Bike riders wear helmets and high-vis vests to reduce their vulnerability on the road. Problem is a new study finds this dehumanises cyclists, putting them more at risk of aggression from drivers.

#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.
