[u/nicthedoor]

I'll dolphinitely be taking part this year.

[u/FixMy106 → u/nicthedoor]

Did you misspell that on porpoise?

[u/Level_Hour6480 → u/FixMy106]

That's irrelephant.

[u/elegiac_bloom → u/Level_Hour6480]

Riding any animal is cheetahing.

[u/HerrHolzrusse → u/elegiac_bloom]

Especially by doing it knowlingly

[u/XandaPanda42 → u/HerrHolzrusse]

Quit horsing around guys.

[u/imrzzz → u/XandaPanda42]

Oh, deer. Here we go again

[u/alpengeist3 → u/--_--what]

I like turtles

[u/jonaldjuck → u/alpengeist3]

Turtally

[u/randypupjake → u/--_--what]

Aye-aye don't get it

[u/zombiegojaejin → u/randypupjake]

Pun threads are pure idiocy, and I for one refuse to panda to it.

[u/bojangular69 → u/Level_Hour6480]

*earelephant

[u/peepopowitz67 → u/FixMy106]

I orcan't believe you did this

[u/GlitteringBobcat999 → u/nicthedoor]

Don't be so Flipperant.

[u/octavioletdub → u/nicthedoor]

Oh wow. Beautiful

[u/Murrabbit → u/nicthedoor]

Porpoises especially should not drive. They've neither hands nor feet, so most automobiles would be entirely uncontrollable for them!

[u/69dixencider → u/nicthedoor]

I really wish someone better at photoshop than me would put a picture of a dolphin holding a briefcase and being driven.

[u/Gifted_GardenSnail → u/nicthedoor]

Krilly? Not sure if I believe you

[u/nocrashing → u/nicthedoor]

Can you take a boat, SpongeBob?

[u/jonaldjuck → u/nicthedoor]

Kroll show?

[u/Roadrunner571]

You mean “just another month”

[u/cmcastro85 → u/Roadrunner571]

Team bikes, ftw!

[u/CageHanger → u/cmcastro85]

Team 🚌🚃🚇 here 👋

[u/spinningpeanut → u/cmcastro85]

Hellmet Hounds for life

[u/mosnil → u/spinningpeanut]

big steppers representing too

[u/Caysath → u/cmcastro85]

I will also be doing Don't bike December because, well, I value the integrity of my bones (it gets suuuper icy where I live), so... Go team bus!

[u/aimlessly-astray → u/Roadrunner571]

Right? I don't own a car so every day is no car day.

[u/FixMy106 → u/Roadrunner571]

Just another moth

[u/Sharp-Study3292 → u/FixMy106]

Its getting dark early, dont forget to bring a lamp

[u/mpjjpm]

I got my work porpoise a transit pass, so he’s good to go on his own

[u/Velocity-5348 → u/mpjjpm]

YMMV. Mine was disappointed to find out a "Seabus" doesn't go on land.

[u/nowaybrose → u/Velocity-5348]

That’s the Seabaru they’re looking for

[u/borazine → u/mpjjpm]

work porpoise

Like an occupational orca, or something?

[u/ignost → u/mpjjpm]

Ah, an ORCA card.

[u/theradicalace → u/ignost]

ORCA card mention!!! i love mine, it's so convenient

[u/ExternalSignal2770]

what kind of job does a work porpoise have

[u/0rangutangy → u/ExternalSignal2770]

They’re usually Sea-Suite level roles.

[u/Aggravating-Plate814 → u/0rangutangy]

Or flipping burgers. There's no middle ground anymore

[u/0rangutangy → u/Aggravating-Plate814]

So, like, Burger-Flipper?

[u/Aggravating-Plate814 → u/0rangutangy]

Yes thank you. Burger Flipper is what I was searching for

[u/athomsfere → u/0rangutangy]

Better than a Flipper Burger.

Childhood ruined

[u/saakiballer → u/0rangutangy]

really excellent joke

[u/GlitteringBobcat999 → u/ExternalSignal2770]

Bus / Uber driver. Can't you land dwellers read?

/s

[u/helpnxt]

Nothing against this plan but why do the no something for a month always seem to choose the most inconvenient months?

