>drive 30+ minutes down a road>it just stops>no outlet, get rekt niggerthe life of a courier is nasty, brutish, and short
>>2082770At the end of the road is another road
Even turning around and back tracking is a road
Isn't Czechia just now finally building a connection to the Polish motorway system?
>look how retarded the Magyars are, they build roads that start and stop out of nowhere
>>2083112I think the pic is more a joke on a kind of unrequited love/effort, you autist
Is Philadelphia the ultimate /n/ city?
>>2083475ah yes, cant build good cities cause niggersof coursehow could i forgetand it isn't as micb a conspiracy at this point as it is simply a deeply engrained delusion about what enables good near, mid and long distance travel for many people at a low cost to them individually and society as a wholeperhaps the early 1950s where they bulldozed near every city centre to make room for cars was the conspiracyafter that it was simply as I already stated obstinate idiocy and lack of the cognitive flexibility that would enable the people involved to envision something different and likely betterniw the milunicipal planners and the fiddly numbers/cad drawing people mistly know about this stuffit is the political subhuman class like e.g. doug "fat crack addict" ford in ontario and his constituency of retarded boomers that constantly roll back and destroy better designs in plan and practice leaving everyone in a state of limbo
>>2083601>perhaps the early 1950s where they bulldozed near every city centre to make room for cars was the conspiracyI don't understand why it's somehow unfathomable to imagine that downtowns simply became undesirable to do business in, as with any neighborhood in decline. And no, parking minimums had nothing to do with it since that only applied to new development and downtown was exempt anyway.
>>2083601aren't niggers and nigger culture your absolute measures of prosperous social life and wealth, mr urbanite? they're the perfect humans you envision - incapable of existing without a nanny state and fiscally and physically impulsive and irresponsible.>it is the political subhuman class like e.g. doug "fat crack addict" ford in ontario and his constituency of retarded boomerssee? anything except niggers and browns are the antichrist because they refuse to be leashed niggercattle.>that constantly roll back and destroy better designslet me guess, they do it by putting on nigger masks and do the killing, stealing and littering in your prosperous urban areas on sundays while nobody's looking.
>>2083608Meds NOW!!!!!
>>2083608hahaha, the nigger is a godlike edifice in the barren landscape of your psychotic mindi wont even honor you with a proper response because clearly your are just a stupid half-sapient animal acting on reflexesjesus fucking christget a grip faggot
First day of a one year bicycle trip.Let's play a game. I'll regularly post, in this thread, pictures of the bike in different places, use your OSINT skills to pinpoint where i'm at.Rules :- Find out the street name in a city or a town name in the countryside ans I'll post boobs.- I'll rarely use another mean of transportation, but when I do I'll only mention the type and duration.- I'll always leave the correct timedate in the filename.- maybe some more rules later.
>>2083145the girl from universewithme has toured the entire planet on drops near saddle height, which is what this guy has.
i've given up on the idea of touring it's just a shitload of expensive gear only for the dogshit experience of being on the roads constantly
>>2082910>>2082913>Find out the street name in a city or a town name in the countryside ans I'll post boobs.>>Never posts againHoly kek
>>2083164i dont see why this shouldnt work. cruiser bars up top, drop hooks down low.
>>2083174i dont know. to me long distance riding means aero bars so you can lay down over your front wheel and just pedal for hours without tiring your upper body
What is your city's train system like?
>>2080506I wish I could say that Switzerland doesn't have gay and cringe subways and only based and chad trams but of course those meddling frech-swiss had to screw it up. They actually converted a pretty kino little rack railway (formerly funicular) into an abhorrent rubber-tyred metro.
>>2080506it's fine except I'm in an area where there's none. *sigh*
my city doesnt have one because it's full of retards but also the geography is unironically bad for it
The Montreal metro has become disgusting.
Say that everyone on a commercial jet gets knocked out, except for one passenger. Can a person with zero flight experience land it if they're guided by air traffic control?
>>2080116Closest examplehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWUG1qOCAWg
>>2081039You DO have to know how to tell it to do that.Pic could blind land back in the sixties.
>>2081036Bold of you to presume this is an American aircraft
>>2080127If both pilots are incapacitated, there is a way to get into the cockpit without them needing to unlock the door. However, German Wings had a hostile pilot, so that flight was fugged. FlyDubai also was almost fugged for a similar reason but, as the story goes, the captain was able to open the door.
James May has a book about this, he also says yes so long as autopilot works.
Old thread from 2023 finally hit bump limit >>1955863New thread. "Cycling infrastructure" is harm reduction. But not in the way you probably think. The anti-bike crowd considers riding a bicycle on public roads as an offense against the interests of motorists. An so, they wish to create infrastructure to reduce cycling (harm). Yes! Those who advocate for "separate but equal" are (whether they admit it or not) working against the interests of bicycle users:-The American Automobile Association strongly supports bike lanes-Countries that place responsibility on car drivers have 70-90% fewer fatalities per billion km traveled by bike. This is of course beyond the pale, drivers must always have total immunity. But hey, look, green paint! We solved safety!-The true purpose of bike lanes is to neutralize the opposition by corrupting the discourse. Don't support bike lanes? Then you must not care about safety!-Bike lanes have a curious pattern of appearing where they are superfluous, and vanishing as you approach potential traffic conflict zones. This way, when you get run over by a dump truck making a turn, it's your fault! You shoulda been in the bike lane that wasn't there!In conclusion: bike lane activists hate cyclists and want to eradicate cycling as a form of transportation.
