I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that if this guy is the pinnacle of bike messaging then bike messengers are human garbage.
We are

worse is when they can't judge how wide a gap is like at 3:05
>>1104856
So does this guy just ride away after he fucks up someone's paint?
CANTSTOPDONTWANTTO
Why do they touch other people's vehicles?
>>1104844
I have a weird feeling of déjà-vu
>>1104856
4 minutes in and this d-bag has already hit 4 cars...
You haven't lived until you've split lanes of moving traffic, timed a red to shoot through it, and shot a gap between cars.
Just sayin. Try it some time.
>>1104868
Because it's kewl
>>1104987
All those things are alright, I do them on a regular basis and it's a lot of fun. However, being a dick and relying on other people braking so they don't crash into you is just being a dick and having a death wish.
>>1104844
>human garbage
So are you. What's the problem?
He didn't ruin anyone's day, and the only thing that could go wrong is him hurting himself.

>one guy who claims to be a bike messenger is a gigantic faggot
>all bike messengers must be gigantic faggots
Yeah no OP is a fag KYS
>>1105025
As a gigantic faggot please stop comparing me to bicycle messengers. I am more like a porteur.
>expensive-ass bike

Death?

I don't usually ride in slow dense traffic, but I do ride a lot in traffic. Honestly, I'd want all of the possible sensory data in that situation. Keeping my hand on a cager that could suddenly chimp out on me so I'd be able to dodge is a legit survival move, not a style conceit.
It's saddening that in order to even start enjoying the work of a bike courier you have to live in a cage-obsessed place like USA.

Is one less hand on your bike, if you really knew how to read traffic you'd already know which cagers to avoid.
2/10 will not reply again
>>1104983
it's just fucking paint
>>1105211
So if a "cager" walked up and keyed your fixie you wouldn't mind at all?
>>1105213
No lol
>>1105213
his fixie is probably a huge pile of shit he paid less than $500 for because hes poor and doesnt own anything nice. He will always be poor and think its the greatest thing ever.
>>1105237
As opposed to what? What kind of tard would buy a fixie for over $500? The only purpose of those things is to pretend you're in a movie from 2014 made by hollywood producers who haven't realized it's not 2005 anymore.
>>1105243
I just threw a number out there, dont read too much into it. The point is that he is too poor to appreciate anything of value and will continue to be poor until someone runs his ass over and then he can drink his food through a straw for the rest of his life. I find that to be a fitting outcome for trash like them.
>>1104856
did i put /n/ on to CDNYC?
and yeah touching cars feels good its like petting a dragon
>>1105267
its funny how cars dont seem to care when you skitch them
but trucks that are diesel and have that nice slow torque that doesnt rip your arm off and have nice things to grab hold off loose their shit and hit the brakes and try and fling you off every goddamn time... fuckers
also related... these bobcat trailers are final boss for skitching... rode one for 5 minutes up a steep incline the other day... prob shaved 30minutes off my commute... gift from god ;)
>>1105237
>zipps
>all city frame
>disc brakes
>not nice
Man you must suck at riding.
>>1104844
>I'm listenin 2 da road and the heart of muh city
>I cant hear the frustration and panic of every single motorist while I disobey traffic laws and cut people off just trying to get home to their families
we need a final solution to the fixie fag problem
>>1105310
Now I wanna see a brakeless fixie with disk brake rotors left on.
>all-shitty frame
>>1105283
as a driver and a cyclist, I would go far out of my way, to make sure that you fell and broke something, if you touched my car.
From the comments:
>What kind of pathetic bike community are you in? The only time we stop is when there's too many pedestrians or too many cars, never for red lights. If you follow traffic and never get to the front and wait behind cars to make a red light, well that's on you.
>What IS it about the video and Nico's cycling performance that brings out your fascist reactionary instincts?? You certainly project an awful lot of your own neurosis here.
I'm honestly not suprised that people hate cyclist in America. This guy thinks he is some kind of speed demon going 15 km/h through traffic, causing probably hundreds of dollars in damage per day from paint scratches, while I average 30 km/h on my daily commute thanks to non-retarded infrastructure of my city ;^)
>>1105362
I can give you something better
>>1105644
what the FUCK is that bike
>>1105213
I'm not a fixie riding faggot and my bike has scratches all over it. I couldn't care less. If it gets serious I just dab paint so it doesn't oxidise and proceed with my life.
