Friday Video: A Master List of All The Reasons Why Car Domination Sucks
It's love. Not Just Bikes

It’s impossible to list off all the reasons why we must resist mass forced car dependency in a short article … and believe us, we’ve been trying for 20 years. That’s why we were thrilled to see this nearly 50-minute masterpiece from Not Just Bikes, which is basically a mid-length documentary about the dangers of automobility and how to fix them.

Building on a classic 2024 study that Streetsblog covered back when it first dropped, Jason Slaughter catalogues the many harms of America’s preferred transportation monoculture, including some deep cuts you might not have thought of even if you’re neck-deep in the transportation reform discourse. And with dozens of links for follow-up watching, it’s the perfect one to send to that friend who’s ready to go down the rabbit hole.
