Talk:Not Just Bikes

Bike preference

Jason Slaughter does express a very narrow preference of bikes limited only to Dutch utility and cargo bikes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2025-32045-42 (talk) 21:22, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality

Hi @Helper211, there seems to be some confusion about the nationality. I'll explain why "Canadian-Dutch" is not a valid nationality, and reverted your edit (and another person who was confused for the same reason):

  • Nationality has a specific meaning here. To say that someone is Canadian-Dutch (or any other combo) does not require that they be a Canadian national. However, to say that someone has the Canadian-Dutch nationality must mean that they have the Canadian and Dutch nationality - so dual citizenship.
  • In I Spent Over 12 Hours on an Amtrak Train (on purpose), he makes a reference about using the Canadian passport the last time. This is because you cannot enter Canada with another country's passport if you're a citizen of that country. As a result, he lost his Canadian citizenship when he naturalised as a Dutch citizen, because the IND does not allow dual citizenship with limited exceptions.
  • The sources you linked do not prove otherwise. One is too old, while the other just says "Canadian-Dutch" (see my first point).
  • To give another example: many people originally from India have the American nationality, and had to give up their Indian nationality, since India does not allow dual citizenship. You can call them an Indian-American, since that is not tied to nationality. However, legally they are only American and do not possess an Indian passport.
