Your videos are making me want to move back to NYC. If you have time, take your bikes, GoPro and mouth holder to the West Side bike path. It’s right on the Hudson, and probably the most photo-worthy stretch of riding in the city. Also, you can marvel at how pedestrians and runners insist on taking up the bike path despite having a parallel path closer to the river. Thanks for this series of vids.
It's always so good to see Daisy in Vlogs again. Also miss her presence in Giro greatly. Daisy aways made a top class coffee 😊 Must be coffee heaven at yours. Also miss Daisy's ability to express her displeasure and frustration 🤣😊 she has expressive profanity down to a fine art.
You are both very good at city ridding, I commuted for years and years…. Got hit a few times ,,, but overall it take a lot of skill to ride the city… well done!
While you here next Saturday, Park Ave will closed the whole morning until 1PM to allow pedestrians, runners and bikers alike to enjoy the summer streets. Pretty cool and different!
If Williamsburg bridge is getting on your nerves - try Manhattan bridge. It's a bit further away, has similar gradient, and leaves you in Chinatown - not that far south from where Williamsburg bridge exists. You may also consider riding around Jamaica Bay and visit Fort Tilden and Rockaway beach (the loop also hits Shirley Chisholm State Park with some nice gravel roads). Enjoy your stay in the city!
The new protected Brooklyn Bridge on-road bike lane is so much better!! Riding up on the promenade with all the pedestrian tourists taking selfies used to be basically impossible-the majority of NYC cyclists (except for that one guy with the song...) would just avoid it altogether and go out of our way to take a different bridge. The on-road lane isn't quite as scenic but being able to actually ride properly over the bridge again has cut a mile off my commute every day!
I commend you for bravery and competence in navigating around heavy traffic. I despise riding in big cities and downtown areas. It does look like there are some good paths there at least but unless they go for miles and miles and people know to stay to the right I'd be sticking to the indoor trainer.
Great vid, love the balance of cycling, friends and food. Did initially think the sponsored section of the video was going to be for the Brooklyn beer in the foreground, but the GRILL mount is probably better (at holding GoPro's)....
Speaking of Whistler … are you going to come and ride the Whistler Fondo one of these days? I’m in Victoria, so we have Ryder Hesjedal’s Tour de Victoria, which is also fun.
Never thought of my head as natures gimball, makes sense and you do get good shots. I'm guessing thew big camera for the skyscapes or it that still on the GoPro? :)
Do you have to wear lights at night/dusk in NYC. Has the bike infrastructure got any better (or worse) since before Covid and since most Covid restrictions ended in nYC. How bad is bike theft in NYC or is it the same as in the UK. Can you take your bike on the subway or buses (or both). Is it quicker than the subway. If you can't use the tunnels, how do you get to those places otherwise. Is there more people riding now since Covid "ended" in NYC. How do taxies and buses treat bikers. Does the city councils care about bikers or is it just greenwashing. Is it easier to buy a new bike now after Covid cleared most stock off the shelves. How do bikers in NYC deal with humidity (or is the answer the same as pedestrians)
Ah, but… any New Yorker would have told you that the Brooklyn Bridge is virtually unbikeable. 😆 I only go there once in a while before dawn, to watch the sunrise from the top deck. Any other time pedestrian traffic is impenetrable.
NYC has a Velodrome you should check out. It's out in Flushing Queens Kissena Park. Not the steepest or in best condition but a nice ride out to it.

Daisy is so awesome. Nice New York ride. Take care, Al

Does Daisy swear at you when you are talking to her going up a hill and she is just trying to breathe like my Mrs does? 🤣🤣
thanks for the reminder of the bike lane song...brilliant!!
Di Fara Pizza for the win, Daisy & Francis. Paulie Gee's Slice Shop is excellent too.

