A cager assaulted a cyclist yet again.https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20160303/austin/cyclist-attacked-after-telling-driver-get-out-of-bike-lane-video
>"I dare you to fuck with me">got beat up>didn't get off his bike when he saw a nigger charging at himwhat a retard, he deserved it, if he can't fight he should at least have the competency to run awayit is so incredibly easy to get away from someone who's not on a bicycle when you are on a bicycle
>>930097Wannabe cop was already trying to go on a power trip in the hood before he was even a cop.
>>929794>niggerOh what a surprise!
>>929794The cager was driving like a maniac. The video evidence of that should have been enough to get his license suspended.
Cagers are so fucking disgusting.
Get in here, aviators and aviatrixes!
>>930787Flying airplanes is easy as fuck. My first airplane solo was at three hours. Three fucking hours, not making this shit up. Yes, my instructor was a piece of shit and we most certainly did not cover all the requirements of FAR 61.87 but after three dual flights he sent me up alone for a few laps. In hindsight, knowing what I know now, I would have never gone along with it, but it went about as good as it could have gone.My first helicopter solo, on the other hand, wasn't until nearly 30 hours. But that was in a much more structured environment and I actually felt like I fully knew what I was doing in the aircraft by the time I went up alone.And now I'm a dual rated pilot and heli CFI, and I question my decision to endorse a new solo student for the first few seconds every single time I step out of the cockpit on their first solo flight, no matter how many hours they have. Shit is fucking scary.
>>930787My first solo was after 20-ish, too, but 7 is a bit fucking rapid
>>930809Find a plane with a lot of legroom
Did some patterns in 20 kt, 45° relative to runway, wind in a freaking DA-40. Man, was I literally flying sideways. That shit wouldn't turn, no matter how much I stepped on the rudders. I ended up over-shoting the runway but eventually learned by trying some wider patterns. On the other hand the noob controller made a couple mistakes (gave the wrong active runway, told me cleared to land while I was actually #2, etc.) that made the whole ordeal pretty frustrating. Add to that I was feeling a little dizzy from the weather, and last night's party, I forgot my power settings two times. I was almost sure my instructor would clear me for the solo (currently @ 30hrs) but this made us think I actually need a lot more practice. Well, it was fun at least.
>>929649Ok, I need some help. I want a small, light, single seater, single engine plane that's fast as fuck. Does such a thing exist?
>>930883>Walmart bike>BMXCmon man, you gotta at least try

>>926996The A380 was still a colossal mistake and Airbus executives (well, one at least) has said so recently. There is no realistic roadmap for success for it.
>>926996>Boeing having to sink $10B to develop an entirely new plane in the 230~280 passenger segment because 737 MAX 9 is way too small to compete with A321neo and the entire 737 MAX family is getting decimated because of thiskek
>>927502>No roadmap for successSure there is, just ask /k/
>>930099That's not even true though. Airbus was trying to bill the A321neo as a 757 replacement despite the blatantly obvious fact that it's not. Neither company has a new middle-of-market aircraft (the A321neo is not middle of market), but Boeing is supposedly going to announce one later this year.
>>927032> A380 neoWhy? The A380s don't need a New Engine Option. They already have new engines.
Old thread's over 300...My quill stem won't come loose from the top bolt, do I just need to use penetrating oil?
>>930860Santic stuff is pretty good quality, and you can get bibs for around $30. I'd rather splash out a little extra and get something made in the US like Voler or Ibex, but when ya can't afford that, may as well buy direct from China.
>>930836http://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/road-bike-reviews/schwalbe-pro-one-tubeless-2016Max pressure is listed as 110.Rolling resistance is .5 W more per tyre than conti GP4kSII with latex tubes.>On a really smooth course, would it be best to still go to the standard 125psi or so even with tubeless?Probably just put them up the stated limit. I know the GCN video in on of the middle eastern races they were all saying their tubulars were at 140 PSI or so, the roads must be good out there.
>>930835>maybe wash them every 25 or so rides. I haven't encountered any problems so far, am I at risk for anything?Any kind of shorts would put you at risk of fungal infections but something where you're always hot and sweaty is even worse.Hand-washing might not even be enough, you need to be washing them really thoroughly. Ask your doctor about fungal infections.>>930877>One of the big advantages of shorts. Bibs are literally a memeOne advantage of bibs is not having the top of tight shorts flip over, which happens if you're a bit tubby wearing tight, thin clothes over your gut. /fit/ probably don't has an issue with it.
>>930835Just buy (noname) bibs on Alibaba, did the same and just paid 10 Eur each pair and so far they are in pretty good shape after 6 months
>>930835hand wash in the shower after every ride with mild soap.machine-wash with detergent once a week.

