These guys passed you on the last big hill before the cafe. Didn't even take pulls. What do you tell these Freds to not seem mad?
>>2030777Lucky trips aside flip flops are the greatest cycling footwear money can buy. I have fully converted.
>>2059709everyone knows riding park is for losers. imagine wanting to be around so many people, its the same reason I can't roadbike your literally just surrounded by people and cars 24/7
>>2060548Skill issue, I literally live in one of the densest most crowded places in north america and I can easily get to no-cars greenery and chillaxed riding just by riding half an hour out of the city. Even more so if I get on the train.
>>2062937our definition of no cars is clearly different. I live rural as hell and there isn't a road maintained enough to roadbike on that no cars drive on, on earth. When I say no cars, I mean most of my rides I literally don't see another soul for 3 plus hours. I probably see a side by side or atv once every 10 rides.
>>2062945I guess for me getting passed by a car every 30 minutes or so doesn't give me a rage aneurysm, I know for some it does, the guy who spams NJB shit and screeches about cagers maybe
>>2060709>park shill
>>2041371in other words, a front for stolen bikes
>>2041600Parking break, neato.
>>2041376>0.25Yeah he's either retarded or having you on. .25% is fucking nothing.Usually I'll leave my chains til either 1% or if they snap. Then ((IF)) the new chain skips on the cassette replace that. Never had to swap out jockey wheels or chainsets or anything, the units typically fail somewhere else before it becomes noticeable.Shop guys are fucking insufferable for the most part. Either booger eating fetuses who's last time on wheels was in a pram, or turbo tards who throw a hissy fit at any sign of someone actually using their bike as intended.
>>2041376Are you poor or something?
I bought an NJS frame. Does anyone want to make ignorant comments assuming that I have never ridden fixed-gear or that I don't know how JIS standards work or what toe overlap is or similar?Yes, I'll be riding it exclusively on the street.
>>2062911at least put some mtb bar ends near the top bend, or a Jones H bar or something so you can lay down power for climbs and speed.is that a nitto stem?
>>2062935>fast as fuckyou literally can't go fast in that position your acting as a human air brake, I guess you would likely go faster then me cause your 30bmi stomach would be piercing the air.
>>2062931it's comfier and your head position is better for seeing stuff around you such as traffic and fluffy deer booty
>>2062946You are in over your head.
>>2062911Sick! I bet it's fast. Nobody is going to expect that with those handlebars.

why doesnt /n/ make stickers?
>>2062790ppl like stickers tho
>>2062819please wipe your chain.
>>2062825it's not my bike but yes I serviced everything before I sold it
>>2062793Fuck you nigger
>>2062819kek. Respect the hustle.
I recently bought myself a gravel bike, and I think I made a mistake with the size choice. I'm 178 centimeters tall, and I bought size L. I chose the bike for bikepacking trips. Please tell me, how badly did I mess up, and is there anything that can be done?I already tried replacing the 80 mm stem with a 70 mm one with a 35-degree rise, but it's still uncomfortable.If I move the saddle forward, my arms get tired; if I move it back, there's pressure on my crotch.I don't know what to do. Bike was really expensive, and I am really upset.https://www.welt-bikes.com/int/en/bikes/gravel/g100?srsltid=AfmBOoomWCwXCkpeF1BI4s7ouy8IFDwJIQXgkUoUts0BFH6O2xLu-IQ2
>>2062853the dude got one of those adventure gravel bikes with enduro tier stack and not a performance road bike
>>2062854Exactly. So, should I adapt it, or there is no other options then sell it?
>>2062719>I'm 178 centimeters tall, and I bought size LWhy? Look at the Effective top tube height, that's really long.I'm 181cm and my bikes are usually either Large/53-54cm top tube length and it still feels like it's too large for me. I also apparently have weird proportions (shorter legs/long torso) which makes the exposed seatpost really short.Try buying compact dropbars (short reach) or 0 offset seatpost.Long story short, try out the bike before buying it.>but I'm buying onlineTry a bike with similar geometry from your LBS
>>2062858>he thinks bike shops still exist outside of california
>>2062858>Try buying compact dropbars (short reach) or 0 offset seatpost.Do not buy shit until you know where the fuck your hands should be.
Why is /n/ in general so much more friendly and cordial than other boards?
>>2062273I also love Sexual Assault
>>2062272Not in any major cityIt is as common as snow in Australia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Brazil or any mostly tropical/subtropical country
The smaller boards are always nicer. Compare >>>/diy/, which is helpful, with >>>/g/, which is visibly mentally ill. My main board is >>>/sp/, which is the most fun but it's full of incredibly repetitive spam threads. You could also compare >>>/co/ cartoon threads to >>>/tv/ cartoon threads. One is comfy and interested, while the other is frantically trying to just yell NIGGERS as many times as possible.
>>2047059Because the faggot janny bans you if you say anything negative about other races
>>2062879can confirm, i post in /ck/, /g/, /diy/ and now here and the larger the board the more mentally ill. but that's a good thing because the big boards will happily tell you you're wrong even if you're not, and then you will spend a lot of time learning to gather evidence for your opinions, to defend clear facts, and to even prove where you were or were not at a given time.
What are the advantages of these things as opposed to, idk, a bus?
>>2057462>Modern trams of largest size can carry over 400 pax,but aren't you going to have more than one operator on board a vehicle that carries 400 people? at which point, why not just use two smaller vehicles because its the same passenger to operator ratio
>>2062779>but aren't you going to have more than one operator on board a vehicle that carries 400 people?no, why would you?Subway trains have one-man operation in many places as well.Also it's not even so much about the amount of operators but of traffic density. You can have 20 vehicles/hour along a non-grade separated ROW (ie bus or tram lane) comfortably. But 40 is too much and you will get bunching. Hell 40 is even a lot for grade-separated ROW (like subways). Possible but tough to manage and impossible without grade-separation.
>>2057440I don't know, unlike a bus it isn't absolute dogshit. I don't know if this is also true where you other anons live, but here buses are notoriously unreliable and often just arrive and depart way too early/not at all. I don't trust public transport unless it has rails. Also, it isn't stuck in traffic as often as a bus I guess.
>>2062867Buses can have exclusive right-of-ways just like trains have. It's quite common on Latin America. Also light rail often doesn't have its own right-of-way and ends up getting stuck in traffic like buses do. >>2060312Bus lanes work best when they have something to separate them from regular traffic. Even if people stop using them as regular driving lanes, delivery drivers will park in them, as will taxi cabs.>>2057440Inflexibility, which sounds like a bad thing, but with a train on rails, you can be mostly assured that the route isn't going to change. People become regular riders when they can be assured the route won't suddenly change by a few blocks here, a few blocks there, and a loop added to the end that increases trip time by 15 minutes. When I lived in Atlanta, the transit system modified bus routes twice a year.
>>2057785>Surely not always.If you have an obligation in law to not block the tram tracks, then you're fucked. No excuses.But if the tram driver sees you, he won't want to hit you. That would ruin his schedule, and he'd probably have to fill in a bunch of paperwork.
How big can sail boats get? Is there an upper limit?
>>2061721What about rotors? There are several ships which use them. Can those sail upwind?
>>2062043iirc Flettener Rotors work best when sailing upwind but need to be powered, so are more for providing modest fuel savings rather than 100% of the propulsive power like youd get with a more conventional sailing rig
>>2061055The problem with sailing ships is that you can't stack containers on the deck. They would have to be xbox-huge to offset that drawback. Technically, it's not that big of a deal, but practically it will cause some issues. Upper limit is dictated by the layout of harbors, bridges, etc.
>>2061485the Earth is only holding the future of sail back
>>2061485That’s a huge bitch

