Not Just Bikes

An attempt to recreate the /r/NotJustBikes community on Lemmy. I'm just reserving the Community Name, other folks (for instance the /r/NotJustBikes mods?) are welcome to take over.

NOTE: This sublemmy (?) is in no way related to or affiliated with NotJustBikes, Jason Slaughter, etc.

#RULES

1. Be nice. Please.

I know it's the internet, but be nice. And report trolls & spammers.

2. No memes

No memes, image macros, or low-effort posts. These are easily upvoted, but they pollute the subreddit very quickly.

POSTING MEMES WILL RESULT IN A TEMPORARY BAN.

3. Stay on topic

Try to stick to posts and comments related to the themes of NJB videos, or content creation. Things like urban planning, mobility & transportation, social equity, Dutch culture, etc..

4. No Trolling

Go troll somewhere else. We don't need that shit here.

5. No comment screenshots

Please don't post screenshots of stupid comments as a post. We all know there are ignorant morons online, we don't need to bring even more attention to their stupid comments.

6. No vehicular cycling

I have no patience for advocates of vehicular cycling. You can talk about vehicular cycling, but if you promote it as an alternative to safe bike infrastructure, I will ban you. You can post that crap somewhere else.

7. No people being hit by cars/road violence

Do not show videos or pictures of people being hit by cars, or other road violence. We don't need to see that shit. We know cars are dangerous, and many people have bad memories of car crashes. Keep it out of this subreddit.

8. No tone policing

We don't need any more tone police. If you don't like the tone that Not Just Bike takes in his videos, there's a very easy solution: stop watching them.

9. No internet drama

Don't spread or promote drama over what has happened on the Internet. You're spending too much time online: go touch grass.

Videos idea: disabled transport in netherlands, how do people move around when they cannot cycle.

Since one of the major copium people have about car dependency is disabled people/elderly have a hard time riding bike. Yet, in reality, it is much more expensive/dangerous to put a disabled/elderly in a car than public transport or a electric wheel chair than in a car.

On the other hand, I am also curious whether a electric wheelchair will congest the bike lane, given the bike lane is kind of narrow.

NJB already featured the tiny four-wheeled car thingy that people use for exactly this. Idk which video exactly, but it's there for anyone to comb through.

Being orange-pilled is painful in situations like this; you know the exact thing the Dutch already figured out but unless you have the exact video ID and timestamp on the ready you'd have a hard time pushing back the cope-ists. Even the ones that insists there's no way these people are mobilizing outside of public transport.

One of the shots in this very video has one of those.

It's bound to be in any video, but there's one where he talks about it.

We also have this figured it out in Canada too. In Montréal these things are bomb around year-round:

Edit: code-18 attaching the image.

Edit 2: erroneously assumed others were Canadian. Just because Jason rags on Fake London all the time, doesn't mean I should assume other are aware our intricacies.

I think it may, but not by much really... Cargobikes and the style of bike commonly used in the netherlands has handlebars that are pretty wide already.
