Bike messenger makes his technique round NYC site traffic with out brakes

Here’s a video of motorcycle messenger Cooper Ray and videographer Terry Barentsen (the fellow within the back of the digicam) making their technique round NYC site traffic. that movie Top payment Bustle starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt the place the premise of the movie is that he doesn’t agree with brakes on his bike? Correctly right here is that:

What makes Cooper’s using model a long way more unbelievable, is he does not agree with any gears or brakes on his bike.

By technique of braking, I’ve considered Cooper jump off the bike and sluggish down on foot, additionally I indisputably agree with considered him exercise his foot on the back wheel love a brake, nonetheless in every other case he correct retains using.

Also the bike Cooper is using is a note bike made for racing at a velodrome, it is a long way a effect equipment bike and not using a brakes and no freewheel. Meaning the rear wheel drives the pedals, so so long as the bike is transferring the pedals are turning.

Here’s clearly gigantic abominable for Cooper nonetheless it indisputably makes issues more abominable for a glorious deal of non-insane cyclists. The long-established idea within the back of avenue security is predictability and this guy is the reverse of that. Or not it is easy to succor a long way from something going in a straight line, it turns into a long way more advanced when the element starts swerving and not following suggestions and being a long-established threat to every person round them. Chilly video even though.

Defend going for the paunchy video that potentially infuriates “long-established” cyclists in every single location.
