i dont take the ferry every day but i used to take it home any time i ended work and wanted to go drinkingit's a hobo haven. there's a public library right there too and the pedbridge is overtly unsafe because it's full of gang members and hobos straight up live in it. there's signs literally saying "do not sleep here overnight" but the jeet security guards do not stop them. and particularly "tramp" styled boomer hobos like to fish from the boardwalk whilst smoking crack. it's actually the most east coast shit you will see in your life. some scruffy wiry individual wearing three parkas and no pants with a bright orange toque rolled up so far it's basically a beret will hit his glass pipe (filled only with hopes and dreams, supply chain issues, please understand) and throw his rod right in the wateralso people claim there's giant wharf rats around but i think they're just seeing raccoons. i've seen tons of field mice and a couple normal-sized rats but never a WHARF RAT (i did spot a marmotte-looking thing on the nearby trail once though)>>2062258don't visit prague
>>2062274I used to work right near there and I never saw one the fabled giant wharf rats either. I did have a one of those methheads express concern about me fishing in the harbour though, he said the mackerel there aren't good eating. I was keeping em for bait.
Do you wear a helmet while riding your bicycle?
>>2062456>walking is slow speed and you are always standing perfectly in your center of balancedoes everyone walk the same way with the same strides? are skinnier people not more fast at walking than fat people? does xir have a wobble? what about people who have to use cains?
>>2062459nta but in NYC if I run a red light on a bike it's a criminal summons, if I run over a person with a car it's "no criminality suspected", inb4 you demand a peer reviewed study with a bunch of conditions, no, you can look this up if you want, otherwise let's just go straight to the name calling
whats a helmet

>>2062533it's not rubber cement, it's "vulcanizing fluid".whatever little tube comes with a patch kit always has worked for me, but you can buy big cans of it when you run out. I put some in a nail polish bottle for my patch kit and keep the can at home. the brand I bought is called Hornet Tire but as long as it's called vulcanizing fluid or cement it should be cool. I just got the cheapest on scamazon
>>2062533there are new tubes made of thermoplastics, "TPU", but they're bright colors. they use different patches. also there's latex, don't know anything about them/never used.ordinary black rubber (butyl) is still the same, the patches are still the same.
>>2062385>>2062386NZ and JPN are both equally expensive ticket-wise but cycle touring Japan has always been my goalI kinda want to start with someplace easy though. I know for a fact that Japan is very mountainous since I've done a few rides there
Mark my words, horses will make a comeback as the superior transport method.
>>2058135that was not poop smell it was horse smell. I am amazed at how far removed from nature people from cities are, especially the lower classes who do not have extra income for travel. They seem to have very limited life experience
>>2060645God damn dude, move somewhere with some fucking grass if you're going to keep horses
>>2056982>Mark my words, horses will make a comeback as the superior transport method.
horses are for eating, clothing production, and sex. not transportation. not anymore
It is said that if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Are you one of the good ones, /n/? Do people say you're not like those other cyclists?
>>2057325It's not driving it's travelling so I don't need a license.
>>2061503I'm confused at the fact that sovereign citizens haven't worked themselves up to the highest levels of power, considering the miasma theorists somehow got control of the CDC it's only fair that the "I don't need car insurance or a valid license" people get their fair share of the federal government
>>2061503No one is stopping you from travelling. Get out and walk, fatty. Operating heavy machinery requires specialized training and licensure though, and you don't need to be in a machine to travel.
>>2061622soverign citizens by nature don't believe the government is even real, let alone want to be a part of it if it is. sorta like how moderate republicans don't really protest to get what they want because they are pro peace and order by nature despite all being armed to the teeth
I don't own a car because I don't need one, I wear aged cycling hats, have a beard, helmet mounted mirror, a rack on a vintage steel bike and slow my roll generally. I tend to piss off freds and make them risk their lives overtaking me because they MUST go faster and then simply draft them to annoy them even more.you mad?
Hey guys I love when school busses are repurposed either for USA van lifers or as public transit in other countries like MX, Nica, Guatemala, etc. SO I saw this and took a picture to share with you all I love the green color.

