Remember when websites were just some html and pictures and text with some background? Maybe some gifs?

@notjustbikes This feels like satire.

@notjustbikes I just wonder why it is in English. Maybe surprisingly but a lot of people who live in Amsterdam do speak Dutch.
I'm afraid only tourists and expats will fill in this survey...

@notjustbikes Bedankt!

@petrescatraian I don't have any plans to visit the Balkans at this time, but if I do, I need to have a reason to visit.

Nobody wants to watch a video where I complain about all the things wrong with a place they've never been to. I would prefer to focus on something that is done well, and then mention some of the things they could do better.

@notjustbikes great, I don't know what iDeal is and giropay is being phased out by the end of the year

Okay, I overreacted. Mistake, not malevolence. Sorry for that. I still have to wonder: how is it possible that a mistake in the referral url changes the product? I guess it says something about me that I am unwilling to give companies the benefit of the doubt, but I've seen too many dark patterns to do so.

@MrLee there's a book called The Sprawl Repair Manual that I always wanted to make a video about, but I couldn't get the copyrights to the images.

https://sprawlrepair.com/home/

In part of it, the author talks about how to turn suburban malls into town centres, and then connect them together (and to downtown) by transit.

I think this is the best hope that suburbia has got.

Trying to urbanise the giant stroads of suburbia is basically a non-starter. There are so many other low-hanging fruits.

Perfect, and rings true:

"The best thing that can happen is that they die a natural death and, in doing so, create a minimal amount of harm to the community. That's ultimately how this is fixed."

@notjustbikes Is it true that most urbanists have better knowledge of cars than average regular drivers? There are so many things people are missing when they are driving, which makes me feel weird.
Your wonderful SUV-bashing video pushed me into a weird rabbit hole about what kinds of cars are in the streets and which kinds of driver behaviour are bad. Turns out there are so many mad people on the road that I was not previously aware of, some of them leaving signs in their cars that can be seen when the car is parked.
For example, I have seen more than one car with stickers on the rear windshield, or something is behind the rear windshield, mostly plushies. This indicates the driver is not using the rear view mirror. Outrageous.

@notjustbikes I haven't accessed the links on that page to answer my questions, but feel free to do so.

Be careful with the multi mooners, though. Oftentimes, they are maniacs.

One can usually find bs on their main page, e. g.:
'Superheavy Elements Are Breaking the Periodic Table'
'These Gray Whales Are Shrinking and Scientists Aren’t Sure Why'

Thanks, NJB! The Urbanist Agenda has been one of my favorite podcasts to listen to this year and I'm always thrilled when new episodes drop

@riderexmachina @GarethDennis thank you!

@notjustbikes @GarethDennis the level boarding is excellent in Japan because as you said it is just faster and also there’s an accessibility law. The most visible is the yellow block in train stations and streets. Also every station must accommodate wheelchair therefore elevators are added or wheelchair side ramp in stairs are installed. Staff put a tmp ramp (even with level boarding) and a staff is waiting at the destination. Have enough staff helps.

It’ll come back to you. It’s like riding a bicycle. :ablobgrin:

notjustbikes OP , vor 25 Tagen

I live in Europe. I experience Europe. I go back to Canada once a year to see family.

That's not "eurocentric", those are my regular lived experiences.

I am not going to travel out of Europe (and Canada) regularly.

That's not not a realistic thing financially, but it's also completely irresponsible from a climate perspective, and wouldn't be fair to my family either.

And it bugs me because these comments show absolutely no respect for me, or the creative process behind my videos.

notjustbikes OP , vor 25 Tagen (Bearbeitet vor 25 Tagen)

@publixpace it's legitimately hilarious how I still get comments (and even emails!) from people who feel the need to "correct" me on my flags in my "winter cycling" video.

As if I wouldn't know the flags of Belgium and the Netherlands when I've lived in both countries.

Or how I could somehow use the wrong flag from Wikipedia when the country name is literally in the filename.

The best part is that they only ever notice one and don't realise that the other one is wrong, too. 🤣

@notjustbikes i've watched a bunch of Life Where I'm From videos since you had him on The Urbanist Agenda so i was primed for Tokyo being big, and not really a city, but a conglomerate of cities, but 3 million people per day going thru one transit hub is mind blowing.

@notjustbikes Just watched it. Those are insane numbers 🤯.

In Duitsland zijn het dan weer intrieste getallen: https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/kijk/2024/06/16/j13-trein-duitsland-mimir-d37d9628-df0c-48f9-94fd-155af0c311cc/

The sample was pulled from a 1999 song by Matthew Dear and Disco D entitled, "Hands Up For Detroit".

It's very clear in this version that the sample is "Our Lovely City."

So many cool little details and quirks.
I spent 5 minutes on Wikipedia after reading about women only carriages.
