The Oldest Street in Europe Not Just Bikes 2024-04-15 | I was in Athens so I decided to visit the oldest street in Europe, ΤΡΙΠΟΔΩΝ, and boy was I disappointed!The street is called "Tripodon", or "Τριπόδων" in Greek. The uppercase letters on the sign, "ΤΡΙΠΟΔΩΝ" look very different, but that's just because I don't understand Greek. The tripods along it were apparently trophies for performances at the theatre. I read on one site that the tripods were bronze and on another that they were copper. I went with bronze in the script because it sounds nicer, and bronze is made of copper anyway.This street was a big deal apparently, and lots of famous people would walk along it to the theatre, which is why we know about it from ancient times. Here's some more reading for you:greekreporter.com/2024/03/11/oldest-street-athens-europeathensbylocals.com/tripodon-oldest-street-in-athens

Canadas Racist Land Covenants #shorts #urbanplanning Not Just Bikes 2022-09-04 | Restrictive covenants are sometimes used to specify what a piece of land can be used for, so that the value and enjoyment of adjoining land will be preserved. However in the not-so-distant history, these clauses were used to define what race of people were permitted to purchase - or even visit - a certain piece of land. In Canada, these kind of covenants were challenged when a Jewish businessman from London, Ontario, wanted to purchase a property in Beach O' Pines, a private gated community of holiday homes in Ontario. This case eventually went all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada, and it was a major catalyst towards removing racist covenants and zoning in Canada.Noble v Alley Wikipedia summaryen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_v_AlleyNoble and Wolf vs Alley National Historic Event of Canada, London, Ontariowaymarking.com/waymarks/wm11X3Q_Noble_and_Wolf_vs_Alley_National_Historic_Event_of_Canada_London_OntarioBeach O'Pines - Google Mapsgoo.gl/maps/U1WeAQnZx8yvP4Pz5

Does Anyone Actually Cycle in Switzerland!? Not Just Bikes 2022-07-04 | Watch this video ad-free on Nebula: nebula.tv/videos/notjustbikes-does-anyone-actually-cycle-in-switzerlandI'm always being told that people won't cycle where it's hilly, and Switzerland is a pretty hilly country, so does anybody actually cycle there? Well, yes. In fact, there are several cities with a higher percentage of people who cycle than any city in North America. In this video, I visit Basel, Bern, Zürich, as well as one other lesser-known cycling city, to see exactly what it's like for people cycling in Switzerland.go.nebula.tv/notjustbikes to get a discounted subscription to Nebula (and support this channel, too)!Patreon: patreon.com/notjustbikesTwitter: twitter.com/notjustbikesReddit: reddit.com/r/notjustbikesOne-time donations: notjustbikes.com/donateNJB Live (my bicycle livestream channel):youtube.com/channel/UC9v57F4xz46KaDsvWfCv8ywHistorical photos of Amsterdamhttps://archief.amsterdam/beeldbank/detail/30cf3ead-b37b-5ab3-c8d2-b4d80b4e5cd8https://archief.amsterdam/beeldbank/detail/fb706261-7376-b04e-5f68-5b8f970a07bfhttps://archief.amsterdam/beeldbank/detail/1f661f8c-da05-01b2-c13d-2ecf6ef26020https://archief.amsterdam/beeldbank/detail/461f2dba-10e0-a98a-404e-054fe8bc3b9chttps://archief.amsterdam/beeldbank/detail/1dbb71c7-2c7d-49fc-cb51-f0f2ff23ff2ehttps://archief.amsterdam/beeldbank/detail/e90c8b43-6b46-fd5c-7dc0-e56b513ad182Hobbemakade 1991https://archief.amsterdam/beeldbank/detail/beda6224-faa0-a7a4-ccdc-c4aab399eac8When Zurich was known for Needle Parkyoutube.com/watch?v=3UYmaalotK0Cycling mode choice amongst US commuters: The role of climate and topographyjournals.sagepub.com/eprint/AT4RRDTCGMVF3TJJHUJK/fullThis video contains footage licensed from the Associated Press (AParchive.com) and Getty Images

And why is it that when we do build transit, it's struggles to gain riders? It all comes down to what surrounds that transit line.

Why We Wont Raise Our Kids in Suburbia Not Just Bikes 2022-06-06 | Of all the reasons why we moved to the Netherlands, the independence of children is probably the most important one.Watch this video ad-free on Nebula: nebula.tv/videos/notjustbikes-why-we-wont-raise-our-kids-in-suburbiaI originally made this video in the early days of my channel, back in 2020, but I became a lot better at making videos, and I was never really happy with the outcome of the first video I made on this topic. So I've done a re-make of this topic with a slightly shorter script, and a few more details of why we would never, ever want to raise our kids in suburbia.Sign up to Nebula and watch ad-free and sponsor-free: go.nebula.tv/notjustbikesPatreon: patreon.com/notjustbikesTwitter: twitter.com/notjustbikesReddit: reddit.com/r/notjustbikesOne-time donations: notjustbikes.com/donateNJB Live (my bicycle livestream channel):youtube.com/channel/UC9v57F4xz46KaDsvWfCv8yw---Additional Reading & References:Worlds of Influence - Understanding What Shapes Child Well-being in Rich CountriesUNICEFhttps://www.unicef.nl/files/Report%20Card%2016%20UNICEF_3%20sept_2020.pdfMontreal pedestrian deaths at highest level in 6 yearsglobalnews.ca/news/5382380/montreal-pedestrians-deaths-2018-highToronto appears to have hit a one-year high in pedestrian and cyclist fatalitiesthestar.com/news/gta/2018/12/07/toronto-appears-to-have-hit-a-one-year-high-in-pedestrian-and-cyclist-fatalities-over-40-per-cent-of-those-deaths-happened-in-scarborough.htmlDrivers are killing more pedestrians in Canada every year.
