My Bike Commute from Prospect Heights to Midtown Manhattan… in 5 Minutes (video)

Posted on April 29, 2010 by

Here's a video of my bike commute from my apartment in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn to my office in midtown Manhattan, sped up to about five times the normal speed. Sorry if it makes you a bit motion sick. 

Man, getting over the Manhattan Bridge seems to take FOREVER.

Enjoy.

    When I first started coming to NY, it was overwhelming. The last few times it’s grown on me a bit. I’m still a bit torn – but I enjoyed this video. Maybe an excerpt of part of the ride at normal speed?

    That looks terrifying. I could never ride in the city.

    Not a scary a it looks. I’ve never been injured in 10+ years of biking in NYC.

    what’s your route? I live in PH and want to bike to work in Union Square. Not sure of the best/safest route.
    Thanks.

    It’s super easy. Take Fulton toward downtown Brooklyn. Turn right on Ashland. Left on Nassau. Get on the bridge. Easy-peasy, bike paths the whole way almost.
