I am a railway fan from Moscow. In my free time, I make videos of trains, subways, and transportation. Ask questions about my activities, and the transport of my country, stereotypes, in general, everything that is interesting, I will try to answer.

>>2060832I think most of those are "soft power" propaganda videos but idgaf, I will literally watch manchurian candidate brainwashing videos that turn me into a BNWO sissy as long as it's comfy and train related and there are no ads or loud noises and as long as the brightness level doesn't vary too much throughout the video and there's no music

After trying a bike trailer I really can't understand the point of a cargo bike. The trailer is removable and easily stored when you're not using it. But with a cargo bike you're stuck with an enormous and awkward platform all the time.

Wine moms and toddlers on e-cargo bikes have now taken over the UWS/Manhattanville transition zone. I assume at least they paid for something expensive enough that it won't burn down their co-op building in the dead of night because the charger didn't have the 3C stamp of approval
As someone who for now has only flown in A320s and B737s I'm thinking of doing some bucket list planes. How long do you think Luftansa will keep 747's? What about A340's? At least Emirates will seemingly fly the A380 until 2040s, so with that I have time. But the 747 and A340 not so much.
>>2076996Metro is lots of fun if you are in the first row of pax seats - you can see the cockpit panel clearly. The one I flew in didn’t have an auto pilot and flew down finals at 120kts. Cruise descent was 240kts. A speed machine
>>2077003If A340 will disappear this year, then yeah I think that's one I will just have to accept I'll miss. With 747 it will be enough that I will get to fly on some 747. Whether it would be the 747-400 or 747-8 it's good enough for me. Especially if I'm able to get an upper row business class seat on one.Hopefully the situation in Cuba will calm down so I can maybe get on a flight with an Ilyushin il-96, since Cubana still flies it. I think flying on that one would make up for missing the A340.
I could've taken a quick trip down to Florida, but Silver's gone now. Probably my only chance to ride in an ATR
>>2076569If you haven't already, petition Kayak to let you sort flights by plane. Currently they just have "wide" vs "narrow" body, which is dumb as hell. I've never flown on an A380 and I want my kids to try the 747; but all the routes I know they fly, when I look at the details of the booking, are 777 or A349s
>>2077140You can go to the airline website to match it to Kayak. Almost all airlines only fly A330s, A350s, 787s or 777s for their widebodies. Only few airlines fly something special like an A380, A340 or 747. If you want to catch a 747 flight Lufthansa is almost your only option. With this I looked at Lufthansa website for the plane details and matched it to the Kayak one and just like this you could have a double 747 flight.

>>2077073My Summer Car is a meme game but is actually based on the time-honored coming-of-age tradition of finding some clapped out junker and bringing it up to road legality.https://www.huckmag.com/article/finland-racing-rally-teens-diywhile not completely homemade in that they are forging coil springs in the shed and making moonshine for fuel, it is basically the precursor to 24 Hours Of Lemons (the more american variant of this summer activity)https://24hoursoflemons.com/i dont follow enough cycling slop to have known beforehand if there is a bike equivalent but the old crusty (as in "crust punk") fixie scene is pretty similar and everyone's first few bikes end up as similar ship of theseus bodge jobs of 9 different 12$ bikes mashed together so maybe cycling doesn't need such a celebration of jank since we are always in it all the time

Are there some actually decent brands of bags/sacks for the trekking bike? I'm thinking of getting a casual side sacks for the rear for groceries while leaving top of the trunk free for attach whatever I end up needing to transport and attach with those rubber straps(I got the TUBUS brand, seems pretty solid).Generally I want it for commuting, grocery runs and weekend trekking. Thievery seems to not be so rampart over here, but I'm going to be fairly paranoid anyway, so I doubt I will be leaving it by the gym for over a hour or so(which is shame, because parking is sometimes an issue)
Got a used bike recently that's stuck in 3rd gear. It has a sachs T3 hub, and I got a new shifter for it. Apparently my local bike shop is saying there's something wrong with the cable. How much of a hassle is this going to be to get fixed? I thought this was going to be an easy replacement.
I need some technical help or alternate options.I got old now and cant push my 53/39 up hill in even the easiest gears anymore so I was looking to get a 50/34 chain ring to lower the gearing a little bit.Problem is I have an old CAAD 10 and the bottom bracket is bb30. Currently it has FSA gossmer cranks that have 130BCD and all the 50/34 chain rings I'm finding have 110BCD. The drivetrain is 10 speed shimano 105, I sort of found some sram cranks I think will work but I don't want to waste money if this ends up not being compatible.https://www.amazon.com/SRAM-Rival-Crankset-172-5mm-50-34T/dp/B00LAD0XLC/ref=sr_1_2 The only thing that doesn't seem to align is that the chain ring is for 11spds and I have a 10 spd setup but as I understand this isn't a big deal.
>>2077036pretty sure you can just get a BB30 adapter

