Not polished yet: https://close.city/https://vxtwitter.com/NatMakesMaps/status/1776259750310912335It's an interactive map to show the best places for transportation and walkability. The default is Grocery + Library which makes the map really really narrowly defined and there's no real way to weight the options, so I recommend disabling Library and/or using just one at a time. But it does an incredible job of highlighting walkability and would make a great tool for deciding where to develop or move
>>1994322Not sustainable means it sounds good but is short-sighted. Urban walkable neighborhoods (white) aren't cherry picked examples. It's an environment to grow, connect with a community, raise kids safely, and help or even start small businesses that get traffic from passerbys on foot or bike rather than people driving straight to their goyfeed "restaurant" or Walmart. The reason you have that that image in your head of them being "chic" is that it's an environment where someone can open a small successful clothing shop or a craft brewery in the first place. When your street looks like pic related, these are your only choices of destinations
>>1992688What do you mean "at the uni itself", like on the campus main lawn? In the admin building? Inside a classroom? Like did they just abolish university libraries or are they really just for homeless people to take drugs like foxposter claimed?
>>1990429I like jews and I hate a lot of Yimbys. I also live in a very old suburb that still feels walkable and has lots of trees. I think the ressentiment of many Yimbys is palpable and is a clear turnoff.

>>1995236>>1995239There's also those all over the rims, they are made out of some sort of paper and leave nasty adhesive that I can't remove with water or alcohol https://files.catbox.moe/bf99qh.jpgI don't know what retard in Cube thought it's a nice touch.
>>1995242This is common with all but the most generic cheapo disposable junk wheels because it can be next to impossible to tell what wheel you're looking at and bike companies will often swap different wheelsets on the same model, it's easy to remove and it also makes it easier to tell what you're looking at when it's not a prestige wheel like a campy where you can tell from 100 feet away what brand it is even if there's no stickerAlexrims isn't anything fancy but it's better than the worst junk so of course there's going to be stickers on it announcing that you got a bike that has better than the worst possible wheels
>>1995245It's Cube Hyde Race in case you wanted to know. I removed the stickers from one side of one wheel, not the adhesive though. Tomorrow I will go and but this fucking adhesive removal spray because it's seems there's no way around it. I also tried gasoline and WD40, both didn't help.
>>1994513I’m going from 160/160 to 203/180 and the rear 180 adapter with the included bolts interferes with the caliperSo I used an M6 with no on thread washer and ground it down a little to clear, but these are 10mm bolts instead of the longer normal brake boltsIs this going to kill me?Pic is the black original brake bolts and the bolt I’m using on the caliper
>>1995268I can’t just use the original bolt and shave that down because of the non removable washer on the bolt, it’s too tall, if I ground one down with that washer there I’d be taking off half the head

>>1995156In 2024? I think It's the opposite of "cool". A teacher of mine used to say "philosophy was born and died in Greece", which means that is a unique and unrepeatable cultural phenomenon and translates to "tagging was born and died in nyc". That context doesn't exist anymore, To me if you were not credited in style wars you're just a vandal and really stupid or confused and this theory is confirmed by all the taggers I've met in my life. It's really just like littering or vandalism, it's amazing how much damage just a few schizo or idiots can do to the public space.

>>1992987how are they any better than vintage bikes? i don't want no disc brakes and don't mind shifters on the frame. Why would shitty aluminium frame would be better than sturdy steel? i don't get why some aluminium bike is $1k when you can get some really decent bike from the 80s for max $200
Whenever I have an extremely basic maintenance task on my bike that anyone who calls himself a cyclist should do at home, I coincidentally suspect there's a really complex problem that I wouldn't feel bad about asking for help on, and I wheel it into the shop.The shop guys poke and spin and prod and go "it's fine, anything else?", so I go "well, since I'm already here, sigh.... I was gonna do it myself but why the hell not, I guess _____, so knock yourself out man, ha ha, I'm here right? might as well!" I'm pretty sure they see through my ruse but I'll bet I'm not the only guy with a fragile ego who walks in with a basic bitch maintenance request, and their labor rates are higher than some shops so I don't even feel guilty, but I'm 100% sure this makes me a shit cyclist who should kms immediately, no wonder I'm slow. But faster guys pass me really close so thats a compliment right?

You had easily 30+ planes on the north side waiting to take off from U3-U1, then looping around all around 13L from start to end of Twy C to Twy E to depart along with planes waiting on crossings...and it was like Friday night.

