When I was in Montréal I was fortunate enough to cycle around for a day with one of the engineers who designed much of their recent bicycle infrastructure.

    At one point Jason talks about how tragic it is that it takes a death for the council to do something about making a road safer.

    Which is definitely true, but gods even that makes me wish I had a council as good as the ones in Montreal. Brisbane City Council doesn’t even give a fuck when there is a death. There can be a cyclist die on a road where safety advocates have been saying for years there’s a dire need for safety upgrades, and they still won’t even countenance improving the safety. They’d rather spend council resources repeatedly removing the ghost bikes set up at the location memorialising the killed cyclist.

    You gotta be out of your God damn mind if you think I’m gonna pay to watch some dork ride their bike around.

      First of all, if you don’t wanna watch it, you could just…not watch it? No need to vice signal by announcing it to the whole world.

      But second, you don’t pay for Nebula to watch this one video. You pay for Nebula as a way to support the dozens of creators on the platform, including many of the best urbanist channels including the one whose community you are currently visiting. And to get this and all the other Nebula-exclusive videos on the platform, most of which are merely addendums to public YouTube videos, but some of which are full exclusives. And to get all the videos ad-free.
