And Kendra, interesting link about Jersey permits, if you see any on that for NYC highways, let me know. Stab in the dark, naturally.

No More Freestorm! And I was wondering how they got those high shots. It was a guy on a 12′ tall bike, of course.

It looks like LA needs to add a couple of more lanes for the cars

In New Jersey, you can apply for a permit to ride on selected highways.

Here the point about bikes on Freeways — motor vehicles have a whole, extensive, expensive infrastructure just for them where bicycles and pedestriasn are not permitted. How many square feet does that occupy, even in NYC?

Time to provide a similar priority, elsewhere, to bicycles other modest of transport faster than pedestrians and slower than motor vehicles.

Let’s be reasonable and not insist on grade separted limited access. A segregated right of way would be sufficient.

You’re right about the muting, Brad. I just kept hoping the music would get better. These damn kids and their noise!

I saw those high-up shots and thought, “what, they’ve got someone in a semi who’s in on the act?” Then I saw the bike. That was awesome.

Maybe they can get some gyro-mounted cameras for the next video, or else I’m going to be seasick.

Bottom line, though: this is cool. Is traffic on any of the local highways slow enough for this?

Boy howdy that music really was irritating.