>>930656I know of 4 "bicycle" elevators on bicycle routes in Sydney. 3 of these don't have a ramp alternative.
Finally a hobby to surpass railfans in autism level.
>>930656I don't assume anyone else has had their penis cut off by one of these and had to watch it fall down the shaft in shock?
What bike would /n/ recommend for a 240 lb ish rider looking to commute daily around 8 km to work and then back home again? Pic (possibly) related
>>930829>road bikekek
>>930847That was a typo
>>930832Be careful of taking analysis on this anonymous board, which has known marketers on it as well as a couple of well known framebuilders. The story is totally different elsewhere when posters have to put a name to the post.Surly bikes get a lot of hate on here, but universal praise elsewhere, I wonder why that is...
>>930862Because the Surly intern only posts on 4chan once every few weeks because he's too busy doing "social media outreach" on websites with actual userbases.
>>930822>uprightLHT has drops, and yeah I know they're touring drops but it still beats MTB geometry forcing you to go upright with flat bars. Unless you use Jones bars like that other anon said.

I'm trying to replace my bike's inner tube. I got the tube out and the old one in and this happened. The stem isn't long enough to fill up the tube. It's driving me crazy. Did I fuck up somewhere?
>>930866Common mistake, buy a new inner tube with long valve
>>930866u dun fukd up
>>930869>>930870Well shiiiiiiiit.At least inner tubes are cheap.
That's usually a result of having a double walled rim. Sometimes squishing the tire will buy you enough room to get a pump on it, and with a bit of air the valve will sit high enough.My problem is usually the opposite. The LBS will only stock tubes with the max stem length meant for use in deep aero rims.

>>929541In all fairness, Washington DC has a decent subway system.
>>929535Basically any transit system that use bombardier innovia rolling stocks as well as LRTs in european and asian countries
>>928393That's the big question.

>>929559Yeah from what I can remember from my time in DC the area in question is underserved by mass transit, I had to book a hotel there once because everything else was taken (inauguration) and I had to take cabs a lot.
>>928367Surprisingly, in Canadahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-Train#Lines
I'm from Europe and this looks retarded. Can someone explain how this works?
>>930456It's more for being able to turn into driveways, not just intersecting streets. It's too much effort for the DOTs to shift lane pattern for every damn driveway. Easier for the paint crew to just do the standard pattern, and let the drivers sort it out.
>>930456The center turn lane is much more flexible than marked lanes as long as traffic volume isn't so high as to be impenetrable to anyone wishing to make a left turn, it can hold a variable number of vehicles without blocking the through lane. Where I live the center turn is used on arterial roads that feed lots of neighborhood streets, but when two arterials meet at a stoplight then the lanes get directional markings.
>>930462>>930464Ah, thanks
>>930071...but the center lane IS "Another lane". Like you said, it requires an additional 10 feet of ROW. Just like any lane.
I avoid using the center lane unless strictly necessary because the local vernacular refers to it as the suicide lane.
Any brands to avoid? What's the best budget computer in your experience? Thanks!
>>930617what >>930624 said.The 500 is pretty much all you need even tho it's a rather old unit. I bought a 520 because I couldn't find any online shop that sells a 500 nowadays, at least no shop that ships to my country.
>>930611Seconded!

Why must the "metro" in LA be so shitty?I am all aboard going on my long commute to work this way but the steel seats with nasty used up padding, the stifled disgusting air, it's borderline unsanitary conditions.Last week they had 20 minute waits between lines, their reasoning was they're adding wi-fi ??? How about you get some new real trains...I dont know maybe it's just the lighting and the disgusting seats...I'm so sick of feeling like it's late 80s every time I board one. The convenience is great though.Is it better in most other cities outside of California?
There is literally nothing wrong with using rolling stock from the 80s.
>gigantic sprawling city and suburbs of 18 million people>metro has two too short lineslel
>>930432>LAMTA>dirtyLA is pretty shitty when it comes public transit but I've never had any problems with sanitation on the LRT and subway lines.>I am all aboard going on my long commute to work this way but the steel seats with nasty used up paddingRough seats are used everywhere because padded seats tend to be vandalised and they are massive bacteria magnets (just look at the reports on the seats that used to be used by BART in SF if you want an example of the problems with 'comfy' seats).>Last week they had 20 minute waits between lines, their reasoning was they're adding wi-fi ??? How about you get some new real trains...You sure that was the reason? They're on the verge of opening the Gold Line extension and that has been causing some delays.>complaining about trains from the 80sThose are practically new by rolling stock standards. Rolling stock can last upwards of 50 years in many cases.
>>930432>Bitches about rolling stock being from the 80's>The vast majority of Amtrak's passenger stock is from the 70's.
Everyone knows teolly cars are the best rail
Post news, pictures, videos of trams or light rail.>Pic is an Alstom Citadis 402 in Tours, France.
>>930668Better vantage.
>>930668>>930671Aren't there also at-grade crossings for passengers at that station?
>>927309They're still considered "light" in North America, because it does cross a few freight lines, and even the main E-W line for Southern Canada, and "MUH SAFETY REGULATIONS"
>>930844>all this bullshitWhy are you making shit up?The LINT41s and Talents are classified as 'heavy' rail vehicles according to Transport Canada and the only active mainline the O-Train system crosses is a CN main that carries very little traffic and is by no means one of their main trunk lines in Eastern Canada.
