistaken the crossing is limited to 10mph, that way the runners dont take anyone out or clog up the cycle lane.
Garbage infrastructure design. The bridge is clearly not wide enough to have both bike and pedestrian traffic using it, hell it's barely enough for 2 way pedestrian traffic considering the amount of people on it. This is the reason biking fails, designers just find a random road or path, paint a bike icon on the road or path and expect it to work. Even though the route may not lead anywhere, is away from where people want to go, is in terrible shape or is unsafe.
Like what is with those light poles in the way and the fence curved around the poles. Get rid of one of the traffic types on this route or widen that section, have better separation, paint the bike section a color, I mean hell half the bike icons on the ground have worn away, if a pedestrian isn't paying too much attention they wouldn't even know they are walking on a bikepath.
rjh00 I mean to remind you the Brooklyn Bridge is old as fuck. They’re already updating the Tappanzee Bridge so they don’t have enough to update another
That's not good enough, the bridge was old before they put the bikepath there, they should have realized that a bikepath where they put it just wasn't going to work or a good idea. Instead they should have maybe taken a care lane away and make it a bike lane or expanded the footpath.
Brooklyn bridge is a touristic bridge, by a Saturday in August, we know that the bridge will be totally overcrowded, furthermore if you are hurry, you could take Manhattan bridge. I know that riding Brooklyn bridge can be frustrating,but as bicycle users, we have to accepted the tourism on the bridge or change of town.
How far apart are the bridges? As in, how big of a detour is it from one bridge to the other? Aside from that, I agree with you that if Manhattan Bridge is more capable of handling the traffic bikers should use that one, but the city also has to forbid and get rid of the bikelane on Brooklyn. (at least in the manner they did it, if they converted a car lane in a bike lane it could still work, but don't know how that would affect car traffic (real affect not just typical complaints car drivers have whenever there is any downside for them). If you give bikers a lane that leads somewhere they will use it.
I just checked the distances on google maps and it's very reasonable, Brooklyn bridge should definitely not be a bike bridge in the state that it is now, there is a much better option closeby, with only a small detour, which would be much safer and better for everyone involved, also probably much quicker on some days depending on the pedestrian traffic, what good is a shorter route if you have to go at a snails pace to avoid crashing into anyone.
Watching this video raised my blood pressure. So frustrating.
Yeah cyclists are the worst!!😂😂😂😂
@@BERSERK263 no its the clueless pedestrians walking in the bike lane..
They need to stop allowing vendors to sell stuff on the bridge
As of 2024 they have
I've seen many videos like this, seems like they need to redesign this bridge because there's just too many people on it. And are you joking me that they expect two way bike traffic in that little bike lane? Nice to see so many people walking and biking anyway
NYC is doing a study on this bridge to see if the pedestrian and bicycle paths can be expanded further. Supposedly it's going to be completed sometime this year.
It desperately needs to be expanded!
What are the ideas? Only thing from the top of my head is to stack it on top.
Taking the BK is the sucker move. Give it to the tourists. Pro move is the Manhattan Bridge.
Here's the current blueprint: www.nyc.gov/html/dot/downloads/pdf/brooklyn-bridge-promenade.pdf
The widest one on top of the girders looks nice, the other ones are not futureproof in regards to crowdedness. And I see they kept a pedestrian strip in the middle, why'd you think that is? Couldn't figure out.
ey! I'm walkin' 'ere!
calm down Joey! Mama's looking at the cenery.
@@remilafleur540 fuggedaboutit
Ey I'm cyclin here.
Ayyy cousin Nicki! We got a saying in Brooklyn for people like you
Really isn't a good design. Not much room overall. They should make another lane over top the road just for bikes.
People still gonna walk on it
Allen McKinney sure! Only 12 million dollars
Agree. Needs more space but I think the bridge should just be expanded.
0:33 the way the girl’s hand moved 😂
I'm from the UK and it seems plain absurd to put the bike lane up there, why is it part of the footpath? In the UK the vast majority of bike lanes are part of the roads.
They don't want to allocate a two way bike way on the bridge's roadway to take away from the PRECIOUS MURICAN' MOTOR LANES. Fucking morons we have in this country.
The bridge is not wide, it is old, and they can't add lanes to it - its already a traffic nightmare, so adding bike lanes would make it worse.
When the bridge was built in the 1800's, there were few people walking across. In this decade, tourism skyrocketed (more pedestrians) and cycling skyrocketed (more bikes.) Nobody anticipated how crowded it would get.
