There is just something about this video & your video biking along the Hudson Riverfront that is so relaxing. I also enjoy the 'historical facts' you provide.
Crazy how much more car dependent the NJ side is compared to NYC, even though it's quite densely built and has all the ingredients necessary given some infrastructure investments. Crossing the river really is like crossing into another world!
My dear friend, I am doing every day static bike at home in Jerusalem. I do not usually comment on videos, but as I came to yours just by random choice I want to point out that I felt you were guiding me trough the streets and explaining as if I would have been a long lost friend that you happened to meet. Your remarks on the closed parks and the children, the bird that almost crashed into you in Central Park, the sounds of the cars and the guy yelling across the street, all made me feel I was there with you. I only did 50 minutes which is 9 km in my bike, but I'm coming back for another 50 min tomorrow, so you can keep me company mine while I'm so far away, pedaling my bike to nowhere, but with you. Thank you!!!
@@toshivid I would divide your video into NYC and the adventure on the Hudson River. Today I ride with you into new jersey and crossed the big bridge. It was sad to see that it was covered with protection so people will not jump from it to their deaths. Was this a common problem? When we crossed the bridge there were huge black stones. It's the stones of the bottom of the river? And then, the adventure of going up and down to find the piers and water fronts. And miss the geese! I think I was yelling at them, move to the right! I don't have a bell on my excersise bike.... Hahahaha... I had also a laugh when you complained of going back to the main road. I enjoy your video a lot. In the next few days will come back to finish the ride. Ps, how did you came back????
Love it! I used to live on 175th and Broadway back in 2005. I'm surprised there are still very few bike lanes, even compared to my native city of Stockholm, Sweden which is by no means a role model in that area. I'm also reminded of the time I decided to walk the GWB to NJ, I was stopped by the PA Police for taking pictures, insane, they even pulled a gun on me, for having a camera! Scary as hell. I've never experienced such a thing outside the US, you really need to get your cops in order!
I’m enjoying every minute of this and I’ve still got 1hr 50m to go! You’ve gone to a lot of trouble making these videos so thanks a lot for your time, you’re giving loads of folks a great deal of pleasure. 😀😀😀😎
Awesome video. I am planning on visiting New York and bringing my bike along to tour. Thank for sharing this video. I can somewhat get a feel on what to expect.
Watched it all... From Hong Kong !! Nice to be transported into NYC and Jersey right from my sofa... Definitely gave me some photo ideas for the next time I visit NYC. Thanx
What a ride! I'm about to upload in a little while some of the journeys I took on my bike in 2017 and 2018. That was a journey you did! 41:39 Now you understand me in South Atlanta with how they drive here too 47:24 That song had me crying when I first heard Carti's section 🤣 1:09:00 - 1:13:00 I ride my bike usually in the far right lane 1:24:36 Those are 'Fro' trees lol 1:36:40 This starts to remind me of some areas in Atlanta 2:03:40 Nope, this is by far one of the best areas I've seen
Absolutely magnificent tour of your city sir.thank you for sharing with us the beauty of your nation.be well,stay safe so we will continue to live in NY "with you".
Hi AK, panda member here on my other account - am indebted to your masterful and clear directions, as I did this ride yesterday! I turned onto the river path at a different point further south than where the Mitsuwa market was - only pedantic part of the ride was being alongside the cars for a while. Would've continued down to jersey city, but ferry wasn't running from Paulus hook so I went back up to Hoboken and caught the ferry w/ my bike back to Manhattan. A great ride! At this point I've pretty much done every major bridge in the greater city area -- think I'll do a long ride down to Coney Island next and subway back.
You did a great job in the NJ side discovering as you went along pathways on the riverside, with a few not so out of the way connections back to them. As a kid those did not exist and my bike rides included riding along the boulevard on River Road.
i big screen this video and i could swear that I find myself only quickly checking out the scenery and paying attention to the road, like I'm actually biking. Might hafta do that if I set up my indoor trainer....Great video, btw!
Well done, lucky you have that bell! There were some deadly turns on that bridge. Keep safe! I dont know anything about New Jersey, good to watch and learn. Thank you so much again for your videos 😀😀
Greetings from Belgrade 🙋🏻♂️ ActionKid!!! Thank you 4 this amazing video and info's... Since I was a little kid this was my dream and still is, to ride a bicycle through Central park and the rest of the city, as you mentioned lot of movies were filmed, but man! this is a whole new level of perspective and understanding how cycling traffic works in the city big as NY. Thanks again and KEEP UP WITH THE GOOD WORK & NICE RIDES!!! 😉🙌👍👍💪🍻✌️👏👏🚴🚲🙋🏻♂️
