Well /n/, give me one reason (besides "exercise") I shouldn't sell my shitty commute pushbike where I can barely sustain 25kmh despite being fit and get this?
>>2065822Front launching death trap. At least your push might mount a hazard, cause it doesnt have shopping cart wheels. Any electric push proportioned scooters?
Ignore the incels in this thread. There's nothing more satisfying than close passing lycra fags at 60kmh and watching them seethe
>>2066017>looking at sweaty men in lycra from your scooter is more satisfying than sex with a womanYou do you stud, lmao.
>>2066018As a lycra fag, that is basically what got me wearing lycra. People are a lot more dependent on hair and clothing and obviously tits than they will let on, but you can't see tits from behind, so all you have to go by is the ass and legs and arms. And ignoring the exaggerated cases of hyper-curvy women or hyper-T-shaped men, most people who aren't accustomed to seeing shaved legs in lycra can't instinctively clock if it's a male or a female from that angle, until they see the face. And since they associate that style of pants with women, it jams up the heuristics and they get confused and seethe when they see it's a dude.
>>2065822Because with those tiny wheels the moment you find a pothole you're gonna need a pilot's license.

>>2065849>For triple the price.Last time i took the train it was literally half the price of a flight. Sorry you live in the US where mass transit is specifically designed to be as Protestant as possible
>>2065241They care, but it's of secondary or tertiary importance in most cases. The military is forced to hang onto their planes a lot longer than commercial aviation due to the vagaries of congressional funding instead of a steady income of ticket sales, so the opportunities for technology insertion are limited, and small percentage increases in performance won't pay off over the lifetime compared to commercial air where they're sortieing multiple times a day. A lot of time is spent working on obsolescence issues, replacing parts that stopped being made decades ago. The military does take big swings though, a lot of engine firsts happen there.They swapped the old 4 blade canoe paddles on C-130H models to 8 blade NP2000 props and dropped the noise significantly. It also upped the performance so JATO bottles were no longer needed when working in polar conditions.https://www.133aw.ang.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/3029257/133rd-airlift-wing-welcomes-first-eight-bladed-propeller-c-130/Anyhow I spent several years doing military jet engine procurement, so I can speak a bit from experience.

I have gone 5 rides without it dropping more than one indicator bar and have never had it die on me. Great light, honestly. I did de-solder the cable and cut it down though, it was way too long.It's an Evolva, probably some defunct Chinese nothing brand.

Disasters never have one root cause and neither did the destruction of cycling. But I know some important milestones in the decline and fall:1. COVID 19. Enough said.2. Full suspension mountain bikes. Enough said.3. Reddit. Enough said.4. Twitter. Enough said.5. British "people". Enough said.6. The d-tch. Enough said.7. The state of Utah. Enough said.8.

Is the railway museum in Saitama all it's hyped up to be? I have a full-day layover in Tokyo (flying from the USA to Australia via Haneda) in August and just want to focus on a couple of things instead of dashing around Tokyo in the humid summer heat.Also, what train companies in the Kanto region have the best merchandise? I'm probably going to want to get a few souveniers.
>>2065729Japanese rail is all it is hyped up to be. Plan your tour and enjoy.I can't read that back without a Japanese salesman voice.
>>2065729saitama museum was okay. too much old stuff imo. id rather spend time on the actual railwayssotetsu and keikyu have irl stores. i think odakyu and tobu do as well at their museums. saitama museum will have a bunch of jr stuff
>>2065841Thanks for advice.The Railway Museum is only one of a few things I have lined up to check out in Saitama (I plan on going to the Bonsai Museum first and doing some generic shopping around Omiya Station for non-train goods) afterwards so perhaps I can budget a little more time for other things.Regarding Tobu, do you know if their stations are manned and if they sell merchandise at the ticket booths? I ask this because the Tobu Museum/Store is closed on Monday (the day of my layover) and they do serve Omiya.

You guys like Roaring Camp?I like Roaring Camp.
>>2065564Yes but they haven't used it to pull trains since the 1980s. It can handle the climb up the mountain, but can only pull 2-3 coaches at most (the average consist is 6 coaches) so it's not very efficient. They do like to run it back and forth on a shorter line though.I actually floated the idea to a conductor that they should do occasional excursions with 1-2 coaches but apparently management cares more about getting the full revenue value of a 6-car train.Pic from the 2018 Day Out with Thomas event. Pity too, they could definitely dress it up as a relatively convincing Percy.
It's an overpriced tourist trap so no
>>2065917>overpricedGotta admit that $50 for a 90 minute trip compared to Niles Canyon's $30 is a bit of a hard sell, but I Roaring Camp runs as a year-round business with paid staff so profits are a must for them. With NCRY, they can afford the lower prices because they only need to pay for the upkeep of the property and the rolling stock.Day Out with Thomas is a total ripoff though.
>>2065925>Day Out with Thomas is a total ripoff though.Yeah, but the kids love it.
I went there as a kid and no other train experience really lived up to that. You must have to be a really jaded foamer to say stuff like this >>2065917
>forced to move to northern vagina from idealic merrimack valley massachusetts>everything is worseI do live near dulles though and I can see planes approach the runway at all times of the day.

I can see them clearly from my dining room table and watch them while I eat.It's peak cozy ngl.

I've found that the gays in NoVa have much more fun kinks than the ones in DC proper or MD. Plus VA is going hard blue and has full statehood, so it seems like a no-brainer despite being, arguably, flyover land.
