My latest video is now live on Nebula!

Asphalt is great for roads, but for streets and sidewalks the Dutch use standard brick pavers called "klinkers"! When and where klinkers are used is genuinely interesting, and it reveals a lot about Dutch street design!

Asphalt is a great material for building roads. But when it comes to streets, there's something better: klinkers!

@notjustbikes bricks are awful for kick scooters and longboards, but they do look nicer than asphalt in some cases

@blechlawine @notjustbikes I often find sidewalks made of bricks with rounded edges where I live, and I find them very scootable (20 cm PU wheels). I don't think I'd have much trouble with those red bricks, as long as they stay flat and regular (they won't).
