If you haven't already seen this video of NYC bike messengers racing, it's definitely worth checking out. The haunting music compliments the super intense riding. With over 1.8 million views, it must be the most popular bike video on You Tube. I'm struck by some of the negative comments left by fellow bikers. They think the style and disregard for lights, cars, and pedestrians only sets back the work of bike advocacy groups.
Not sure where I stand. As cycling and bike commuting continue to gain popularity, I wonder if a certain edge is lost. Maybe I'm just overthinking things. Either way the ride over the Brooklyn Bridge looks spectacular.
