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.

I think we should keep them out of America, too.

Can't "keep" them out of somewhere they already are.

@pruwybn As I explained when I quoted this, our trucks genuinely weren't always massive like this, neither were our cars in general. I'm using this example because it's just on my brain right now, but a stock S10 from any year they were made in the US, is going to be significantly smaller than a stock Colorado you can pick up off the lot right now.

Don't be stupid and subsidize the shit out of monster trucks and you'll continue not having them.

but in the situation that you do, make sure that you ostracize and shame anybody who has one

Actually we just need to ban that shit. There are multiple reasons but I'm not in the mood for reasoning. Ban it outright across the EU.

I have a close friend that drives an F150 like the one in the thumbnail. I give him relentless shit for it. The only guy I don't give shit to is the one who uses it to tow boats on a daily basis.

Europe just doesn't understand how much overcompensation those things will haul.