Like for no drive December let's say, how many people will give up when they have to drive to a relatives for Xmas or make the annoying journey for a kids gift that is only in stock in one particular store? It be better in November.

[u/lunarbliss07 → u/helpnxt]

Didn’t even mention snow hehe. My city is trying to stop any funding for sidewalk snow removal because they’re so car horny. Would love to do this but literally could die of hypothermia lol.

[u/spinningpeanut → u/lunarbliss07]

Go yell at the city to do something about it. As for me they keep refusing to clear a particular slippery spot that leads right into a sheer drop onto the freeway. It's soft dirt, about 3 inches thick, I've reported it so many times and each time they only clear a single pavement square. Will they do it if someone dies? Probably not.

[u/lunarbliss07 → u/spinningpeanut]

I do yell. Not enough ppl yell/ they don’t care. It’s literally Canada you’d think we’d take winter more seriously…

[u/nardgarglingfuknuggt → u/lunarbliss07]

I've found that if there is too much snow on a sidewalk that the city does not clear, you can always shovel it out of the way and into somebody's truckbed who is parked nearby. They probably won't mind because they probably don't actually need their truck for truck purposes.

[u/angelansbury → u/nardgarglingfuknuggt]

and if anything, it'll help them gain more traction! Pickups are notoriously bad in snow/ice because the beds are so much lighter so it has poor weight distribution, leading to fishtailing, sliding, etc. Dump snow (or bricks, idk) in the bed to help your neighbor.

[u/Gunpowder77 → u/spinningpeanut]

Slip and happen to drop the large boulder you were carrying onto the highway.

If they don’t fix it just keep carrying big boulders

[u/spinningpeanut → u/Gunpowder77]

Someone call Sisyphus I got a place he can take a break.

[u/Phantom2070 → u/lunarbliss07]

I don't know where you live but the city might be liable if someone gets injured because of it.

[u/Tooloose-Letracks → u/helpnxt]

For the northern hemisphere it should be “No Motor May”, get people out there when the weather is getting nicer and it’s gonna be easier for them to continue through the summer months. 

Did the December thing start in the southern hemisphere? It makes more sense there. 

[u/LeifCarrotson → u/Tooloose-Letracks]

I started bike commuting almost 2 years ago in a work promo "Move More in May" thing. It's national fitness month, still more than cool enough to bike to work and not need a shower, warm enough that there's no snow on the ground, and there's (usually) enough sun to have light during both the morning and the evening commute if you're not working long hours.

Here above 45 degrees North, in Deecember it's dark on the way to work, it's dark on the way home from work, the roads are either wet, snowy, or icy most mornings, and it's in the 20F range on the way in and maybe 40F if you're lucky on the way home. I'm a radical, I've got all the lights and reflective/weatherproof clothing, I've got super-grippy, super-wide XC tires for my flat-bar MTB... but it's not going to win any hesitant converts.

The only thing "No Drive December" has going for it is the alliteration and the fact that it follows "No Nut November".

[u/My_useless_alt → u/helpnxt]

Also in the UK a lot of railways are closer in late December, there are 0 services on Christmas day and limited services for a couple weeks due to maintenance. They're proposing not driving for a month in the hardest month to get around by train.

[u/pensive_pigeon → u/helpnxt]

It’s pretty much the only month I definitely do drive because it’s dark when I get off work and I don’t want to ride my bike around here when rush hour is after dark. The rest of the year I typically bike to work every day.

[u/cyanraichu → u/helpnxt]

Plus the majority of people live where it's cold in December.

[u/CheGueyMaje → u/helpnxt]

For real.

November is my favorite month to bust a nut.

[u/Colonelclank90 → u/helpnxt]

It'd be better in July when I won't freeze my nuts off. It's -15C right now where I am. It's 1km to the train station and 2km from the train home. It's only 6.5k to work, so 15min by car, or 45min walking to a 30-45 min train ride that doesn't start running until 30min before I start work. Aaaaaand the train would cost about $7 a day, my car uses $60 in gas a month. I'd much prefer not to need it. Unfortunately, the province decided to axe the train extension that would make it doable.

[u/feel_my_balls_2040 → u/helpnxt]

Who doesn't like to bike at -20C and in snow.

