Ha, ha, I got you! Your shoes aren't untied. They don't even have laces! They've got some kind of Velcro® and ratcheting closure system.
Stupid Freds.
Also, so that my francophone readers can join in the fun, here's that entire prank again in French:
"Fait attention, votre chaussures sont champignons!"
Votre vie est un illusion grand.
("La poisson est mort.")
Et maintenant, c'est fini.
Wow, I'm really depressed now.
Now that we've gotten out of the way, I regret to tell you that circumstances once again dictate my furnishing you with something of a truncated post. You know, vicissitudes of life and all that. By way of a palliative, I had made two (2) videos for you yesterday using my Fly6 camera, both of which I was going to post today. One of these videos was me riding over the Brooklyn Bridge during the day, and the other was me riding over the Manhattan Bridge at night. See, the Brooklyn Bridge is old-timey and encrusted with tourists, and the Manhattan Bridge is industrial-looking and rumbly. It was all about artistic juxtaposition and mise-en-scène* and all that. Also, both videos were boring as Levi Leipheimer riding a neutralized Tour stage, but this is America, where ultimately quantity trumps quality.
*[I don't know what that is.]
ANYWAY, I went through all of the trouble of uploading and editing both of these boring-ass videos to a popular Internet video hosting website, only to have the aforementioned website totally mute the Brooklyn Bridge video because there's a Michael Jackson impersonator at the foot of the bridge and he's performing to the song "Beat It," which you can hear in the background:
I'm pretty sure incidental capture of a portion of a song being played by a street performer falls under "fair use," and I've disputed it because I have nothing better to do with my life, but in the meantime I'm inspired by the knowledge that our publicly-traded companies go to such great lengths to protect the copyrights of great Americans like Michael Jackson.
Presumably armed drones will be coming for the street performer next.
Of course, the Manhattan Bridge video at night is even more boring than the Brooklyn Bridge video, what with having no street performers in it and all, so here it is in all its soporific glory:
If nothing else, it shows that the Fly6 works passably at night.
ANYWAY, sorry to leave you while I flit hither and thither, but I'll be back tomorrow in all my soporific glory, and in the meantime be vigilant because it's April Fools and everything you read today is a lie. (Which, if you think about it, is no different than the rest of the year, when everything you read is a lie.)
I love you,
--Wildcat Rock Machine

Hey hey
Watching the video backwards reminded me of the intro to Police Squad!. (Yes I'm that old).
Dude! Too early!

Le chapeau!just kidding! Your barn door's open! April Fools!
The red light swirling around is very hypnotizing. I'm sure I must follow some command now. I think I missed the command. "By your command"
Top ten!!!! Back to bed
Damn...haven't even time to scratch ones scranus in the morning any more.
love the rivibikes ad!
It pains me to take part in this pathetic ritual for top spots on the Fred podium but what the hell.... Top 10, from Osaka Japan.
I feel dirty and cheapened, but somehow satisfied
Early doors, damn
Zut, quelle horreur!
How the f*** did anyone at Y**T*** figure out that B*** I* was being squawked in the background?
Thanks for the brooding existentialism, today of all days.
Insert tiresome sexual innuendo here.

With the red swirling light effect, can you please add audio that I think of as "French police siren?" Thanks.
Avril Levigne!
JB - that'd be tocsin, tocsin

Snob must have school conferences today for his seventeen (17) children.
Rounding out the top 20.
If you cue up that Avicii song in a second tab then play it along with the Cat6 footage it works. The music plays nice with that rotating red glow.
Well at least as good as any hipster rides bike for seven minutes youtube video can.
Somebody remind me to take the pump off my bike when I park it. Oh, wait, some prankster already did. April Fool's indeed. (And yes, I'm the Fool who left it there without chaining it to everything, but still -- woe unto thieves.)
Maybe the thief was a covetous rnerybo
This statement is false.
Voilà Fête
You should add a little narration to your videos, Snob. Let us know how you're feeling, say hi to passing Freds, yell at the dogs, etc.
That sure is an ugly bridge, however it is a:

Tilfords got the Eriksen built. Its got nice welds. Crazy nice.
Also crotch talk.

