Wow, that Park Place station is rough. I once did this on my bike. My girlfriend and I were leaving a film on the Upper West Side and heading to 14th st so I took my bike while she took the train. I thought I had missed her completely after waiting quite some time and hearing numerous trains pass, but had actually beat the train by more than five minutes.

I love the very end of the video where a person walks into the background of the shot, realizes they don’t want to be on camera and changes course, only to be picked up again by a change in camera angle. D’oh!
