With over a million and a half views, this video qualifies as both “OLD” and popular. If you haven’t watched this, you should check it out. It’s simply a video of bike messengers going through the city of New York. Brave souls.

Commentary after the jump:

Wow, that is incredible. Most of the comments on the Youtube page are spot on. Yes, “3:22 is incredible”. But so is most of the movie.

If you ever wanted to understand why people say not to drive in New York, this video reveals it. Look at how much faster the bikers get through the city. Look at all the gridlock they have to swerve in between and around. Nuts.