I remember a bike blogger who shit all over strava...why record a gps of your ride when you can just experience the ride...now he's going gaga off his fly6 (aka the ass-backwards-cam
What is this, the fuckin Marines? 3 tens of comments before I even dranque my coffee.
Hey your MILF is le untied.
JK.....she is still cinched to the main mast.
O the stalwart brave-hearted souls at YouTube and their copyright protection crusade on behalf of some big-ass company. How about protecting my PRIVACY, bitches?
OK the circular red swirling motion constitutes one reason to maybe not combine a camera with a taillight. It's like it was filmed by a cop. Who was running away from shit instead of chasing it. Very confusing.

Reminds me of my childhood vacation to florida. A two day preveiw of the return trip that I would not see since I would be getting the sight or what everyone else saw on the way there. Yes, I am THAT old.
56 degrees out right now. Sunshine bounty to be had. Am I out in it?
No. I'm hiding from work on this blog. FML.
Yay for the first outside ride of 2014 yesterday evening though! Woo-hoo!
Also - hills hurt more than a trainer. Just sayin'
What's with all these fucking vicissitudes of life, and all that.
L'etat, c'est moi.
I love you, too
...umm... you inadvertently posted your time crossing the manhattan bridge. now strava freds will be doning their tights and beating your time and posting it.
Today, I felt like telling every one of the horde of crocus-jacketed bicycular commuters I saw that I had been out there all this blasted winter. However, decided they might think I was a compulsive fool with a particularly lame way of impressing himself and held my peace.
watch it this way

I want a backwards crotchpost camera now, so I can upload useless videos to distant computer farms cooled by arctic ice can burn coal to keep them.
Broiled eshgis
everything you read today is a lie. Thanks for the paradox.
Speaking of copyright infringement, at a certain point in the video I got a flashback of the opening credits to the TV show 'Taxi'.
You know the part where they show the taxi driving over the Queensboro bridge (fuck Ed Koch), and then when the camera pans away you realize that the video is in an endless loop and the taxi really isn't getting anywhere (yes! metaphor!!). No? Yeah, me neither.
We're all going to get laid!

Yep, pretty bloody boring video alright, except for the parts where your shadow sprints out of the saddle to overtake your, repeatedly. You better start training cause that guy is making you look like a plonker.
I want my money back.
beat it; indeed....
Le Wildsomething Something Machine, luckily nobody on a Specialized rode past you while crossing le Manhattan Bridge or else that video would have been removed also. Actually it may still be taken down - your taillight appears to be infringing upon their trademark of le color red. The armed private security drones are overhead.
By the way, your bridge is longer than my main street (no sexual innuendo intended).
That picture of the fish - I want some sushi now, dammit. And to go fishing. Ugh, just get me out of this office! 82 and sunny here in Columbia ,SC!

I too like the parts of the video where you are being repeatedly overtaken by your shadow. I'm sure there is a metaphor in that. Also, I like near the end when you cunningly evaded the cops, who were no doubt after you for breaking the speed limit (minimum) over the bridge. All in all not bad, I've seen indy films with less of a plot.

I really enjoyed your video: something in between Jonas Mekas and Hill Street Blues.
My shoe actually was untied. Thank you.
and of course
Genius, Roille. The one for Mikeweb fits perfectly.
The camera was producing a singularity whereby you were being chased by Brett's (Time Traveling TriDork / not Brett from the Horton Collection) dark matter particles. Had you achieved Woo Hoo Hoo Speed, you would have seen him pass you in full yellow and black colorway (I don't know hof to italicize on this thing).

Spokey, the real question is: how do you get it to print the italics code without it following the code? [head explodes]
I just bought a used CAAD9 with Ultegra off a freakishly tall guy to use as my crap weather and commuting bike, does this make me a douche? Should I enrol in dental school? You get to play with the nitrous gas, right?

Proof that Spokey is Ed Snowden.

might be right. I understanding is Snowden isn't that clever (showing how bad fed computer security really is). I've been told I'm not that clever.
There are also those who claim that you've never seen the two of us in the same place at the same time.

Alas, youdubber is blocked at the work.
Hey, Cleveland @ 815: "Hey, hey" is what Harry Caray used to say in Chicago, not in Cleveland. In Cleveland it's more common to hear "Hey, the Cayahoga River is on fire again".
Good "Taxi" call, mikeweb...maybe the Fly6 video could serve as the intro to an BSNYC-inspired sitcom. Let me place a call to that network executive I know, a Mr...

