Hello lovely Patreon supporters!
My latest (and last) video about Japan is now available. This video is about all that makes Japanese cities so great (as well as some not-so-great things), and how the small, narrow streets of Japan make all of this possible.

When I was in Japan, I rode a LOT of trains. With so many Japanese train companies trying to differentiate themselves, the Japanese have created some crazy trains that just don’t exist anywhere else.
This video is about 7 of my favourite and craziest trains that I rode in Japan (plus the ...

I'm back from Japan and I have my first (of several videos) ready to go! I visited the world's busiest train station, Shinjuku station in Tokyo. This station transports 3 MILLION people every day!
Shinjuku station is really interesting because it isn’t just a ridiculously efficient trans...
Amsterdam recently changed almost all of its streets to 30km/h. In this video, I talk about some of the research behind that change, and why 30km/h is probably the correct speed limit within cities.
Hello everyone!
I'm sure most of you have watched a lot of Not Just Bikes videos (or you wouldn't be here!) but there are also many "unlisted" videos on the channel. Some of these are old "bonus" videos (when I used to have time to do those), but others are videos I've removed for other r...
Hello Patreon supporters! My latest video is about Berlagebrug, an historic bridge in Amsterdam that was closed recently for necessary rennovations. They closed the bridge for cars, but they built a whole new temporary bridge, just for bikes!

I have had it on my list since day 1 to do a video about Induced Demand. But then I saw so many other videos come out about this topic, and I figured that this topic had been done, and there was no point in making another video.

My next video is in editing, but I wanted to give a quick update as I've been missing-in-action for a few weeks.
Up until now Not Just Bikes has been produced from a room in my house. No, not really a "room", more like a "nook" off of the livingroom. It'...

I'm going to be taking a short break from making videos, unfortunately.

Hello everyone!
We recently stopped by Freiburg on our way back to Amsterdam from Switzerland, as I had heard so many good things about it. And wow, what a great city! It's a city with more than twice as many bikes as cars, which is a rarity for Germany.

Hello Everyone!

What is it that makes some urban places inviting and others ... not? A sense of place is a big component ...

So a few weeks ago, Amsterdam closed one of their most busy roads: Weesperstraat. This is called a "knip". This was a BIG move, even by Amsterdam standards, and the right-wing media and politicians were ready to immediately claim it was a complete failure on the first day. Even though this is onl...

I really don't want to make "debunking" videos. I don't like watching that kind of content, and I don't like making it.
