It's crazy to me that some people think bicycles are more dangerous than cars. Can you cause harm on a bike? Sure, but it's way harder than with a car, where it's basically the default.

That many people are stupid should come as no surprise?
I don't think its people being stupid, but just being comfortable and going with least resistance and in turn accepting car-centric ideas as the norm
Car-brain scientifically proven to be a thing? Not surprising
I don't usually do this but consider liking the video and commenting that you support this type of content. GCN has 3.28M subscribers and if they started posting urbanist content, it would have a meaningful impact.
Wow, the rare quality content video from GCN / GMBN. Or did they stop dumping daily garbage?
TBH I don't watch a lot of their videos, but from time to time I check one out and most of the time they're quite good. Sometimes informative, sometimes entertaining, maybe even both.
I used to watch quite a bit of GMBN but their content became more and more low effort and they ended up re-doing basically the same content over and over again, with the guys becoming also visibly less and less enthusiastic about it. They heavily went into quantity over quality and it really hurt their content.
