I think this will be the video I’ll recommend people unfamiliar with the channel from now on. Fun facts, introducing common problematic concepts, and relatively short.
Ah, that explains why the auto-suggested title didn’t work here when it did work in !nebula. My damn mouse has a habit of double-clicking when I use the button I have set to paste.
The only difference I see is instead of crossing a highspeed car lane, one would cross a slow speed cycling lane designed with the intent to protect individuals on bicycles.
The stock clip used at 3:20 involving a driver unabashedly on their phone is brilliant.
The 5:45 clip of a dude in a bigfoot costume cycling through Tokyo was unexpected.
6:00 the self-shout-out had me laugh out loud.
The idea of lowering local street speed limits not actually making your trip take much longer is so true. Brisbane-based cycling safety advocate Chris Cox has a video where he gives a demonstration. He drives the same route twice, once sticking to 30 km/h on the local streets, and once trying his best to get up to the speed limit of 50 km/h on those streets. (Driving to the predominantly 60 km/h speed limit on arterial roads.) The video on the whole is actually incredibly similar to this one, down to the safety/speed curve, the FOV comparisons, and the dismissal of the ridiculous arguments against 30 km/h. Because yeah, Jason’s words in the conclusion to this video are so right: the data is really, really, really clear here; at some point we have to realise that anybody fighting against lower speed limits within cities is either wilfully ignorant or they’re a selfish arsehole who values their convenience more than other people’s safety. But here’s a timestamped link to the bit of Chris’s video where he starts his experiment. It took a whopping 9 extra seconds. 9 seconds, on a 10 minute journey.
It’s called Cheonggyecheon, 청계천. Google Maps in Korea is really, really poor (for legal reasons). The satellite quality doesn’t even come close to capturing this (you can barely even tell it’s there), and Street View is just from the road (as of 2018 at the most recent) where you can see that it’s there, but not get much of a sense of it. There are a very small number of those individual non-path Street View photos.
Look up “Doug Ford bike lanes” and you’re sure to find a ton. Ford has had it in for bike lanes with a rage usually saved for his non-paying drug customers.
So you don’t have taxis driving on sidewalks or motorcycles speeding down the wrong side of split avenues and you STILL have about the same road deaths and injuries per pop as Taiwan?
This only goes decently for cities. Plus in the Netherlands prices have been going up and up and up. It’s not fun anymore and it’s cheaper to take the car.
It’s looking really cool! I also saw some horrible roads in some shots, but certainly looks like it’s moving in the right direction. Would love to visit some day.
