>it's another "anon has nothing to do on a beautiful weekend so he goes on an aimless 20-25 mile bike ride for an hour or two just to be out of the house" episode haha gee it was great biking past all the families, friends, people with children, eating at restaurants, walking the streets together, doing stuff at the park, and living their lives happily while i was complete self-congizant how im the autistic retard biking alone through town
>>2024469Oh, and for cleaning I tend to do it before a monthly meetup if my bike is really dirty, or I am wrenching on it.I use whatever cleaner I have nearby. Sometimes purple power, big orange, simple green, dish soap, etc.
>>2024492do you clean the icetech fins on your rotors?
This is how I spent most of my 20s and I don't regret it
>>1999704atleast OP recognizes he has a high level of 'tism
>>2002570I get what you're saying but it's more complicated than>durr 4chan and internet is badbecause while most people don't post online, most people do rot their brain on netflix, with videogames, etc... are they still happy? are they immune to the listlessness that seems to pervade our modern world? not so sure
...why in the love of Hitler did this happen?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-t5lbPJGsYDid nobody consider that oversized loads (giggity) need to be protected? Did nobody call UP dispatcher to inform them of the blockade once it happened? This wasn't some soccer single mom doing OF in her car to support her mutt kids, those were professionals moving a high-value freight. Yet - two men are dead and millions of material damages were sustained.How fucking come?

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.
>>2024166>Both the footage and the tempo if that of the '60s, so do NOT expect some twitch footage and on point editing.My brother in Christ that's exactly the reason why I prefer to watch old films.
>>2024166simply amazing
>>2024166fuck, that was great, thanks./r/ more old documentaries
>>2024166Wished that guy finished his translation. It should be there for the first 10 minutes or so.>>2030183Here's another good one from the same time period, with translations. About the life of Japanese steam train crews.https://youtube.com/watch?v=7esbkGHoWUs
Why do they only make documentaries about economically-sound train lines where everything went right? Shinkansen became much more interesting after the government starting building them for political purposes, bankrupted the JNR, and is now going through the same motions again in the form of JRTT which the government retained ownership of
For me, it's Hiboy
These things will kill hundreds of passengers in a gruesome and excruciating way without batting an eye but we're supposed to accept getting shot by cops because some random bum might not pay their fare

Do you guys ever have conversations with other people on public transportation, or try picking up girls there?>yet another day riding the subway sharing a car with plenty of cute girls, normal looking guys, and never make conversation with anyone to try to make friends or get a date>it's been like this nearly daily for 10 years>even see the same people getting on and off at my same stop, they live near me, and still never speak to anyone
>>2024451typical useless advice from a boomer
>>2024466>>2024476obviously it was a much different time when bill was doing that and giving that advice. when everyone now has their ears plugged with headphones and eyes locked on a phone or computer, theyre actually doing something, unlike back then when people would jsut look ahead or look out the window. now f you ever want to talk to someone, you're taking their attention from something elsei know its really corny to want to meet someone on a subway, especially when you consider that if the person doesnt want to interact with you, theyre now stuck with you for another half hour. but it just really sucks. it should be such a great opportunity to meet people. you see them getting on/off at your home stop so you guys presumably live near each other, you have half an hour doing nothing to get to know them, you could even get their number and try to meet them for the ride back as well, have at least a few hours of conversation just on your work commute in a week.i dont see how this is any weirder than meeting someone on a dating app, but i guess its completely frowned upon.
>>2024480It's not frowned on and it's not impossible you just need eye contact a couple times and a smile first. That is a very soft and obvious way of getting someones approval to talk to them.
>>2024451it's pretty common to see a man try to talk with a beautiful woman on the train, and in most cases they persist, and eventually she acknowledges his existence and gives a blank smile and does the bare minimum to confirm she is hearing what he is saying, while avoiding showing any emotional reaction. in about 1/4 of cases he says something disarming eventually to confirm he's not going to violently rape and murder her, and she relaxes. in other cases, he eventually tires of the badgering and pipes downI'm not doubting that this bill bur guy "talked to women" successfully, but just in terms of basic odds, the odds are in favor of him frightening a random woman into pretending not to be scared/disgusted by him for a few minutes, and then moving on thinking he's a champion romeo seducer while she spends the next 20 minutes trying to get her heart rate to go back down
>>2024480>i guess its completely frowned upon.It's not you just need to be attractive, and more importantly don't be unattractive

We even got bonuses like thru-axle, 3d printed saddles, internal routed everything, and aero frames/cockpits, which let's be honest, you weren't really expecting were you?Can the cycling industry outdo itself or is it now a plateau of stagnation?
>>2024100what's your definition of "decent"
I've got a new one. We need ERG mode drive trains. This would basically give you infinite gears.
>>2027594what's erg? equity, reparations, and gender bending? if so I would like more of this too
>>2027594This reality is close, mechanically geared CVTs are near production and power sensors are becoming more accessible. Give it a computer brain to automate the gearing ratio within a specified power target and there you go, work based output.

What does /n/ think of tomorrow's upgraded, more inclusive bike lanes? Cagetrolls will hate this, but I for one think it is perfectly reasonable for bike lanes to be open to any vehicle that doesn't have an ICE or require a Class A CDL to operate legally. What's the point of bike lanes if nobody is going to use them!??!?
>>1954601Absolutely agree. 100% truth
>>1963003It only works FOR KNOW, while the majority of population is destitute. Just 20 years ago, the whole of Vietnam rode bicycles. Nowadays, everyone rides motorcycles already. And although most of the roads in Vietnam are not designed for cars, some retards still go into debt to buy a cage just to spend twice as much time on the road. And they buy huge SUVs, not something compact. A single SUV creates a traffic jam out of nothing, just when it needs to turn around or park. The Vietnamese don't care about comfort, ecology or anything else. The only thing they care about is showing off. If they don't all drive huge SUVs, it's not because they like bikes - no. They just don't have the money for a bucket of nuts yet.A good example would be Japan
the right move would be to get rid of them altogether, like they're doing in canada

We like trains.https://www.strava.com/clubs/28352Let's get some new riders for the spring. This kinda fell off post covid.
Nobody likes to ride?
It disgusts me how today's so-called "cycling activists" are doing the work of the automotive lobby while thinking that they're the good guys.Imagine if a bunch of politicians started pushing for a special residential area for a certain group, after having them habitually assaulted with weapons for many years. "We're terribly sorry about all the bloodshed but can't guarantee your safety, if you want to be safe, you have to go in this special place we designated for you".That is what bike lanes are. We've tried "separate but equal". It doesn't work, because tyranny of the majority means a highly flexible definition of "equal".People who have been riding bikes for many decades know what the game is. But zoomers and corona cyclists believe they know best. Instead of demanding justice, they demand segregation. Which is exactly what the automotive supremacists want.

This is the dumbest OP I've ever seen.
What is the intent behind statements like "I'm not a cyclist, I'm just a person who gets around by bike"?At a surface level it is obviously meant to (proverbially) throw other cyclists under the bus, but to what end? Would it somehow appease the anti-bike people if the person "blocking traffic" didn't agree to be referred to by the word "cyclist"?
>>2027882That really seems outlandish to you? Where I live now bike is faster than car. I was just using that example to show that even in areas where it's not a distinct time advantage to be on a bike, it can still be a viable or even preferable option depending on the big picture.
>>2000002By your logic we're all artists and musicians then too.
>>2000001I'm not a cyclist, I don't know how to ride a bike
>>2027883>Where I live now bike is faster than car.That car was Albert Einstein.