Am I the only one who feels like a fucking loser wearing the dork helmet? Every time I go cycling the only ones wearing helmets are>elderly couples>loser nerdy white and asian guys>childrenNone of the cool masculine guys wear a helmetEven skinny short girls will stop next to me, with no helmet and I just feel like a fucking faggot for being a helmetcuckOn the other hand I don’t want to hit a pothole or a car and become a vegetable - so maybe I really am a pussy cowardWhat do you guys think of this?
>>2073807I like mine for smashing branches out of the way.
>>2075687Rhino helmet?
>>2073853This. My front wheel just slipped away last winter on a nice snowy single trail.It happened so fast and without any warning at all. I slammed on my side doing around 35km/h and my head hit some boulders and ice.My helmet was broken, my hip looked terrible and 2 ribs hurt like hell.Dont know if i had survived if i didnt wear a helmet. I was also lucky i didnt get unconscious because it had like -10°C and the only thing i wore were some thermo bibs and a really light jacket.Really remote location too without any hikers or other bikers on that day. I had other slams in the past but this was the one that sold the helmet for me on every ride. Dont care what others think if i stroll around on my cargo bike wearing one.
>>2075677>20km/hr
>>2076682km/h makes you feel like you're going faster than you are so I like it

>>2076988>nothing against carsEssentially, me either. If every car had at least a 100 pound of stuff, or a SINGLE OTHER PERSON in them, let alone four, and was only going as far as a bike couldnt, id shut up a bit. I watched a guy at a body shop, hop in his lifted truck (blue lives matter flag and all), and drive it to the royal farms next door. It was such a on brand event I thought I was being ranked. I spun around and asked where the cameras were.>>2076992In a perfect world, where a vehicle is a utility, not a fashion item, you have quick and available rentals for one such occasion.

Keep in mind this is for bikes meant to be loaded up. I guess a marketing exec at some point decided kickstands are for poors so no expensive bike can have them now, just like MTBs got stuck with Presta valves. They will literally drill 15+ holes just in case your bike bags use bottle bosses instead of straps, but outright refuse drilling 2 for a kickstand
>>2064947i bought a "dutch bike" in a pinch and it had one of those. it was complete dogshit and even had a "feature" where you couldn't remove the fucking key while it's open. so you can't put that shit on your keyring, and if you get a karabiner or something you have to worry about it dangling and getting caught on shit. I know it won't but i don't need that kind of stress wondering if the lock was just sticky or if it'll break one day and the key will fly away during a ride one day later. i took that shit right off after getting it home from my first ride when i got it. i inspected it and it wasnt even a good lock, the shank on it is fucking tiny. also using it just during that ride a couple times it got fucking caught on the spokes every goddamn time and you can't see in there to even sight if you're clearing the shit. awful fucking system. just carry a normal fucking cable or u lock.

>>20758141st thing first. Almost all the fat 20" bikes that you see around are horrible. They are cheap (as in the thickness od that fat tire is LESS than the thickness of a 23mm 700c tire for road bikes, the bearing are crap, the axels WILL bend, and so on...) and that's the ONLY positive thing that they have.That bein said, a 20" wheel is incredibly more robust.The smaller the wheel the more stable the bike is at LOW speed. The reason is that the wheel trails in front of the steering axes, and the smaller the wheel, the less the fork tends to "fall down" when you try to govern the bike at low speed and constantly steer the fork. You can spend an entire morning on fork geometry if you want to learn more. The center of gravity is lower and then bike feels nimbler. The wheel weights less and so complete stops and complete starts waste less kinetic energy. And other minor things.The feeling? You will never feel like you are gliding on dream's matter like you do on bigger wheels.