So glad it's not just me that thinks Prospect Park hill gets longer each time...or that swears on the Williamsburg Bridge! Thanks, Francis & Daisy
Love seeing you back in New York. Check out Summer Streets next weekend if you can.
That Brooklyn Brewery Bel Air is one of my favorite sour beers. Hope you liked it!
I bought one a while ago for the few videos I shoot and love it.
Great vlogs around NYC. Enjoy your travels.
if you are still in NYC specifically in Williamsburg please do stop in to Hilltop bicycles on the corner of Kent Ave and N7t st.
Great content as usual Francis! 🍻
Glad you’re doing these videos now, I’m in NYC next weekend and it’s adding to the excitement!
Jamaica Bay Loop, Central Park, Prospect Park, Hudson River Greenway, Governor's Island, Randalls Island, Jacob Riis/Far Rockaway
If you are up early come check out the racing in Central Park (530 to 8 am)
you should ride to Coney Island and Jones Beach!
it was great seeing you picked up some proper NY pizza

Go to Atlantic City and ride south to Wildwood. Hit all the boardwalks.
Bike. Pizza . Friends. Perfect !
Please ride the west side highway!!!! It’s amazing
The music in this is awesome
“Natures gimbal” classic!
That Brooklyn Bel Air sour that you have at 4:06 is such a good beer. You should check out Other Half as well.
We’ve been there a few times now, so good!
lovin the nyc content
How big os the large. They take you round the back and start up the pump. 🤣😂🤣😂
Question about the go pro mouth mount. How much do you dribble? Thought it would generate a bit.
Not at all, you can still breath while using it
Thank´s for the link to Pro Standard 👌
Pizza! Thanks you x
Also. No more chunky aloe drink content please. I’m getting flashbacks of my kiddo unwell after jelly #vom 😂
❤️❤️❤️
Since you brought up filming with a gopro can you share what you ended up doing for wind noise om the hero 10 or point me to the right video
"Cloudy day today...very nice"....lol...
Speaking of Whistler … are you going to come and ride the Whistler Fondo one of these days? I’m in Victoria, so we have Ryder Hesjedal’s Tour de Victoria, which is also fun.
I would love to!
Not British, but lived in the UK for a while. I felt the weather talk was 100% normal until you brought up the stereotype thing. 😁😁😁
Was the Brooklyn beer a "please sponsor me" or a subtle(!)product placement?
I wouldn't say no if they offered haha
Never thought of my head as natures gimball, makes sense and you do get good shots. I'm guessing thew big camera for the skyscapes or it that still on the GoPro? :)
Sky scrapers is the big cam!
Yo why haven’t I biked in NYC yet?? I live 4 hours away, would be a fun quick trip. (As a Rhode Islander any drive over 45 minutes is considered long)
PP Hill, yeah it's no fun around lap 4-5 haha
Which helmet are you wearing 🤔 I like it
did you try bear mountain?
Great edit 🤜💥🤛
The bike lanes looks quite nice to me from Hong Kong
Small is bigger than anything you can get in the UK. That's the US for you. Our larges are like a gallon
I like it
Brooklyn Lager affiliate link too?

Thanks Francis...I bought one.
Do you not drool on those gob mounts?
What are the glasses you’re wearing mate?
SunGod
Sungod Airas 👍
What brand are your glasses?
Sungod 👍
All you need to know about the weather is that it is.
I was singing the "bike lane" song in my head before she said it.
Dumbo is great. And has a good bike shop.
Bike lane/parking lot/garbage bin lot, walk path, trail, it's multi purpose infrastructure 🤣
I just binged “Francis Cade NYC” videos and I suggest you all do the same.
That pizza 🤤
Was planning to get a GRILL. Damnit Francis, enjoy my affiliate link bruh, just ordered one.
✌️
Brooklyn Beer? Oh, I'm so going up to Chico and telling Sierra Nevada your cheating on them!!!
Just ride in the street with the cars. The bike lane is more dangerous
When I saw the title, thought it was going to be a reference to Casey Neistat’s bike lane vid
