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.

I did not see another thread on this so here we go. How does /n/ feel about downtown city airports? I know most world class cities such as London, New York, Washington DC, etc. Have proper downtown airports.

It looks like Toronto is going to get one as well. Until now, the Billy Bishop island airport, so named after a Canadian WWI fighter pilot ace, could only accommodate turbo prop aircraft.
The Province of Ontario is now looking to extend the runway to allow Jets. This would greatly expand the range of the airport, especially to far cities in western Canada and the southern United States. Potentially even western Europe.
Is this a good move, or a short sighted volley?

If I went around in the heaviest most inefficient shoes possible to make a statement, people would rightly think I was a tryhard, trying to show off how strong I was, or otherwise basically see it as impractical, quixotic, or foolhardy. Normal people prefer lighter shoes that are more comfortable and efficient. Especially elderly women, people who aren't fitness freaks, etc.

Yet if I do the same with a bicycle, all the urbanists want to suck my cock for being "practical". With bicycles, riding something comfortable, efficient, that doesn't ride like a boat anchor, is tryhard, show-off behavior. The least practical bike is seen as practical down to earth stuff for normals, and the most practical bike is seen as status-seeking show-off sports equipment for the very strong. Casuals belong on bikes that convert most of your pedal input energy into rattlecan noises and heating up the tires. Bikes that are reasonably effective at "bike things" are classified as competitive hobby gear.

When did this mentality take root and who is responsible?

Now that wider tires on road bikes are the default and you can barely even find a rim brake bike for sale anymore (other than at the antique store), how long before Big Cycling realizes there's no more upgrades to sell and if they want to continue selling bikes now they have to promote thin, high pressure tires and turn of the century frames as an improvement (complete with convincing-looking data presented by convincing-sounding "engineers")

how soon can an out of shape person adapt to cycling 8 miles a day? 4 miles to and back.

I am thin, skinny fat. I bought a used trek bike and I tried cycling just straight for 10 mins and lost my breath. I got a foldable ebike as a gift but I haven't tried it yet.

Do I just keep doing it? Can it be dangerous if you continue to push yourself?

I just really hate sitting in traffic. My city is very bike friendly, but hilly. But I also don't want to give myself a heart attack to save on gas money.

i did the conversion wrong in my head and it's not 4 miles. for some reason i was thinking that that's a bit over 8km. my commute is about 9km. still slow but i was thinking of what my speedo normally reads on or off power and the math wasnt lining up.

4mi is more like what i did to get to college and yeah that would take me ~20 mins including traffic lights and such and not really trying. i think i did it once in like 15 but got every light and actually ate that day. but i wont lie about being a fat nigga who vapes now. if i can do it so can op

Due to a labor union strike the busiest train system in North America is completely shut down

https://longisland.news12.com/2026/05/17/lirr-service-suspended-on-day-one-of-historic-strike/4loTlXtTUwBPvTZquC1dIh

LIRR workers in the striking unions have a median/average salary around $131,000–$136,000 (highest-paid railroad workers in the U.S.), with total compensation often exceeding $200,000 including benefits. Many top earners make over $250k with overtime. https://www.newsday.com/long-island/transportation/lirr-pay-highest-wages-deovhmtu

>a BYD couldn't happen in the west
A BYD couldn't happen in the west because we already have automobile manufacturers and they all agree "fuck any new competition."
And even with all the uphill struggle, Tesla happened somehow. The real reason it was over-valued wasn't entirely because it was Elon Musk (but he did cash in on the over-hype). It was because it was a brand new automobile manufacturer that wasn't saddled with decades of debt restructuring after debt restructuring, and investors were like, "holy fuck, if this actually happens against all odds..."
>>
>>2073997
Eh, Tesla is still considered to have somewhat better ride quality overall, no? And both BMW and Mercedes are coming up, they just need to improve the software a bit, the actual cars are really good now. And the most sold EV brand in Europe was VW last year.

The naive think d.c. turned nigger cause they walked out of the south and sat on the captial steps so they couldnt be enslaved again.

The reality is they know government jobs are a cakewalk, and secure. Anyone says anything just cry racism, and the government being at heart a liberal endeavor, they get away with everything. Meanwhile, real racism is all these offices being fat, middle aged, unfuckable black women. They've been getting reparations for decades while the rest of us have to live in the real world.

yeah the piaggio locks automatically at low speed though (at least its supposed to, its not a perfect system). I tried to get my aunt to buy one since she has trouble with cars these days. she can't actuate the brake and accelerator pedal, but her arms are okay.

some dude near me owns a piaggio and while it still looks gay in pictures and sounds gay in concept, it's actually pretty neat to see in person. and they still lean quite a bit. probably more than an equivalently sized gas scooter

would never, ever buy one though
