Not Just Bikes

I know.

I watched Jason from Not Just Bikes.

He left London to where you are now to move to Utrecht or somewhere around there.

And I do like the guy, even though he's a snarky, sarcastic bugger.

I did come across like Alan Fisher, And I think the, oh, the urbanity folks up in Montreal were making videos and Reese Martin was making transit videos up in Toronto.

I didn't even see the not just bikes channel before I had started that ended up being like a bigger channel than any of the ones that I'd been watching.

But, um, so I just kind of did my own thing.

You know, I had, uh, I had a bunch of ideas about things I wanted to talk about that came up during my kind of past career as a transportation and planning consultant.

So at the time, this is, this has evolved over time, but I think it was like 2022.

So it was like the second year of the channel.

Um, so there was a, I can't remember what, what platform we had it on, but there was a group chat with like me and some of the other YouTube creators, including Jason from, from Not Just Bikes.

And I was asking questions about, you know, where...

There are a few things that have led us to this moment today where so many young people are interested in urbanism.

You know, YouTube, Urbanist YouTube is one of the more recent ones, like Not Just Bikes and all that.

But you go back further and you get to num tot.

And that really brought millennials in on that.

I mean, that's kind of where I think I got to know Jerome, uh, and then Right.

Like, I think I personally thought a lot about like YouTube's like, right.

Not just bikes and that kind of sphere of people kind of getting people into urban planning.

And but yeah, I think the num tot thing was kind of like the OG thing that got a lot of, especially young people really interested in, in transit.
