Or you could just have regular functioning mirrors on your bars if you're all about safety. Just sayin... that little makeup mirror by your knee isn't helping anything.
Agree, motorcycle training says to be to the left or right, and pointed to the side in case of sudden rear-end strike, you will be shunted instead of squashed. He's all about safety, at least he had the mirror to watch!
@@TarekMidani You can split a single lane into 3 sections. Left(1), Middle(2), and Right(3). In this case, being in the middle of the lane (lane position 2) is less ideal because if someone rear ends you its going to press you into the car in front of you. If you are in the left or right of the lane you have an escape path and if you get rear ended it wont crush you into the car in front(hell it may even only skim the side of your bike).
Safe riding man. To the driver's defense at 10:54, I always pay attention to my rear view and try to get a sense of whether the driver is calm or in a hurry to determine whether I should stay in the bike lane until I pick up speed before moving to the road. From your video, there was a huge gap between you and the car in front of you to justify staying in the bike lane to let the guy behind you pass. Again, this was totally his fault, but I'd be annoyed too if I were him if a bike hogged an entire lane when a bike lane is available.
Brother you are a motorcycle, not a bicycle, no car should be passing you like that AND it's illegal to be in the bicycle lane in some states. You're a vehicle on the road
@CapArchy drivers don't think most ebikes are motorcycles. I ride in the lane that will keep up with traffic. I don't ride in the lane based on what the law says. It's my own body--the law doesn't care if I get hit
That’s a good question. You don’t have to ride in the bike lane if you exceed the limits of speed. As long as you can keep up with traffic at the speed limit you don’t ride in bike lane. Otherwise you put other cyclists at risks. It’s the weird Ebike gray area: too slow for traffic, too fast for the bike lane.
@@thepeterparkershow Don't forget the traffic law of the larger vehicle has the right of way! Being all about safety myself, I would be in the bike lane and to heck with cyclists.
@@justcommenting4981 Yes, we agree, the larger vehicle is always right, not the riders opinion if he is right. So many people are willing to be "right" and dead at the same time, well, not me, I'm all about safety, as he says in the video, so many crazies out there, good luck.
You could opt for regular mirrors on the left and right side sticking up of the handle bar. Blends more in IMO than this weird thing on your helmet. Talking safety: I think this mirror sticking out of your helmet might break your neck in the case of an accident.
Was going into the comment to write exactly this (motorbike rider here, might be less of an issue with bicycle speeds). Depending on how you strike an object/ground it will or will not be super deadly. Don't think it snaps off easily, it needs to rotate out of the way?
It's not a Peter Parker Show video if I don't get almost clipped by a car LOL
Starts at 3:30
peter skid mark gonna be a statistic sooner than later with his temu gadgets
@@hedindunuffin I’ll do my best to not get to that stage. LOL

This is better… trust me
@thepeterparkershow riding for 45 years lol I'm good.
how long do you get used to this thing?
Almost immediately to be honest
It's nice that you're finally back, I often wait for your videos :), I also have a ruroc helmet, I use it for my motorcycle
Thank you for your support! I'll do my best to post more often. 🤟
1:05 If you're overtaking cars on the right side, placing yourself between the cars and the sidewalk, you shouldn't be riding.
You need to get out of lane 2 @ 2:19
You will regret that one day I assure you.

He's in the left turn lane @ 2:19. I'm not seeing what's wrong with that?
I see nothing wrong. How else do you turn left? Walk his bike?

Absolutely correct. Bro's gonna be a sandwich one day.
Hello Peter. Haven't seen any notifications from you in a long while. Thought you might have gotten into an accident or something.
Haha, you think I'd let a little thing like an accident stop me?
@thepeterparkershow
Probably not.
Maybe drive in designated bike lane and u won't havr to be pissed about ppl passing u

But why are you not riding in the green zone?

@johngreydanus2033 dude...why? Car may as well ride in there too then. Speed and weight disparity is what is dangerous.

Totally doesn't look dorky or stupid at all!
I can’t tell if this is sarcasm lol
@thepeterparkershow I like your channel, I was just razzing ya!

Ya, just get regular mirrors. They were invented for just this.....seeing behind you.
A day where people are voting for Trump!
