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.

Having lived in US (NJ, great weather for biking!) and NL (that I left partially because the weather was too depressing) - yep, weather doesn’t mean shit when choosing transportation modes

Bad weather doesn't exist, only bad clothing. It's about perspective, I have come to believe.

Det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlig klær.

Good to learn yet another version of the same saying and how most countries agree...

Es gibt kein schlechtes Wetter, nur schlechte Kleidung.

usually followed by

Du bist doch nicht aus Zucker.

Es gibt kein schlechtes Wetter, nur schlechte Kleidung.

But the Norsk saying is rhyming.

Dat is niet bijzonder, in het Nederlands rijmt het ook:

Er is geen slecht weer, alleen slechte kleren.

In short term, I agree. So deciding transportation falls in that category. On long term, constant get and rain does impact your mood. After years of getting worse and worse seasonal depression I just gave up and moved to literally sunnier lands

People can of course have a preference of weather/temperature, however, the 'bad' weather in the Netherlands is often exaggerated.

And I have called rain 'bad weather' as well, but it took a change in perspective to see that rain is neither good nor bad (it is just a logical consequence of our ecosystem). I now enjoy the occasional rain shower or overcast days.
