Comedian Proves a Child's Big Wheel is Faster than a NYC Bus

Mark Malkoff Video Stunt Premieres Today on www.MyDamnChannel.com

NEW YORK, April 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Comedian/Filmmaker/New Yorker Mark Malkoff set out to prove that a child's Big Wheel is faster than a NYC bus. He raced against an M42 bus in a one-mile trek across 42nd Street, from 10th Avenue to Madison Avenue while riding a child's Big Wheel. Malkoff beat the M42 bus, covering the distance in 12 minutes and 42 seconds at an average speed of 4.7 mph. The bus took 15 minutes and 20 seconds; averaging 3.9 mph.

Mark's video, "Big Wheel vs. Bus" debuts today on www.MyDamnChannel.com/MarkMalkoff.

Since riding on sidewalks is illegal in New York City, Malkoff was forced to race the bus in traffic. "The race made me feel like I was part Evil Knievel, part Lance Armstrong, and part Steve O."

According to data from the Straphangers Campaign, Malkoff piloting a Big Wheel at 4.7 mph would have beaten an additional six bus lines: the M14A (3.7 mph), the M66 (4.0 mph), the M79 (4.2 mph), the M32 (4.2 mph), the M34 (4.4 mph) and the M14D (4.5 mph).
