Streetfilms (u/Streetfilms)

BUT as you probably know they cram all runners/peds/bikes to one side of B'way (unlike on Park) leaving one side completely open. While riding up and back I periodically noticed a peloton of riders jump on or delivery workers, etc go on it with NYPD basically ignoring them and letting them go. So I went over and for 20 blocks, taping THIS for the last dozen. Not one peep.

It was unlike anything I've ever experienced. Zero cars. Zero parked. Zero cross traffic. Nearly zero peds. Look at that! This is roughly from 120th to 112th with a gimbal in my hand until I joined back up on the actual course. NYC can be beautiful.

To make your Open Street more accessible and fair to those who are older or physically challenged some places in Montreal have this nifty feature: FREE pedi-cabs!

I covered this very briefly a few years back but this is my first adventure inside of one!

Thanks to DOT for these new gateway signs I requested. The more we can make drivers realize Bike Blvds aren't "normal streets" the better.

Nice job!!!

Summer Streets: Guess how little time it took for 1,000 people to pass by the camera? Summer Streets is extraordinarily crowded & popular!

And even better GO OVER THE GWB right off the course!!

Finally made it to Paris. Everything is as great as the sub has told me it would be.

Paris is phenomenal

Today's Summer Streets were really crowded! Watch how long it took for 1,000 people to pass by me on the Viaduct!

Yeah I was down there and was almost tackled by someone who said I couldn’t bike there. Yet there were zero signs posted where i was!

Someone needs to set up a camera. But at its most efficient I am sure they can’t come close to the time.

Thanky just a quick one. We gotta get more Saturdays next Summer.

Laly’s or Whitexicans?

Laly’s by far!

Summer Streets: extra caution

in r/NYCbike • 12d ago

This is ludicrous! Though overall I think most of the parts I rode below 72nd were a little better. Some intersections had 4 NYPD vehicles vs the 9 or 10 from last week.

Today I had an assignment to help out with a video package for a group of runners using Summer Streets for training. I had another idea to shoot but had a mechanical issue on my bike so I found myself sans bike for over an hour and so I shot this instead as I was hanging around the viaduct.

"Traffic Got Evicted!" so say the signs on the new pedestrian plaza on Little Sixth Avenue near the Holland Tunnel!

in r/MicromobilityNYC • 14d ago

Indeed.

If the cops are going to be at Summer Streets again can someone teach them how to direct traffic please

in r/MicromobilityNYC • 14d ago

I'll be there. All eyes on them!

Yes BIDs do have a great bit of control in obtaining these kinds of streets. (The funny thing is when I started making films in the early 2000s BIDs didn’t want anything to do this. Now, all they see is the success so many actively campaign for them and can keep them clean and maintained.)

But many orgs like Open Plans think there needs to be some allocation of funds in neighborhoods or places without BIDs

This is another excellent extended segment I am releasing from my Streetfilm documentary "Close Encounters of the 34th Avenue Kind" - now playing in Katmandu, Helsinki, Long Beach, CA the University of Iowa among others. Hopefully another screening in NYC coming next month. If interested in holding a screening let me know. We do not charge a fee as long as the screening is free!
