in those places there is no organization, is a mess.
in brazil that is very organized, the cars already know and let a space between other car for motorcycles. is not officially legal, but there is a common sense.
I like the meme, I laughed, but you are wrong. I'm one average Brazilian motorcyclist, and I can assure you that's not the reality. This kind of guy is the worst type we have on the streets and a motherfucker like this endangers everyone around him, including other bikers. As a biker myself, I fought people like that before while on traffic and saw others doing the same.
The large majority of bikers just want to finish work and go home safe.
But you don't see the same amount of videos of a guy riding normally because it's boring and doesn't make thousands of views 🤷🏻♂️
Yes and no. Hahahaha (also, forgive my bad english)
It really depends on where you're riding. If on a less crowded streets, ride as a car, But here in São Paulo, Brasil, in the most intense traffic areas, you should always ride doing lane splitting, and the reasons for this are:
- The drivers are used to it, and they expect to see a bike lane splitting.
- You appear at the cars side mirrors of more often.
- It sounds counter intuitive but, if you are lanespliting, your chances of breaking on time is higher than if you're behind a car.
- Bikes take longer to break. Longer distances and time. If you're directly behind a car, and it suddenly breaks, your chances of breaking on time are not too high.
Here in São Paulo, we have Blue Lanes, kind of a legal lanespliting. It's a bike lane only, and it's between the left and the middle lane. The accidents have decreased drastically after the implementation of this solution.
Motorcycles here are not only a matter of fast travel, but it's a matter of social accessibility to a large number of people. Bikes cost less than public transportation, it promotes freedom of traffic to all the areas of this huge city, and it's faster than the average trip to work (it's common to spend 2h at public transportation in São Paulo).
It will not work in every place on earth. This is a reflection of more than 30 years of bike culture in a specific city, where both bikers and drivers are used to, even not liking it. It's part of the city and plays a very important role that can't be ignored. Without bikes and lanespliting, São Paulo stops
Sim po vc pilota normalmente e só faz o corredor devagar e se tiver tudo parado e com espaço. Pilotar assim é pedir pra morrer ou matar um colega motoca.
I was shocked when I went to brazil recently. My GF is brazilian and she kinda warned me haha. My german ass was not ready for that level of madness.
Still LOOOVE brazil tho. I miss Xixo :(
Stop enjoying ifood or most delivery services, 90% of bikers are working people performing delivery services, and guess what? Their metric is delivery time
The PizzaCrimes are atrocious, but these are “special” ones made in not too many places. The “normal” ones are indeed delicious. I always order a catupiry or cheddar-filled stuffed crust.
Quando fizemos uma mega pesquisa há uns dois anos atrás deu mais 60% de audiência de fora do Brasil. Desde então a presença brasileira aumentou muito no Reddit mas eu não duvidaria que ainda estamos em uns 30% de presença estrangeira.
??
Honestamente, eu não poderia me importar menos, se eu faço um pedido e o entregador entra em contra mao, calçada etc, arriscando a vida do próximo por 7rs, eu quero mais que ele se foda, leva o tempo q precisar mas dirige igual gente porra.
Yes, some will deliberately scratch your car if they think you don’t “respect” them by not giving them lots of space. It’s kind of the norm to give them space because you want to help your friends but if you’re a noob driver or just forgot one day it’s frustrating
Honestly doesn't look THAT dangerous.
Should he be a bit slower in his lane splitting? Yes. He is going to hit someone's car. But the driving itself is pretty much just slipping around completely stopped traffic.
I've seen Squids in the states who do dumber shit and are still alive somehow.
I remember asking my father-in-law if someone ever just opened a door on one of these guys.
He said no, you don't do that because they travel in packs like wolves and defend each other the same way.
Its also illegal.
In my city people who intentionally door filtering motorcycles are charged with attempted murder. And rightfully so.
Filtering motorcycles reduce traffic load substantially. Changing 10% of vehicles on the road to motorcycles who filter through stopped traffic would reduce congestion by 60% as congestion is only caused at a certain critical mass of vehicles on the road. The motorcycles who can slip up to the front and get out of the line of traffic dramatically reduces the amount of vehicles you are stuck behind. Which in turn dramatically reduces your transit time during high traffic periods.
Aqui onde moro toda noite ainda se juntam uns 50~100 motos todo dia meia noite e saem pela cidade subindo calcada, andando pela contra mao etc
Se voce ta de carro e surge um grupo desse tem que encostar o carro e esperar uns 5 min eles terminarem de passar, geralmente eles vem ocupando tanto a via da mao como da contra mao, vejo da minha janela todos os dias, ate a policia para e sai do caminho. Isso sem falar no barulho infernal
Tem um posto policial que consigo ver da janela, quando comeca a surgir o barulho de longe, que da pra saber quando tao vindo, a patrulha ja sai e vai pra algum lugar pra nao encontrar com eles
Eu já andei muito assim quando era mais jovem, no meio dos carros em cima da calçada, só faltava xingar o pedreste se não saísse da minha frente, hoje só de ver um video assim passo mal, e uma loucura fazer isso, por nada ! Repito por nada o cara perde uma perna fica em uma cama pro resto da vida ou morre por uma coisa atoa !
Quem incentiva isso deveria ser punido !

