New Orleans Geek Hunt

Apologies to you if you were the hunted.

NOLA Geek Hunt from Joey Brooks on Vimeo.

Joey Brooks lives in New Orleans and rides using techniques I can't endorse (this one isn't bad, but his rides in the city are pretty insane). Still.... his videos are fun to watch.

That was quite relaxing compared to his usual videos!

True, true.

I've been ruined. Never saw any "Joey" videos before tonight. One day soon, he'll zig when he should have zagged...

As a wannabe trigeek...that was fun!

Looking at some of Joey's other videos, it appears that if VC is "the Force," Joey's style is "the Dark Side."

You watch them, especially his instructional one, and he is very attuned to traffic behavior, lane positioning and situational awareness. He just uses that knowledge to facilitate ultimate scofflaw behavior. To him, that double yellow is a bike lane...

Uhhh... You mean to say that the double yellow line is NOT a bike lane because being in a position where no one cannot see me makes me feel special... as in free. Safety is an illusion like security, I'll take freedom and abandon over safety any day ;-)

Joey is with the Force strong isn't he!?!