Brooklyn Bridge was completed in 1883. These London Bridges all have cycling infrastructure and these are their opening dates - Blackfriars (1869), Westminster (1862), (Vauxhall (1906), Putney (1886). Just because a bridge is old doesn't mean it can't be made cycle friendly.
LOL...you're seriously comparing Blackfriars, Westminster, Vauxhall and Putney bridges to fucking BROOKLYN BRIDGE!!!!!!! Hahahahaha...what a fucking idiot you are. Credibility = zero.
I don't think I could manage going through this every day
There's an alternative bridge. Most just choose to go on the Brooklyn Bridge so they can have some excitement or have something to fuss about.
"Make way for the queens guard!" 🤣😂
No, it’s just make way for the queens.
Does it make sense for this to be a bike lane when the ratio of pedestrian to bike is like 50 to 1?
Remind me to never bike OR walk across that bridge. Looks like a horrible hassle either way for anyone who actually uses it to get someplace.
ric h
Ready?
Ride a bike to the bridge, acknowledge it's busy by using brain power, get off the bike, walk over the bridge, get to the end, get back on, ride away.
That way you can enjoy everything AND you don't have to create drama.
Easy right?
I actually prefer to use the Manhattan bridge. Both the pedestrian and bike paths are pretty clear. The only issue I find with it is that in addition to being a regular bridge, it is also a train bridge (the BDQN) and tends to be very loud/give off the impression of shaking when a train is passing.
Arcadian if you think I’m gonna walk my bike that distance you are high
it's fine before 11am. after that the tourists show up and it makes a mad house. as Boom Shabanga says take the manhattan bridge.
I once walk across the bridge and never once walked on the bike lane
Just lost in their own little worlds of entitlement. At least some do move.
Good Willed Terrorist you could easily be talking about alot of city cyclists
tim M its the Netherlands they dont have guns here you get shot.
Erick 😂😂😂 exactly
are your bike lanes designed as shitty as this one is
I was thinking the exact same thing, about the bikers. “1000’s of ppl should all yield to ME cuz I’m on a bike! I want to ride around unissued in lanes I didn’t pay for while inconveniencing everyone around me and ignore all traffic laws pertaining to me, but I’m going to scream bloody murder if I see an infraction by motorists or pedestrians.”-every biker I’ve seen
Legend has it, he’s still saying “bike lane”.
Mad respect for not ringing/beeping at the folks in wheelchairs. It's small but I noticed.
The bar is that low XD
@@doodleyourexampaper7995 yes
Sorry, I forgot. Bike lane = Please walk here and be a sodding nuisance to every single cyclist in NYC
Provocateur the video showed plenty of whites in the bike lane too.

@@pacomcjorge Leave it to Americans to turn it into a racial thing.
Mary kai there’s a bike lane for a reason. It’s meant to be ridden.
Fuck that shit totally crazy. Bike lanes should completely separate from peds, rather take my chances with the cars but I know it's illegal in NYC
Separated by a chain or something. Too many oblivious people

Nothing like an 8 year old in a stroller.
Seriously!! Her knees are hanging out cause she’s far too tall
Easter eggs lol 😂
Ever heard of a disabled or delayed child? Guess not.
@@GuadalupeGuacamole Why did you assume they're disabled? Plenty of dumb parents still stroll around their hell spawn on a stroller even if they're too old
Just to many people on 1 bridge. 1 side walk, a 2 way bike lane, people who stop for selfies. You can't blame all the pedestrian, they have to past other pedestrian sometimes.
A shoulder check from the pedestrians wouldn't go amiss.
Now you,re talking!
Tourism is such a pain in the ass for locals.
Glad where I live isn't like this.
On bare foot its easier to control the movements. You can’t say that about the bikes.
Theres not too many people the walkers are jsut blatantly rude.
If you go fast enough they will move out the way. 😂
There should be a divider between the bike lane and walking path that should clearly indicate which is which that would solve the problem.
Twhiz56 doubt it
They have to expand the walk / bikeway across the entire span to segregate walkers and cyclists or take a lane off the main roadway to allocate a two way protected bikeway.
People wouldn’t listen either way
Doubt it, too many assholes in New York
The pedestrians would climb across it, but when the cyclists come they have no time to get back. So you would need a proper fence.
This is the quality content TH-cam needs
you know you’re in NYC when you’re biking faster than the traffic on the bridge
5:46 I can understand though, there is limited space and yet those vehicles are parked on the pedestrian side, blocking most of the width.
