A Community for the Not Just Bikes YouTube & Nebula channel run by Jason Slaughter.

Official channels:

NOTE: This is an unofficial Community in no way affiliated with NotJustBikes or Jason Slaughter.

RULES

1. Be nice. Please.

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

2. 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..

3. No Trolling

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

4. 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.

5. No vehicular cycling

Jason has no patience for advocates of vehicular cycling, and neither do we. You can talk about vehicular cycling, but if you promote it as an alternative to safe bike infrastructure, you may be banned. You can post that crap somewhere else.

6. 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.

7. 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.

No, all of my points are "I experience this on a regular basis and you are lying". All of your points are strawmanning about how raincoats repel water while ignoring that they're hot as fuck, and how videos of a handful of people riding bikes in the rain in a city with limited car infrastructure disproves that it's uncomfortable, and you continually ignore mind-numbingly obvious evidence to the contrary.

Shade doesn't immediately make it not >100F with 90%+ humidity. Removing pavement doesn't remove all of the heat either, not to mention it turns the ground to mush at the first sign of precipitation. Everyone does not sweat the same. A coat doesn't suddenly make it warm and cozy when it's 17F outside. Having to plan your day and your clothing around the weather is going to impact your life. Only being outside for a half an hour doesn't suddenly mean you're immune to being impacted by the weather.

There is nowhere to go from here, because you're obviously not interested in an honest discussion or you would actually engage with my points instead of just repeating the same nonsense over and over.

I'm not lying, I'm describing my life to you. I believe you when you say your car centric city is miserable to walk around in. Why don't you believe me when I say my walkable city is walkable?
