OK this has to be one of my favourite #NotJustBikes videos yet.

It articulates so well what I've been feeling in North American cities. And the mental map stuff at the end? Made me realize THAT was why I felt disoriented when I first moved to NA!! Sure "it's a grid", and "it's easy", but... there's no #places!! 🤯

What makes some urban places great but others ... not? A "sense of place" is part of equation.

To learn more, check out my latest video, now available on Nebula and Patreon.

And yes, I know I show Antwerpen and say Brugge. I'm going to fix it before release. 😂

Another awesome ClimateTown video, this time on how dumb and arbitrary parking space requirements are.

#ClimateTown #urbanDesign #NotJustBikes

Great video from Climate Town on Parking Minimums in the U.S.

While a lot of it will be familiar to urbanists and transportation advocates, I appreciated the screenshots of the ITE Parking Generation Manual, and the dive into the unscientific roots of parking minimums.

The TLDW is that a few places guessed at what made sense, and then other places copied without evaluating outcomes.

First the Spongebob meme (and his refusal to even acknowledge that it was hurtful), and now a cheap dyslexia gag in his cameo on the latest Climate Towns video. #NotJustBikes really has gone all-in on the ableism, hasn't he?

@rugggg I wrote a blog post on the best bike commuting apps, going into algorithm/UX/routing details! It should still be mostly up to date.

@tomflood Have you noticed this organisation tracking advertising _against_ truckzillas?

> Join the 360+ Marketing, PR, Advertising and Media professionals and 80+ organisations that have declared for the climate.

> However, as this report shows, banning advertising for the most oversized vehicles is also a sensible and achievable method of reducing emissions.

Alright #bicycle commuters of the #Fediverse , what do you use to plan your routes through cities that may not be the most bike friendly? Trying to find the best bike commute route for me #transit #notjustbikes #bikecommute

The Not Just Bikes YouTube channel (also on Nebula) has become one of my top things. Like Dawkins on evolution, the late Christopher Hitchens on the problems with religion, Stewart Lee for comedy, etc. This guy is the top and I agree the hell out of everything he says. It should be made compulsory viewing for all legislators and planners everywhere until public transport and infrastructure in the UK (and the poor old USA!) improves.

Just read a pamphlet from our health institutions in Sweden for newborns. They filled a whole page about air pollutions especially for newborns where they especially point out air in parking garages are so hazardous it will affect the newborns lungs for when they grow old. What have we built ourselves into...

It's time for the truth to come out. I never liked cities, it was all a grift.

And now that I have a million subscribers I can finally buy a truck and move to suburbia.

Checkmate, urbanists!

The financial burden of car ownership that has been imposed on Americans with the built environment is such an obvious scam once you have a way to travel a couple miles while carrying stuff and not have to break a sweat, you can't unsee it. #cargoBikes #eBikes #notJustBikes but #DoBikesBeforeTransitDuh

Really great video about bycicle infrastructure in Oslo and how road construction guidelines can change things for the good or worse. I hope that the good examples from the Netherlands, Denmark and Norway will be implemented more often across Europe and that pedestrians and cyclists get the priority in cities.

The route along the beach has finally been completed. It looks and rides wonderfully.
And I frigging love those solar & wind lampposts. The turbines look a bit cheap, but this will make the ride to Jaywick so much easier.

I got my baby back after a week. They haven't completed all the work because certain brake cables haven't turned up yet, probably not till next week.

But gods it rides so much better now. Bearings and gears properly cleaned, new chain and all.

Think I'll treat myself to a new pannier rack and handle grips.