Harry Eaton probably for saftet reasons so cars cant drive through there
Personally I think it's the city's fault for not building a proper bike lane on the bridge deck. Putting it on a busy bridge is not the right idea. Just take away a road lane! Also that bridge seems to go on forever :D... HOW LONG IS IT?????
The bridge is ~1.1 miles!
Agree. The cars have plenty of space down there, they could replace one or two for a good bicycle track
they actually did that!
Going through this twice a day must be devastating experience.

"Bike, your in my bike lane!"
At first I felt the biker was being one of those overly-aggressive "biker's rights" pricks. Then I saw the selfie stick and thought, "well, if I was on the jury, I wouldn't vote to convict him of murder."
+SkyEarthOcean A lot of these so called idiots you have up your arse are helping your countries economy so I would be a little more patient with them.
+Mirasolov Klose is it just tourists that do that is it them that shoot there own people too?
SkyEarthOcean
And you're the shit?
MrFiddleedee you are so right!
@Mary kai it is a bike lane for a reason So they dont have to walk like normal people...
Train Horn
very effective
A little tough to trailer around a compressor through. Shame
Cruise ship horn
Naaah A Light House Horn !!! Ow Yeah bby.
That car horn is HILARIOUS. I bet so many people are shitting themselves.
"I've got a car-horn too, but I don't want to use it.."
Liiaaaar...we *all* want you to use it!
To be fair it seemes as if people would get out of the bike lane when they see you.
Guess it's fair enought as the walk is crowded.
+actionkid105 - Your tax dollars at work - NOT!!! What few markings there are on the pavement indicating that it is a bicycle lane are so worn as to be practically obliterated. No wonder the pedestrians don't realize they're impeding traffic. Many of them appear to be tourists, unfamiliar with the area and mesmerized by the scenery.
The funny part is they JUST re striped the lane markings across the wooden portion of the promenade.
Milosz Ostrow A bike lane is a bike lane no matter where you are in the world. If you are gonna walk on one, you should constantly be making sure you're not getting in someone's way.
Milosz Ostrow, yeah but that won’t stop our spandex hero from proving his complete lack of manhood by almost hitting a mother and stroller at 1:29.
Ugh , I biked this bridge for a year or two, and I'm getting anxiety watching the ascent, just anticipating tourists blocking me and making me come to a stop and start back up again. This path was just poorly designed...
That was stressful to watch! Well done.
Thank you!
You have so much restraint with that car horn. If I were you I'd be blaring my car horn down the bridge. Lol
And I feel your pain I was in NYC for a couple days and rode across the Brooklyn Bridge and it was a nightmare. Ringing my bell as much as I could I don't know how people ride across that bridge every day without getting pissed at people. Lol
Seems there's a lot of people in favour of the pedestrians in the comments. Sometimes stepping over the line just cannot be avoided.
That’s a really valid point, it’s just upsetting that it’s more often just ditzy people unaware of their surroundings.
MarissaMacMarissa I disagree. It’s more often the fact that large groups of tourists take up the entire width of the pedestrian side, thus making it impossible to avoid walking in the bike lane. This could easily be solved if they put the road in the middle of the bridge, a bike lane on one side and a pedestrian lane on the other side.
Does anyone know where to get a backpack like the one on the bike in front? I've been saying for ages it'd be awesome if pannier bags had backpack straps so you could transition seamlessly, but the only ones I could find have the straps on the wrong side and involve a lot of tedium to convert between the two modes as a result
If you simply put an elevated separator (curb stone) where the white line is that would solve half of the problem. Seperate the two by a fence and the problem is solved.
3:03 Woman almost got schmacked
The problem in this situation is they have placed a bike lane where it is not practical to put a bike lane. You can't just slap a bike lane down anywhere and that means it will be usable
Love the dude yelling move bike lane!!
"Move bike lane * BEEP* *BEEP*"
*Continues to take selfie*
Ecksdee
Stop the bike. Photobomb the selfie.
New York .. wtf? Just remove one of the 20 car lanes and give it to the cyclists. This is shit.
unfortunately new york runs on the myth that more car lanes = less congestion
Love watching tourists panic as they frantically try to hurry back to the walking lane.
what are you using for your horn install kit?. I have a 140 db air horn for a bicycle but wanna install a actual car horn so it's better for drivers who aren't looking direction there turning and people so they are more aware. hope you can help me out I just wanna know what to buy and do it affective. thanks and be safe out there
I got it from www.loudbicycle.com/
Is there some way you can attach the horn from the Queen Mary onto your bike?