I want to strip the paint off my bike and I want a bare steel frame. Pic related, it's the bike I got 4 years ago. Rides extremely well, upgraded it, hate the name/frame colour, etc etc... I want to know if I can do it myself, what tools/chemicals I need, and what kind of stuff I need to protect the frame? Is this something I should get paid to be done (e.g.: sandblasting), or can I do it myself? I need tools to take off the crown, BB and other stuff as well, anything I can use to improvise here?Cheers.
>>1995226Don't do it it's a beautiful bike. Expecially if you don't have another bike. Just ride. The bare steel it's particularly stupid. If you have money just buy one from those dresden hipsters or do it on a pos used bike.It's a good idea only because you'd learn everything on assembling a bike. You'd need a lot of tools that you can't improvise.
>>1995226It’ll look shit unless it’s professionally polished and coated, and I doubt you’ll find anyone who can do that. You’ll end up with a dirty brown rusty pole if you try to strip it.
I've been debating selling my car for a bike and I want to know what you think /n/. All my life all I've ever owned are cheap ass big box store bikes and I thought that's just how bikes were. I thought the expensive ones at bike shops were just for hardcore riders. Well, I decided to check one out as there are several in my town because riding is quite big here. Well, I don't need to tell you guys how much better these bikes were. And it had me thinking.I'm a tubby broke neet. I need to save more money and get in shape. I can get somewhere around $7000 for my car, enough to get a really solid bike and have plenty extra. I want to know if anyone has ever done this. I've thought about it for several days, and the ONLY reason I can think against it is "driving is easier". There are bike paths and lanes everywhere in my town. It snows maybe 2-3 weeks a year. Grocery store is a 5 minute bike ride away. Has anyone done this before?
>>1990910the thing is a car isn't really "free" even if it's paid off, maintenance, gas and insurance are gonna be hundreds of dollars a year if not over 1000
>>1990805I didn't say I wanted to put my feet flat on the ground. You said that. So I'm not gonna bother with the rest of your post since you didn't bother with mine.>>1990910Damn so /n/ has their own version of "3k civic" guy.>i can't understand selling my car to purchase oneYou might not do it and that's fine. But if you bothered to read you would understand it. Thanks to those who were helpful but the shitposters are here so I'm out. Cheers

Australia can build nice modern metro stations, why can’t the US? New York’s city 2nd Ave Subway extension costed billions and the station built looked like shit, mid at best. Australia does the same yet builds great stations, all modern, functional with great station amenities and architecture. Metro trains are fully automated as well with platform screen doors on every station.Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with mutts? This is not an Anglo-issue (London finishes Crossrail and Toronto is going big on transit expansions and major renovations), it appears only mutts are the outlier, why?
>>1995195Washington DC Metro had good looking stations and the trains looked nice inside.
>>1995195if i didn't know how SAS stations look like i'd say this sydney station looks utterly soulless. it is insane how much difference even a beige tone can make compared to full sterile white
>>1995223I agree with you that Sydney Metro is awesome. They have my favorite aboveground metro stations of any in the world. >What the fuck is wrong with mutts?For some reason that I'm sure some Anon can answer, American municipal governments have the worst culture and norms of any in the world. Since it's city governments that often take the lead on public transit projects, and since the people in American city governments are literally brain-dead or chained to NIMBYs, American public transit projects are often smothered in the cradle, or ruined in the design phase. >HadI was just in DC. The underground stations in the core section are still very nice and pleasing to be in.
>>1995231First part was meant for >>1995195
>>1995195>New York’s city 2nd Ave Subway extension costed billions and the station built looked like shit, mid at best.I'm not saying the 2nd ave line looks amazing but your pics aren't exactly attractive either. When I think of nice looking subways I think of either Mexico City brutalist style, or Russia/DPRK commie nightmare dystopia style. But maybe it's just me.
America has globally, objectively low commute times. And generally the more public transit usage and walking there is the longer the commute.
>>1990680Congress should pass a bill ensuring that no more new light rail systems are created and that existing funds for transit projects are only approved for heavy rail passenger rail/transit or highways. I hate the “cars vs. trains” analogy, just give me great highways, subways, regional rail and intercity trains. Fuck light rail. Go big or go bust.
>>1995198Fully approve this. Deploy buses instead. Much cheaper
>>1995198counterpoint
>>1995063
>>1995224First off, no one's commuting 400 miles. Second off, a combination of good highways and airlines can cut down on those times significantly.