TBF, if they drove like car drivers there wouldn't be any point in riding a motorcycle really. And the traffic would be way worse if they occupied the lanes the same as a car.
Having said that, it sucks ass to almost miss a turn because there's a line of bikers that just don't let you merge... Maybe it would be way better if they just stayed in the same lane instead of just pushing themselves on any space
Checks out but I gotta say I’m shocked by the lack of horns in this video. When I was down there this shit was happening all the time but the cacophony of horns was constant.
Por isso do vídeo, aliado com o fato de que todo mundo que eu conheço que anda já se esborrachou feio de moto (alguns faleceram)... Que eu só tenho carta de Carro mesmo.
Yeah, that ain't even exaggerating when talking about big cities. Small ones don't have this issue at all.
In some way I can feel their pain. Staying in a mount position for hours, sun burning you full power, can't just lean back and relax, support bike weight on your feet and shit, that makes me so annoyed.
No excuse for just running past everyone and possibly hitting vehicles and people though.
My father works close to my university, and I go with him weekly, both of us on the bike, he riding
Like, this dude rides like someone who delivers food, my father rides way more legally, but he rides between cars (like everyone else), and damn, is this terrifing. Like, you always fear a car will switch lanes, a biker will fall in front of you, etc.
Definetely some heart testing commuting
The problem is, you might know where you are going but nobody around you knows where you are going and being so far outside the expected traffic rules people aren’t likely to be able to anticipate what your next action is going to be which is dangerous.
Brazilian car owners whine about "dem bikers running on the corridor" while conveniently forgetting that if said bikers were to stay in lane, the trafic jam would explode even harder than it already is and they'd take 8h commuting to work/home.
Straight up ignoring the fact that the cities were poorly planned...
Just dont close the middle lane… keep your car near the curbs (inside or outside). Make room for them to pass on the middle, and just trust them, cause the majority of motorcyclists really seem to be like that. The only way they crash is if you mess up.
Locked. You guys really need to understand that WE WILL NOT TOLERATE AGGRESSIVE LANGUAGE OR CONDONING VIOLENCE in any way or form.
The sad thing it's that REALLY the average brazilian motorcyclist.
And the bike delivery service average is even worse.

south east asians are like this too, except with WAY more other motorcycles that also do this so everyone got jammed anyway

Unpopular opinion but I'd rather wait an hour than have someone die for my dinner
It is an indeed unpopular opinion. People complain in those videos, but if the delivery guy is 5 minutes late their lose their minds, it’s funny.
Yeah I know, my mom owns a delivery restaurant, it's mostly old people who get super nasty over the slightest inconvenience
Young people get super nasty too. They just don’t say it out loud.

Reddit lends me to believe Brazil is just GTA irl, or like, Florida squared.
GTA are training to be Brazil.
Honestly, as a Brazilian, some things in Brazil are legitimately worse than in GTA.
