You know what I used to say about drivers like you....go ahead and hit me...I'll recover health-wise, but you'll never recover financially.

Dude, don't lecture anyone here like your some bad ass who rides a bike in the city. Man I put 40k on my mongoose iboc over the course of 8 years in NYC, I know exactly what your talking about but your being an asshole about it at the same time, hence why your getting hate in the forum. Bikes can go where they please…

Kindof...but only if your intelligent about it. I don't see any reason why I should have to wait at a light when there is no traffic. On a bike you work hard for every mph of momentum you can get....slowing down is generally avoided since you lose precious speed. So if there's a red light or a stop sign that has no…

F.U.C.K.T.H.E.M. And all who admire them.

You assumed wrong, you ARE home, right?

knock knock

Ah, but I mentioned it to condemn it, not to promote it...big difference. And since it was my ultimatum, I make the rules. :-)

Duct Tape. Just sayin.

I swear to god I'll hunt down any commenter who makes a "In Russia" joke by their IP and beat them to death.

So would you call that scenario safe?

So long as your not speeding by them with only a few inches to spare, they have no right complaining. I've had tons of cars pass me when I rode in NYC but there were a few that actually had their side mirrors brush my jacket/shirt.

NYC. Best subways (by best i mean most accessible, not best serviced or best value) and busses, and you can ride from the Bronx to Battery Park on a beautiful bike path along the river.

Dude, don't be an asshole, your making us bikers look bad. The fact is bikes take up a third of a lane, so hug the side. Give a car as much room to pass as you can spare, and you'll find that drivers are only being an asshole to you because you were being one to them.

Awesome. One more item that's directly inspired by Star Trek. One more step to the awesome future.

That guy was an idiot to be standing there anyway.

One of my favorite videos. :-)

I'm not arguing that spectator safety isn't important, but that there are MORE things required to call an air show "safe" than spectator injuries.

Not even panning would do it with a fast shutter speed.

Who cares if there were 0 spectators hurt?? Is that your only measure of safety?

You don't know any of that for sure. There is a video above proving that an aircraft can in fact fly in stable flight that close to the ground, and with a bright outdoor shot, a shutter speed of 800 or more would give a crisp, non blurry picture without problems.
