Jason Slaughter created and produces Not Just Bikes, one of the best YouTube channels, in my opinion, on par with Low Tech Magazine and Do the Math. He makes videos about urban planning and city design based on his observations after moving to the Netherlands and reflecting on why he liked cities there more than any other place.

If you can’t imagine urban planning and city design entertaining and engaging, watch a few videos.

From Wikitubia’s page on Jason:

Jason grew up in London, Ontario, Canada. Since then, he has moved 29 times, living in many countries including the US, the UK, Belgium, and Taiwan. He chose to stay in Amsterdam, Netherlands, for reasons he has explained in his YouTube videos. He lives with his wife and two children. Outside of YouTube, he has had an extensive career as a Project Management Executive, primarily for tech companies and start-ups.

Not Just Bikes’ first video, uploaded on 7 July 2019, was a POV demonstration of him using the Strawinskylaan bicycle parking garage in Amsterdam. His next video, What Makes a City Great?, was an introduction to his channel where he explained his backstory and the topic he would cover in his videos: why Dutch cities are so great. Over the next year, he uploaded 25 video essays on this topic.

In his video One Year of Not Just Bikes, he explained he had completed his original goal for the channel, yet would continue to upload videos as he had many more topics he wanted to cover. Shortly after this, he began a new series of video essays about why American and Canadian cities are financially insolvent, collaborating with the organization Strong Towns.