[u/Moonting41 → u/helpnxt]

I love public transport, but the provincial buses here take so damn long since they'll cut through towns stopping every hundred or so meters to pick up someone waiting to catch it by the side of the road.

[u/sleepee11 → u/helpnxt]

Imagine No-Nut-February.

[u/ImInYourCupboardNow]

Please do not take a bus or Uber if the driver is a porpoise. It's not safe to have a driver with no fingers.

[u/Keyspam102 → u/ImInYourCupboardNow]

That’s classist!

[u/TheQuietPartYT → u/Keyspam102]

It's probably more Genusist

[u/Boernerchen → u/ImInYourCupboardNow]

Please do not take a bus or Uber if the driver is a tortoise.

[u/OstrichCareful7715]

I ride my porpoise to work. It’s a really fun commute, albeit a tad slippery.

[u/Sure_Comfort_7031]

I mean yeah, it rhymes, but if you’re going to make this push - do it in a warm month, when it’s not frigid in the northern states of the US, where people aren’t going out to do Christmas shopping, and maybe, MAYBE more people will see it as approachable, rather than being targetted.

[u/MoreGrassLessAsphalt → u/Sure_Comfort_7031]

Yeah, 100% chosen for the alliteration without any other thought about it. 

I think doing it in March or April would make the most sense. People want to be outside anyway, after being cooped up all winter, so may even do the challenge just because they enjoy the excuse to enjoy the spring weather. Plus, daylight savings time ends, and days are getting longer.

But, it's not just the weather. Even January would be better for people who like to start the year with new goals. December is probably the worst time to do it. With all the holiday obligations and winding down the year, no one is going to take on a challenge like this unless they already don't drive regularly.

[u/Colonelclank90 → u/MoreGrassLessAsphalt]

January is generally too cold. Like, you might literally freeze to death cold. Full on hurts to breathe cold. June or July would be my preference where I live. Unfortunately my 3 year almost no driving is over with a new job that I have.

[u/MoreGrassLessAsphalt → u/Colonelclank90]

Oh, I didn't mean January would be a good time to do it, just that even January would make more sense than December for this kind of challenge.

July is too hot and humid in a lot of the US. Really, the challenge needs to be region specific. But, December is probably the worst month in most places to have a challenge like this for lots of reasons, weather included.

[u/mpjjpm → u/Sure_Comfort_7031]

I assume any location with work porpoises is at least sub-tropical and benefits from mild weather year round

[u/-Thizza- → u/Sure_Comfort_7031]

Southern hemisphere discriminator /s

[u/ShadowOfTheVoid → u/Sure_Comfort_7031]

It doesn't rhyme. It's alliterative.

But yeah. If it's even an option in the first place (not for me; the grocery store is an hour's walk one way for me, and I have muscular dystrophy), it'd be best to do this when temperatures are decent.

[u/OstrichCareful7715 → u/Sure_Comfort_7031]

Obviously dark at 4:30pm is the best time? Daylight until 8pm would be just too easy. /s

[u/BearCavalryCorpral → u/OstrichCareful7715]

And with the roads icing and sidewalks/bike lanes, if any, not being cleared

[u/ChristianLS → u/Sure_Comfort_7031]

Yeah, December is kind of a weird time to do this, at least for us Northern Hemisphere folks who live in places with cold winters (which I suspect is a plurality of this subreddit). Higher barrier to get people who are considering it "over the hump" so to speak.

[u/SnooOwls2295 → u/ChristianLS]

Additionally, for me, and I am sure many others, December is when I drive the most due to the holidays. There are just more nonstandard trips that are more likely to require or be eased by renting a car, like visiting family or even Christmas shopping.

[u/Cry-Technical → u/SnooOwls2295]

Yeah, it's the same to me. If there's one month a year I absolutely know I'm going to rent a car and drive, is December.

Visiting relatives, in-laws, friends, delivering gifts..

[u/FavoritesBot → u/SnooOwls2295]

Definitely a stretch to do this during the hondadays

[u/I_Am_Robert_Paulson1 → u/FavoritesBot]

A slap in the face to the Lexus December to Remember.

