Kensington on Bike - what not to do

Kensington on Bike - what not to do

Here is a video Jole came across that someone took of Kensington by bike.  They don't actually get to Kensington until a few minutes in, coming from Borough Park on 13th Avenue. Enter around Bergament, go down Church, then turn on Ocean - hardly here at all.

While a great idea in general, the video gives you no real sense for the neighborhood, and made me fear for the rider's life every second of the way - they show exactly why everyone needs to be more educated about cycling, riders included.  Maybe folks should be tested on this to see how many things they get right?

Lastly - it is kind of ironic that at the very end when they turn on Ocean Parkway, they don't use what is the oldest bike lane in the country!