>The San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway (reporting mark SDAE) is a short-line American railroad founded in 1932 as the successor to the San Diego and Arizona Railway (SD&A), which was founded in 1906 by entrepreneur John Spreckels. Dubbed "The Impossible Railroad" by many engineers of its day due to the immense logistical challenges involved, the line was established in part to provide San Diego with a direct rail link to the east by connecting with the Southern Pacific Railroad lines in El Centro, California.>the railroad has a checkered history, with periodic disruptions in service to rockslides, storms, fires, and derailments, and has never been profitable>the line ceased being used in its entirety decades ago and has been bounced around by owner to owner ever since>at present, only a fraction of the line in San Diego, Mexico, and Campo is actively used, with the rest being left to decayHere's my questions:1. Were the "Impossible Railroad's" issues inherent to the climate and terrain, or more so the technological/economic limitations at the time of its construction (the railroad was built with anachronistic infrastructure such as wooden trestles)?2. If funding could secured, would it be possible to rehabilitate or even rebuild the line in its entirety using modern engineering techniques to negate the hazards that plagued its previous incarnations?3. What services could be provided to make the line economical, or even turn an actual profit? Obviously there's tourism, Carrizo Gorge attracts thousands of tourists a year (many of whom come to gawk at the ruins of the railway). I recently found out that the Mexican portion of the line is used to host the Tijuana-Tecate Tourist Train (pic related, several gallery cars that were originally intended for it but ultimately left unused) and has proven quite popular. But I'm also wondering industries could be served or even if a US-Mexico commuter service would be feasible (ignoring current diplomatic issues)
>>2057523>will have to go through customs inspections, twice, just to reach their destination.Check out the big brains on Brad. It's not like similar things don't happen between the US and Canada with no customs checks required.Most people on /n/ are completely fucking clueless yet pretend to be total experts.
>>2039300>The real money-maker in railroads has never been people, it's been freight.The real money maker in highways has never been people, it's freight.
>>2058499What point are you trying to make here
Nobody would want to use an ancient ass ROW that dips into Mexico.
>>2046941>So the coaches got shunted there, had the tunnel collapse, and the owners just went "fuck it" and left them there to rot?Yes
screenshot is from GTA4, I don't think it belongs on /v/
>>2062131it belongs on either /v/ or /o/, not /n/but also yes, it is realistic and in fact pretty tame, there are choppers far more crazy than that one
>>2062131Honda sells a factory chopper called the Fury, so yeah it's realistic. I'm not going to go into shit flinging fight whether a factory stock bike can qualify as a true "chop"per, choppers can be anything you want them to be
Pretty sure it's supposed to be a americans choppers style bike since that show was popular at the time

I have been on this site for 10 years and I only noticed this board today. Since I'm already here, I'd like to ask a question:Why are train autists so much more hated than other autist brands?
>>2060462Characteristics of Rail retard1. Low boiling point2. High pride3. Abnormal obsession with railways, coupled with eco-terrorist/leftist-like thinking
>>2060514Touch grass faggot, you make stuff like this up in your schizo head and think you're onto something. It's no different to any other hobby, I don't make it my personality and neither do most that I've known. You talk about "excess pride" when it's literally a matter of telling judgemental pricks like yourself to do one
By the way, where did this idea that“railway enthusiasts are often autistic”even come from?if you actually Google it, you'll find sites and descriptions pointing out that connection—it's not like there are zero of them.i bet there are papers or statistics on it in psychiatry or something.for example, in other countries, like Korea, there seems to be a derogatory term like“Trainsperger,”and if you search in Japanese, it looks like the word“Railfans”itself has become slang for disabled people.
>>2060514Nothing more conservative than not wasting public money...
whats the deal with that "how to dragon your train" thing
let me guess....you need more?
That would actually look bad ass if they did internal cables, got rid of the stupid dropper post, and put on a proper aerocockpit. I realize it's not necessary and not what the customer wants, but it would look totally sick
NOI need less!