You need a train horn on that bike.
Sounds like something Niko Bellic would say.
Could you imagine if pedestrians had to shout “MOVE! SIDEWALK!” at cars driving at them - the uproar....🤦
Happens daily. People in cars think they are superior beings and always try to be a couple seconds quicker not carrying about a child's saftey
The car horn the way to go but man what a harrowing tour. Some good heads up biking.
Oh man cycling in NYC is like Mission Impossible 😂🚴🏻
2:46 THAT MANS FACE XD
That horn is FANTASTIC! Is that the Orp Smart horn? It has two tones and I like it.
It's the Loud Bike Mini horn.
Thank you brother! Keep the shiny side up, your head on a swivel, and have fun! I'm enjoying ALL of your vids!
Nice.
I appreciate that guy, and you Actionkid for bringing out the louder horn at times.
People can be darn ignorant standing with their backs to the cyclist as if they aren’t the ones going to suffer if struck.
I’ve tried to cycle across the Brooklyn bridge! It’s quite challenging. Thanks for sharing.
Bikes need to have a dedicated lane down on the road. As NYC population rises it will have to change one day. That bridge will be crammed.
The people who hug the fence as if that’s better annoy me
The 1k dislikes are the people you drove by!
Next time try a fog horn.
Look like they need to paint some bicycles emblem on the bike lane
Way too many people for such a small bridge
No, way too many people for a 50/50 split with a bike lane. Vehicles belong on the road, period. Not on the sidewalk.
Look how much space is allocated to the cars... and compare that to the combined ped/two-way bike lane...
Lol at that vocal ritual 😂 Bike laaanneeee beep beep beep ring ring bike laaaane
"Move bike lane" lmao. A bit prickish but still entertaining.
Laws not being followed calls for "MOOOOVE BIKE LANE!!!"
You don't dare walk in bike lanes in the Netherlands, you WILL get run over. Why should it be any different here? Walkway is for pedestrians, bike lane for bikes, roadway for cars. We want sidewalks for pedestrians for safety, so cars won't hit them. We don't want bicycles on the sidewalk for the same reason, so where do we put them, in the roadway with cars where it's dangerous for them. So we build bike lanes to have three separate safe areas for all, and what do pedestrians do? "Oh, I'll walk here too". If you walk on a cycle path and get hit, it's your own fault.
Battle Field hey may I ask, do you know kung foo?
yes i do....
kunga fook you up!!
They really need to repaint the signs! A lot of bike lanes are like this, it’s a shame.
How come theirs no fence between the bike and pedestrian lane
The most satisfying and frustrating things I've ever watched. Loved it.
2:46 reaction from the guy in red hahahha
"Moooove biiiikee laaaaneee!!!!"
where do I get a car horn for the bike? I need it!!
The horn is called the Loud Bicycle Mini (loudbicycle.com/)
actionkid105 thanks:))
So is it a good idea to jog on the bridge? With how many tourists there are, if they do decide to jog there- do they use the bike path or the walkway?
No idea.
Why is he ringing the damn thing when nobody is blocking the way.
Well, if im not mistaken, some US majors (or some relevant folks) visited the Netherlands to have a look on our bike infrastructure.
It's really not that hard, just gotta put some will behind it!
Problem is that in the US people don't really use bikes. Cycling is often just seen as a niche sport and not a transport option. At least that's what I've gathered from how people from the US complain about cyclists.
30 seconds in and all I can think about is that backpack strap snagging something
Every cyclist is a hero. Helping save the world. One pedal revolution at a time...
Why is their a bike lane in the pedestrian walkway anyway? I agree you guys are entitled to your own space but this time it looks like your space is on pedestrian space, it would be impossible for them not to flood over to your lane, it's too tight a space and their are too many people. I guess don't bike on the damn bridge huh? Or better yet, have some humility and patience, notice how there were other bikers too and not a single one of them shouted or yelled at a single person.
I wish I lived in New York I’d just do this all day
Not the hero we deserve, but the hero we need
i enjoyed the experience of going over the bridge at a pleasant pace, thanks
Whatta mess!
And the fact that vendors are on the pedestrian side it doesn’t help either.
Too many people for cycling, walking, jogging, taking pics, etc in such small pathway.
This whole entire crossing was NOT thought out well AT ALL why not have two separate crossing doodads one for bike and one for people separated and then you have two way bike on the bike one too :)
I think one of those aerosol powered 'air' horns is needed as an upgrade...🎺🎺👍😂
I need that horn! Where can I get one?
