Hiding in Plain Sight w/ Jason Slaughter of Not Just Bikes (video available)

In this episode, I welcome back Jason Slaughter, the creative genius behind the fantastic Not Just Bikes YouTube Channel, for deep dive into understanding the "hidden secret" behind the success of the Dutch mobility networks.Video for this Episode - first released as a special Holiday bonus video in DecemberJason Slaughter with Not Just Bikes in Amsterdam chats with me about how the Dutch have created what he calls "bicycle roads" and have teased out and separated their cycle priority networks from the networks serving other modes, including walking, transit, and cars.The result is a brilliant compilation of coordinated mobility choices that is arguably the best in the world.Helpful Links (note that some may include affiliate links to help me support the channel):We reference and play some of these Not Just Bikes videos during this conversation:- The Best Way to Cycle - Bicycle Only Roads in the Netherlands- The Bike Lanes You Can't See - Ontvlechten- Why the Dutch Wait Less at Traffic Lights- The Best Country in the World for Drivers- The Trains that Killed an Airline - Italian HSR- Landing Page for this Episode - My first episode featuring Jason - Jason's merch site - Nebula and Curiosity Stream - NJB Live  Four Easy Steps to Support My Efforts:1.