Ha! April Fools! Now you'll get spam from all 643 magazines from Rodale Press. And the best part? You have to unsubscribe from each magazine offer separately. But don't worry, they'll spread it out so that you'll be getting spammed for years.
I'll just leave this right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wn-MlISDsNs
roille,
Those were great fun. You're an inspiration to us all.
Wait, it takes 7 minutes to ride over the Manhattan bridge? Definite sleep aid. You should ride over the Verrazano bridge and market the video as an insomnia cure. The Fly6 isn't just soporific, it's hypnotic.
Fred of the Sea - I was out at a commuterly hour today and was surprised to see how many people were using the bike lanes today. I'm happy to see so many different people on bikes these days, and especially so many more girls than before.
Commie. Forget about enrolling in school. You're probably an honorary dentist already. Just challenge the course, and take the test. Isn't your middle name Fred, or something?
The Best Lol n Troll Network - I want in on that.
What a lot of cunning linguists we have on the thread today. There was I thinking USAmericans were all monoglots.
Wow, Roille, awesome. I almost watched the whole of one of those vids, which is a first for me.
But you NYers have cages on your bridges, bunch of wusses. Golden Gate ain't got no safety net - despite funds being voted for it years ago now...

Ugh, wi-fi black hole, sorry peeps
Long time reader, first time commenter. About saying, "On ur left side" on the trails, I adopted the, "down the middle, down the middle" phrase, of course saying it in a rude manner, this way the gray hairs don't forget which side is left as they jump away from the center of the trail, opens a nice lane for me.
Lumpen Fred,
The cages are to protect cyclists from errant drivers. Suicidal New Yorkers just go to Dunkin Donuts and sit by the window.
Crosspalms... :D ++ heh heh
Neither <pre> nor <code> are acceptable tags for Blogger, so if you want to show HTML code here, you have to use ampersand escapes, as Spokey so adroitly demonstrated.
The self-referential parts of this post are entirely false.
thank you lumpenfred...mom told us to always lick the stamp, even if we can't deliver the letter.
Y'all didn't notice the train running alongside that darn Wildcat? That's the reason for the cage.
Golly, wouldya get hold-a-that, a train and a bike on bridge. If that don't beat all...
Ooh, I done <i> learnt sumthin today </i> Who'da thunk it?
Yeah Lumpen, if you put a cage on it, how in the heck are people gonna kill themselves? Or where? Not NYC I guess. Maybe from the bike lane on (what I understand is only PART OF? can you confirm?) the new Bay Bridge.
We cater to the bereaved, the thirsty broke, and the

Get fucked!
"Ampersand escapes" is something that should not even exist, let alone be published in a family friendly blog such as this.
But never mind that, please tell me why the preview robot says; "Your HTML cannot be accepted: Tag is not closed: I"
Joyeux poisson d'Avril.

Thanks for another great post! Happy April fools - Jack
The tinfoil layer that covers my helmet thwarts the government from reading what my brain is thinking. Are all those 'cell phone' relay towers REALLY for cell phones?!!! I think not. Right now I'm busy wrapping my bike in Duck Tape so they can't track me on radar. It's gonna have stealth capabilities don't you... Wait! There's a coded message coming through the static on my t.v. screen. I must go now.
Boring, boring, geez you're boring. I can't wait until tomorrow's post just so that I can confirm how boring you are. I h8 u.
I like to wrap my ducks in duct tape, then I wrap my ducts in duck tape.
Of course! Duck Tape brand is from too big a corporation. They must be IN on the conspiracy too. I'll start rewrapping with a generic product right now. So much to do... so much to do...
I wrap my dick in duct tape.
"Fait attention, votre chaussures sont champignons!"
"Poisson D'Avril!!!"

For those who care about this kind of thing, New Yorkers (or New Jersey-ers) have to get to the GW bridge to kill themselves. As a bonus, they have the choice of jumping off, or hopping over the other short fence and stepping in front of a semi on the upper roadway.

Mikeweb,
It's cute how people from other cities don't realize how many suspension bridges we have that are at least, if not more, awesomely suicidal than the Golden Gate.

I wrap my dick in duct tape.
Factoid: duck tape should not be used on home heating ducts, but home Deport sells duck tape in the heating ducts section and labels it as "duct tape".
That also explains the seedy women hanging out in the gardening section beside the hoes.