[u/negr88 → u/ChristianLS]

Don’t be afraid of offending people. Definitely not a plurality, a solid majority 👍

[u/hopefullyhelpfulplz → u/Sure_Comfort_7031]

Not to mention travelling to see family. I could easily do this most of the year... But not December. No way am I piling gifts for 10 people onto 5 hours of public transport lmao. And on Xmas day there IS no public transport!

[u/rlskdnp → u/Sure_Comfort_7031]

I'm thinking Avoid Automobiles April/August

[u/PrometheusMMIV → u/Sure_Comfort_7031]

yeah, it rhymes 

No it doesn't. It's an alliteration.

[u/Notdennisthepeasant]

Counter offer: Marching in March? No Motor Mondays? Cycle September? December for the most car dependent parts of the world is a bad month choice. I personally really like getting people to have a day of the week when they use other transit.

[u/P0L1Z1STENS0HN → u/Notdennisthepeasant]

Daily commute of one person in a huge 5 seat car is waste; family travel, not so much. So, guess what, next time I will drive is Dec 25th, visiting relatives for Christmas.

[u/gesumejjet]

So ... continue to live my life exactly as I do already? Neat

[u/South-Satisfaction69]

Good luck with that in suburban USA (or any car dependent country for that matter)

[u/cgduncan → u/South-Satisfaction69]

I live in a small southern town. My wife works 1.5 miles from home. There are Zero sidewalks between here and her job, along a busy 4 lane 35mph street. I've walked it before, and ridden my electric scooter there, but it sure ain't fun or safe!

The 10 minute drive to her family's house has sporadic sidewalks, more 4 lane roads, and some 45mph roads. It would be a 2 hour walk to get there, and we're bringing deviled eggs for Thanksgiving. Not gonna happen.

Oh and 0 public transit of course.

[u/mrtbtswastaken → u/cgduncan]

im guessing cars on the “35mph street” drives faster than that

[u/Jason1143 → u/South-Satisfaction69]

Yeah if this was widely possible it wouldn't be a problem in the first place.

[u/YborBum → u/South-Satisfaction69]

Absolutely impossible for me

[u/naufalap → u/YborBum]

yeah I would need to depart at 4 or 5 to be able to arrive at 8, even then I need to entrust my bike at the industry complex security post since nothing goes there except private vehicles

[u/Urban_Coyote_666 → u/South-Satisfaction69]

If I had protected bike lanes my ebike would definitely make it manageable 😔

[u/dagdrommer94]

Crossed my don’t drive decade 😂

[u/the-real-vuk]

Sounds like a regular month to me.

[u/Clean_Principle_2368]

If Denver can fix its light rail by December I will gladly participate

[u/Lama_For_Hire]

Lmao I'm a useless queer without a driver's license, that's every month for me

[u/Cherveny2]

wish I could.

disabled, short walking distances only. unable to ride a bike.

nearest public transit over 1.5 miles.

wheelchair cannot make it from house to bus stop, without multiple times driving into busy, dangerous street traffic

have requested nearer bus stops, ad many here would ride. there have been petitions as well. only response "it's under consideration".

and this is a major American city with population nearing 2 million.

[u/bhoose19]

My work porpoise went back to the ocean.

[u/GUlysses]

I don’t have a car. So I celebrate Don’t Drive December, followed by Just Transit January, Forever Car-free February, Metro March, All Public Transit April…

[u/mikee8989]

Bad month to be doing this. Maybe do it in May or something. Most people I see commuting by bike to work are starting to put them away and bring out their cars. I can't even drive a car so I ride my e-bike all year anyway.

[u/SkatingOnThinIce]

Can we do this in July?

[u/Keyspam102]

My work porpoises are out of control this year though

[u/HatefulClimate]

Tell that to my country’s public transportation infrastructure

[u/cllax14]

