Great story, with gas prices the way they are mass transit is a must!

Did anyone notice that that car driver was using the bus lane/HOV?

Great film. Excellent concept. We need more healthy competition like this to demonstrate the superiority of bikes.

But where was the helmet on that bicyclist?! Come on! Biking in NYC without a helmet?! Forget muggers?! Shame on that cyclist for demonstrating such irresponsible behavior.

Cool. But I do want to point out that you need to factor in the carbon footprint of manufacturing all these forms of transportation, no? Or, as they all need to be manufactured, does it balance out?

They need to calculate how many times people get mugged in their car or while riding a bike vs. the subway.

Great film! Didn't know about this competition until this year. Luckily now I count on the Streetfilms crew to keep me informed and entertained. While I'm glad the cyclist won, I'm also happy Emmanuel and April didn't let Jamie's victory "crush their souls." April did sum it up pretty nicely at the end - She would have been a lot happier if she had ridden her bike.

but what they didn't include in their calculation was the value of the transit riders' ability to do other things while riding the train with her fellow new yorkers - such as improve her vocabulary and mental dexterity by doing a crossword puzzle, or raise her gpa by doing extra-credit homework, save time by applying her makeup or eating her morning muffin, gain enlightenment through silent meditation or even lighten the mood of her fellow passengers by singing them a little song or reading them a poem. to say nothing of the incalculable value of sartorial expressions of style, the simple pleasure of a shared smile and the promise of romance with the cutie sitting across from her! all that, for only $2! what a bargain!

Has somebody filmed one of these in Portland yet? I've heard of them happening, I just haven't seen them filmed like this yet.

Nice video friends. Great work!
