An attempt to recreate the /r/NotJustBikes community on Lemmy. I'm just reserving the Community Name, other folks (for instance the /r/NotJustBikes mods?) are welcome to take over.
NOTE: This sublemmy (?) is in no way related to or affiliated with NotJustBikes, Jason Slaughter, etc.
#RULES
1. Be nice. Please.
I know it's the internet, but be nice. And report trolls & spammers.
2. No memes
No memes, image macros, or low-effort posts. These are easily upvoted, but they pollute the subreddit very quickly.
POSTING MEMES WILL RESULT IN A TEMPORARY BAN.
3. 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..
4. No Trolling
Go troll somewhere else. We don't need that shit here.
5. 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.
6. No vehicular cycling
I have no patience for advocates of vehicular cycling. You can talk about vehicular cycling, but if you promote it as an alternative to safe bike infrastructure, I will ban you. You can post that crap somewhere else.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. No internet drama
Don't spread or promote drama over what has happened on the Internet. You're spending too much time online: go touch grass.

We have 35.000 kilometers of bike lanes and it’s pretty much all interconnected. But you have to start somewhere, we didn’t get here overnight either.
This was announced in 2021, but I don't know how the current state of this project his. Moreover, since changing the streets in the city would be nearly impossible (traffic, locals against road works even if it's improving their quality of life, we Italians are moronic about these themes) I'm afraid those "bike lanes" will be something like this.
This is the sort of competition we need, and it goes to show how incredibly cheap cycling infrastructure is compared to car infrastructure.
They're going to try to get it done in 13 years? That's impressive!
Our regional cycling plan has historically added 1 to 11km of new cycling infrastructure every year... under 40km of new cycling infrastructure from 2012 to 2019. 😵 Milan put up nearly that many temporary cycling lanes in 2020 alone!
Amazing. Montreal has built 900 km over the past decade and it's changed it for the better.
They also need to build way more public transport. In one of the most corrupt European countries though? I wish them good luck!
