It takes a little while to get going but is well worth the wait. Not sure where to put it - but figured it was best in the Humor section... ;)

Kudos for the effort!!

hahahahahahahahahahaha -- love the crash scenes, especially the last one into the police car stopped across the bike lane.

Thanks for making my day and making me laugh -- needed it today!

How does he keep crashing like that and not hurt himself? Sheesh.

Practice makes perfect. :) Maximize time and surface!

He might have some training as a stuntman.

My favourite bit is when he crashes into the open truck.

Yeah, mine too :D

I would love to be able to roll like that.

I'm surprised that the bike survived the crashes!

(Could've been a public service announcement for helmets, too)

Maybe I should try rear-ending the realtor who keeps parking in the bike lane on my way home from work. The one who gave me the finger.

I loved that video! It's so very ....'new york city'. :D And yes that's what the bike lanes look like so often there- everyone blatantly double parks on them.

My favorite was the open truck. My next favorite was the police car. I also loved the bit where the security guard taking a smoke break just watched him crash. Just watched!

I've got a technical question..... the dude on the radio said that it is not illegal in NYC to not use the bicycle lane..... so why in the world did the ticket even go through? It sounded like the cyclist had to send it in to even find out what his fine would be - the cop gave him a range of what tickets usually cost bikers. So, if it was not a violation how could there be a penalty associated with it for the processing clerk to even assign? It seems like the clerk who processed the thing should have just tossed it out when they didn't find a violation?

OMG- that is so funny (but disgusting that he's given the ticket in the first place).
How he crashes so many times and is unscathed is impressive!:D
