NOTE: Unofficial lemmy community.

A Lemmy community for Not Just Bikes, a video series about life in Amsterdam, and why Dutch cities are so great. It's not just bikes.

Rules:

  1. Be Nice. 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 We 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, we will ban you. You can post that crap somewhere else.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.

The EU needs more high-speed trains.

There is an EU petition going around to get the European Commission to put in place a legally binding act to establish a European high-speed train network, connecting EU capitals, as quickly as possible.

The link to the petition, as well as the site with more information, are in the pinned post.

These official EU petitions are actually meaningful, and are not your typical online petition, as they require confirmation of identity (e.g., through DigID). It is only open to residents of the EU.

Please consider signing it if you are a resident of the EU.

Obviously this initiative would only be part of the solution. What we really need are more regional trains throughout Europe, and better public transit for everyone.

Nevertheless, a trunk of high-speed train routes between capitals would go a long way towards building a viable alternative to flying and driving within Europe. Just as the Shinkansen (literally "new trunk line") do in Japan.

My point here is: don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Please sign and share the petition, and let's get the EU committed to trains.

Petition: https://eci.ec.europa.eu/035/public/#/screen/home
