Not Just Bikes 🇳🇱Mar 27

"While some people benefit from automobility, nearly everyone—whether or not they drive—is harmed by it. Slowing automobility’s violence and pollution will be impracticable without the replacement of policies that encourage Car Harm with policies that reduce it.”

This is a quote from a 2024 paper entitled, "Car harm: A global review of automobility’s harm to people and the environment", and I finally made a video about it (now on Nebula & Patreon):

Not Just Bikes — Every Reason to Hate Cars

"While some people benefit from automobility, nearly everyone—whether or not they drive—is harmed by it." This video is a summary of all the ways that cars harm cities, the environment, and people’s lives.

@notjustbikes I completely lost track right near the very beginning at the page turn in the Car Harm paper, where I thought: huh, there's a corner pub called The Marginalised Bear? Yes, even with the 'The' below, my brain parsed it that way... took a few seconds of processing to work that out. Thank goodness for rewind 😀

The real message is sobering: The marginalised bear the most harm.