Why was this thread removed from /sci/ ?
This stuff is ancient but I hope that it wasn't posted here before:The construction of the Japanese Shinkanzen high-speed rails, form 1964.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYjFOYLAtoEBoth the footage and the tempo if that of the '60s, so do NOT expect some twitch footage and on point editing. But, I think you all would appreciate it, or - at least - should see this!ps: use auto-subtitles. While at some point it it definitely an 'eh', it is better than nothing.

>>2061418>But has any hybrid used both engine and motor for launch?Technically any of those with planetary gears can do it. Those without still need to deal with the fact first gear is the most ineffective, and usually worst geared. Then again>When anemia comes on slowly, the symptoms are often vague, such as tiredness, weakness, shortness of breath, headaches, and a reduced ability to exercise.[1] When anemia is acute, symptoms may include confusion, feeling like one is going to pass out, loss of consciousness, and increased thirst.Without being anemic is a very straight forward sentence. It just has the problem that it has been mogged by Tesla introducing normal BEV acceleration.The Prius drives like a dream compares to some of the ultra shitboxes that only exist due European car culture combined with higher MPG vehicle trends.
>>2061421If starter/alternator weren't abandoned to drive belt for failure insulation, it could have been starter /alternator/power assist/harmonic balancer/flywheel. New prius finally looks good. Still an idiotic living room on wheels....
>>2061362>Aren't hybrids backwards? It should be electric assist for launch, then ICE on a parabola for cruise?electric motors and batteries were shit at the time so it wasn't economical. now that they are good, there no reason not to have a full ev instead of a hybrid. by like 2010 you could have just had A FUCKING LEAF instead
>>2061424I looked a used leaf 5 years ago, it was still 8K....batteries have 92 times less energy density than petroleum.

Why does a graffitied train have to be taken out of circulation immediately? How much does it cost in your country to clean up one graffiti piece? In Finland, the average cleanup cost is 600-700ish.
>>2061928> Ah yes ahmed now that we have followed this graffiti artist to a train yard that spans for block and blocks openly we can complete our duty to allah and make the pigs pay by writing our names on the containers!you're such a pussy just say you're scared and shutup
>>2058177i've never heard of it by that name but it's pretty well known that it's a thing. people even joke that you have to keep bathroom stalls clean because once the first child draws a little stick man in there, it's fucking over conversely, if you get some particularly talented vandal to just do a huge mural, vandals are less likely to write over it, and sticker-bombing stuff or even hanging shitloads of flyers is a good way to at least keep vandalism PG/limited to further being just people slapping stickers for their home businesses instead of scribbling GAIUS WAS HERE AND IS NOW A HOMO WITH HIS BEST BRO AULUS. and again many cities have designated tag walls specifically to contain vandalism/reduce hood nigga nonsense since even hood niggas seeing a well done mural of a local pop star or something wont tag over it (much)
>>2061947LOL. Flex more, toy bitch.