Nice to see the scenery. Reminded me my last visit there, first time in US (NYC, Manhattan), year ago during the summer. I used those citibikes and drove about 60km in two days around Manhattan 😎
Been riding clipless for decades now and it becomes instinct on both getting in and out. When I sometimes ride with sneakers I find myself turning my heal to unclip. If you spend a day with some spds and a bit of training especially at as slow as you can possibly go you’ll pick it up pretty quickly.I try to practice trackstands clipped in. Good video 👍👍
10 days ago, you did shoot a great cycling video work for 2 hours, 21 minutes, and 30 seconds in the middle of COVID-19! I watched the footage from beginning to end contrasted with Google Earth; and got busy in Screenshooting. Here’s what I found memorable: New York City - Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge, Central Park, Washington Heights, Irving Medical Center in Manhattan. New York City & New Jersey State - Interstate George Washington Bridge. New Jersey State - MITSUWA Marketplace with lots of waiting lines, Hudson River Walk/Cycleway, lots of upscale condominiums, long wharves, a Dog Park, a Sunken Ship (maybe a Yacht?), and Hoboken AREA. Not to mention, most people with facemasks and YOUR ALMOST NON-STOPPING SOLILOQUY WITH PLACE GUIDES AND COMMENTS, including your caution "on your left," and "thank you" to pedestrians after tinkle-clinking - were all good! 4K viewing, with such a super high-quality video that I had longed for watching on RUclips for 3 years and a half (I had struggled with my poor laptop with not so fast CPU and 2GB Memory!) finally came true! Now, your quality and quantity made me feel like I had a trip there! All things considered, thank you for your wonderful footage, and take a big rest, man!! - a Japanese from Saitama, Japan (I tell you, I've never been to the mainland of the US, but someday later!)
25:34 do you know how new this Douglass circle is ? I was in NY a looong time ago, stayed around Columbia university not far from there. I vaguely remember walking to Central Park through this place but there wasn't a circle, it was sort of an intersection and there was a gas pump there , too, i think.
Just wondering if you are shooting 1080p or 4k love your tours by the way, im in oz so it's great to see what another part of the world looks like and i like the commentary too
Excellent channel and videos! Out of curiosity, what is your bike you ride on these videos, also what kind of tire you use. Tons of miles riding like that daily, love to know the brand of tire and bike. Thanks great work.
When I lived in the Bronx I did a lot of the rides you have done, there were no protective bike lanes in midtown back then, but drivers were a little better and more courteous. Took NY waterway ferry back to the city, then the 5 train back to the bx. I’m curious as to the bike you have, a mountain bike with one small crank gear and 7 gears in the rear? I still ride but I live in Westchester county and use the empire trailway. My most recent ride was over the tappan see bridge to piermont , very noisy and crowded, still new to everyone, impossible to social distance.
Shout out to you and your excellent videos. Bike rides through the city like this gives me PURE JOY. This is day 2 of quarantine after testing positive for COVID (fully vaxxed, symptoms super mild). I can’t wait to get back out there especially as the cooler weather is absolutely perfect for bike rides through NYC. Cheers to you! (Oh, and did u check out the new Bk Bridge Bike Lane? Finally right? lol)
Hello Friend. Everything wonderfully clean, organized. Congratulations to those responsible for the city. Educated people.Respect for the rights of others.
im currently living vicariously through your walking videos because im stupidly sheltered and have anxiety. i am romanticizing what its like to be normal for once.
Wow! You're out of the cast? And you're already up for this kind of a trip? (just starting the video but I'm happy for you) Hope you're not overdoing it.
For those who live in NYC know that central park is where you let all of worries go because it feels like you are outside the city but really you are in the middle of the city
Nice spin - Washington Heights begins at !55th Street and Broadway you're on 142ns Street Bway @40:15. AK you forgot to mention The Hispanic Society of America Museum when you passed it on 155 and 156 streets and Broadway in Washington Heights. AK Harlem extends from 110 to 155 street from east river to hudson river. So on 142nd street Bway you are still in Harlem not Washington Heights.
Thanks for this ride/tour ! Now i know where my Niece worked ! NY-Presbyterian.Didnt know it was so close to GW-Bridge.And if U care for Asian Food-Mitsuwa Marketplace-its the place to go-known for a large Food Court.Plus i won a food contest there ! So-im prejudiced ! Wonder how many miles/km this ride took ?
Hey, I've noticed you kept going over red lights quite a few times. Aren't you supposed to stop even as a cyclist or is it allowed ? Not from the US, therefore just asking.
I see your good manners and your kindness. So very important these days. You are a good person.
Love new York thank you for sharing