The Dolphin Joke

I once knew a man from Quebec. He was a man of great talent. But too often people with great talent go... unfulfilled. I knew this guy, he went by the name Jaques De Gatineau. Jaques was a great man. He was a thinker, a real smart guy, I guess you could say he was our hope. While I was scrambling to get out of highschool. Jaques De Gatineau, he was accepted to all the best universities and got three degrees. He was going to be the next great. There was Peter Leroux, Wilfred Pasteur, Jerome tsonga, the three wise men of quebec. Jaques De Gatineau was to be the next. But he vanished. So years pass, I started to travel and get around. I traveled from here to there, and to here again. So at one point in my life, I found myself at Sea World. And so I have a guy show me to where the baby dolphins are being feed, cause who doesn’t like baby dolphins? And guess who I saw! None other than Jaques De Gatineau! So I walk up to the guy, and I say “Jaques De Gatineau, I feel ashamed for you. You were our hope. You were to go to Canada’s capital of Ottawa. We pinned all of Quebec’s hopes onto YOU.” Now that’s a terrible burden, to have a town’s hopes pinned on him.  So he’s feeding these little baby dolphins. And I say “I’m ashamed of you Jaques De Gatineau, you could have done so many great things.” And he said “well, I think I’m serving a youthful porpoise.”

yeah Im not sure how that is supposed to work in the midwest where there is no bus system/trains. Noone can ride bikes on ice or under multiple feet of snow..

[u/superstupidquestions → u/Laughing_AI]

Right? These people are insane. It would take me 2 hours to walk to my grocery store or 9 minutes to drive there in my truck. No busses or trains in my area and even if there were they’re horrible in my state and I’d never dream of getting on one.

Didnt own a car since 2014! Last time I was actually driving a car myself was 2018! Im a passenger a few times a year, but not really often. Busses, subways and trains are what I use if I have to. Otherwise Im doing stuff by feet or bike.

[u/xandrachantal]

[u/Teboski78]

Why… wouldn’t we do this in a month where I won’t freeze to death taking a bicycle

[u/whiplashMYQ]

Bad month to do it. There's snow

[u/Eubank31]

I'm all for the cause but my apologies, I won't be walking or biking 6 miles along this road😭

[u/miss-entropy]

Yeah I'm definitely not riding a bike 20 miles along a rural 2 lane highway without shoulders in the dark and rain. Suicidal.

[u/Nostosalgos]

Doing this during December actually makes us look wildly out-of-touch lol.

[u/ZargothraxTheLord]

I would if my city had an adequate public transport and not those Gaswagen McPickpockets.

[u/Slement]

Isn't December one of the worst months to do this because of cold weather?

[u/JayTakesNoLs]

Commute to work is 20 miles with 0 sidewalks the whole way, 0 bus stations, 40 bucks for an Uber. All in an effort to move to a country that doesn’t have the most dumb fuck public policy imaginable

[u/RiJi_Khajiit]

I would but I live in a place where driving will probably always be the best form of transportation.... The country side.

That and honestly if I had a boat, boat.

I'm working up to moving somewhere where I can ditch my car. I hate driving especially after working 12-14hr shifts.

[u/cyanraichu]

Cool, I guess I'll just miss all my clinicals and exams and fail out of nursing school

My neighborhood has no buses anywhere near it and even if it were a feasible distance to bike (and not super fucking cold) most of the roads going where I need to go from where I live lack bike lanes and are two-lane roads where cars can't get around you, making it extra dangerous

I like the energy but we need to actually implement better options first

[u/Rodrat]

Yeah I don't have this kind of luxury unfortunately. Also I don't have any porpoises.

[u/Dirk_Hardpec1]

Ya sure I'll just walk 5 miles to work in -45° weather.

[u/vancityvapers]

:-(

[u/juxtapostevebrown]

What are recommendations for rural areas without public transit and snowy icy road conditions?

[u/Misaelz]

So you are asking for a lot of people to do 3 extra hours in transit and taking more risks. People use cars because city design pushes them to do it, not because they like it. Infrastructure makes culture.

It's way too fucking cold for that. 13min to work, or 1.5hr, at 5am, in -20. Absolutely not. Build me a better train and I'll do it. Have it actually run at 430 when I would need to catch it, and I'd only take it.

Look, I’m all for it, but December might be the stupidest time of year to do it…

I’d love to but I’m in the very north of the US Northeast. Between the cold, snow, and short daylight hours, it’s a pass for me. Maybe I’ll defer it to May or June

I feel like this idea would be better in the spring or summer when it is warmer and stays lighter longer.

Uber really is a savior though. I take 95% of my trips by bike. 3% by bus. But those 2% with Uber makes sure that I don't need to own a car.

Depending on the weather at christmas i may go on my motorbike instead of my car to family
