In Neistat Brothers style, Yogurt Vs Gasoline documents a race through Manhattan from the Upper East Side to Lower Manhattan between the filmmakers, Van and Casey Neistat. Van rides a 1974 Schwinn roadster down the Hudson River Greenway, fueled by a dollar’s worth of yogurt, while Casey rides a Ducati motorcycle through Manhattan gridlock, fueled by gasoline and the coffee and cigarettes he had for breakfast. If you’ve spent any time biking or driving in NYC you already know who finishes first, but enjoy the film’s lighthearted reminder.
The Neistat Brothers have also proved riding a bike through the Holland tunnel can be faster than driving, though not legal nor encouraged. And 31,000 calories, the amount of energy in a gallon of gasoline, will get you a whole lot further on a bicycle than in a car, the equivalent of 633 miles per gallon.