I can’t wait to try this one day
You are like 9, you can't even ride a bike.
@@krystofsulc7328 kids are fast learners
Absolutely brilliant video AK. Loved every minute of it and you deserve an award for this one. Keep up the terrific work.
Men, you make me think I’m living there. Amazing. Keep going 🙌
Thanks so much for this! I love the narration - it kept me on my stationary bike the whole time, a new record for me!

Congrats Kenneth. Great video. When I'm ciclyng in my stationary bike, I see your post and I pedaling across NYC. Thanks for all.

Great job ActionKid! That riverfront has changed so much since riding Hoboken in my youth.
Do more of these video, i love seeing you riding a bike
This was an epic ride, AK! Beautiful waterfront residences on the Jersey waterfront. I enjoyed the whole video and watched from beginning to end!
Love it! Keep up the great work ActionKid!
Oh what a trip, man! you are the best! Big thank to you :)
Awesome video. I am planning on visiting New York and bringing my bike along to tour. Thank for sharing this video. I can somewhat get a feel on what to expect.
Your one healthy dude AK
love your work
The narration is terrific

41:39 Now you understand me in South Atlanta with how they drive here too
47:24 That song had me crying when I first heard Carti's section 🤣
1:09:00 - 1:13:00 I ride my bike usually in the far right lane
1:24:36 Those are 'Fro' trees lol
1:36:40 This starts to remind me of some areas in Atlanta
2:03:40 Nope, this is by far one of the best areas I've seen
Love following your rides in my excessive bike in my garage. Great to hear your narration as well. Thanks friend
14:05 - It's a lounging/sleeping thing that inflates by a person running with it behind them and the wind fills it with air. They also float.
Absolutely magnificent tour of your city sir.thank you for sharing with us the beauty of your nation.be well,stay safe so we will continue to live in NY "with you".
Beautiful sight seeing ppl out running & biking in Central Park.
I just found this video. WOW great tour of New York via a bicycle. You’re an excellent commentator.

Never miss a show. This one right at the top for a fav. Relaxing to take our mind off of today's world.
You are the best Bro. I'm addicted to yo videos Bro. I've now walked & cycled around New York City with yu even though I'm in Africa. Keep it up dude
Thanks for sharing. I didn't ride my bike this weekend so rode vicariously through you.
Wow that was a long ride. You make it look easy. Even driving around there is a pain.
No map, I like when you show a map of where you are going. In 2016, I've visited Hoboken, cool place. Thank you for the ride!
i big screen this video and i could swear that I find myself only quickly checking out the scenery and paying attention to the road, like I'm actually biking. Might hafta do that if I set up my indoor trainer....Great video, btw!
The Action kid on his 🚲 to go see They Might Be Giants in Hoboken ! 🎸
Well done, lucky you have that bell! There were some deadly turns on that bridge. Keep safe! I dont know anything about New Jersey, good to watch and learn. Thank you so much again for your videos 😀😀
I love Central Park! It's such a nice and relaxing place in the middle of Manhattan. Cool biking video, thank you for the tour 😎👍🌿
Ya killing me with that bell, lol!
Outstanding! May you continue to be healthy and strong!
I go to the Newport mall all the time. A very enjoyable video. Thanks.

I bet you can feel the heat when you stop behind a bus. Nice ride, AK. Tfs.
Fully watched while running on the treaadmill ✌️ great scenary!
I live in New Jersey and have been in Edgewater many times but never have I seen the Hudson River Walkway. Thanks, AK!

Thank you for this video I enjoyed very much
Thank AK, you are great man.
Excellent video!!
Awesome video, thank you so much for doing this, all I had to do was sit back and enjoy 😉
Enjoyed your ride.......from British Columbia, Canada.
Can you show us the map from/where you are moving at the starting? Your videos are great!!
it was a very nice bike ride , tank you
That incline at 56:00 is what we call a kuitenbijtertje (calf muscle biter) in Dutch. ;)
This was wonderful to see thank you from England uk
Hello from walking around central florida!! cool video I sure would like to try that bike ride one day!! stay alert brother!!

"You can really build up some speed here in Central Park!"

Thanks for the video, I enjoyed Hoboken NJ.

Long ride for you . Very nice
Great ride. How did you get home? New Jersey water front in this area is much nicer than I expected.
Looks kind of scary. Cycling where u are. I'm an Amateur Boxer and I like Cycling. I'm planning to move hopefully to the Bronx for full-time work.
👉these towers bridge are so iconic!!! Is that the only bridge to nj right?
im currently living vicariously through your walking videos because im stupidly sheltered and have anxiety. i am romanticizing what its like to be normal for once.
47:12 - I wonder if Tom Delgado (tomdnyc) knows about Delgado Travel...?
Wow! You're out of the cast? And you're already up for this kind of a trip? (just starting the video but I'm happy for you) Hope you're not overdoing it.
Lol just saw this video is from 4 years ago.....I didn't think you'd be up for something like this so soon.....

From April to June the leafs turn GREEN & thick in Central Park fast.