>>2083455>your psychotic delusionssays the communist vermin malding over people being able to move around without it being managed by the state.>the components of a self-defeating societygoing quite strong for a self-defeating society so far>people like you deserve to be disenfranchisednon-people like you deserve to experience everything that communist societies eventually implement onto their useful idiots once they've outlived their usefulness
>>2083477>being able to move around without it being managed by the statedriving is a privilege afforded to you predicated on registering "your" vehicle and having a license that only lasts max a year at a time before requiring you fork over more cash to renew it
>>2083477>having bike paths is communism actually>le tyrannical murderours commie societies (he clamors, after wishing death to interlocutor over municipal infra planning disagreements)you're the best "commie" of them allyour unending obstinate idiocy and readiness to commit yourself to idle cruelty is extremely in line with what a society of police stateism and denunciation requiresget out of my sight, you fetid lowly dog of a man
>>2083592>driving is a privilege afforded to youactually it's a right that's penalized at every corner by the state trying to run it into the ground via overregulation and taxation.
>>2083600angry axewound seething isn't an argument, mister. how about dilating and joining the 41% before the real communism arrives and teaches you the meaning of cruelty beyond making you upset over the internet?
Anyone else feels like absolute shit after crashing? it's not even the pain of it it's just the faith in your ability slowly dying inside. When I was younger it was whatever but now it feels like someone chipped away a chunk of confidence.
>>2046153Based optimist. I believe in you.
>>2079139Well he wrote crashes plural so it's safe to assume it's 365 days a year. Probably keeps a crash journal>>2080201You walked for like 4h with broken ribs? What was it like? (besides painful and depressing)
A few days ago I got hit for the first time in a decade of riding, a few tens of thousands of miles and it was a pathetic collision>riding down a hill on a right shoulder bike lane>levels out and there's some houses on the right>line of traffic barely moving>I get to the evened out area>suddenly car turns right a few feet in front of me, I guess one of the houses was theirs>I yell and try to turn wheel so I don't hit head on>some woman, omg I didnt see you etc>i scuffed up her car a few spots>bike fine>the top joint in my left pinky is definitely hurt in some way, its bruised up and hurts, probably sprained or something>form makeshift splint out of stick and tape it to my ring finger, the hell im going to a medical facility and paying a shitload for scans or whatever
>>2045580>Risk can't totally be eliminated, but it can be mitigated....>nd I still don't wear a helmet now. I figure when it's my time to die, it's my time to die. A helmet isn't going to change that. SIs this bait?
>>2045580Better hope you die and dont end up trapped in your body as a retard. Brain injury ain't nothin to fuck with.
I hate these niggas
>>2082191This is why you leave your reflectors in. Reflectors vicious spin keeps a coasting bicycle from looking like a swanning object animals will stay away.
>>2082753this is why i brake for birds and then briefly consider roaring into the night for the song dogs
>>2082243Squirrels don't have buddies, they are fiercely territorial assholes and the second one was probably going to pin the first one down and chew his nutsac off, so hold your head high, you literally did nothing wrong
>>2082225Ahh yes, the ol Kung Lao 240zx 's
pigeon flew straight into my front wheel today. when I looked back it was gone so I guess the little retard lived. it's a miracle it didn't send me otb or wreck my front wheel considering it's an 18 spoke radial. scary
The most masculine white from of transport is a handcrafted 2-stroke bicycle.The fuel crisis and subsequent collapse will separate the wheat from the chaff once and for all.>b-b-but the government says they're dirty!NGMI. I bet you got the jab, too.
>>2083561Kek, the mental gymnastics you fags do to avoid pedaling is unreal.
>>2082363>The fuel crisis and subsequent collapseAssuming this isn't another episode of "urban dweller thinks fuel prices don't affect him since he doesn't have a car", anything remotely close to a "Mad Max" scenario you would want to have something that has some sort of storage capacity more than what you can carry on your back or a milk crate, something with three or four wheels.
>>2083577>fuel being expensive means it's "mad max"or you just want to get 70mpg instead of 10
>>2083589>instead of 10What are you driving, a tank?
>>2083594Welcome to America
If you brake, you don’t win.
>>2083558took me a while to realize that XING isn't the name of the Chinese deer who lives in these hills lol

Should a city the size of Toronto have more, less, or about the same amount of rapid transit?
>>2082294Are you talking about the GO RER/GO Expansion? I think they basically scaled that project way back. It's still on the books as something they're pursuing but pushed off way into the future. I don't think there's much funding for it right now.From what I can tell, they are planning to upgrade/electrify incrementally, starting with the lakeshore lines which are the most used and provide all day service.
>>2082294>How's the funding stream for GO train electrification?Is that the one where they had a contract with DB in Germany to operate the lines, and then fired them because a single politician/bureaucrat (I forget precisely which) got pissed off they planned to run all-day frequent train service instead of commuter train service.Like, straight up ignored the contents of their entire business case and went, "Nah, I think I know better than the train company we paid to do this."
>>2082325Sounds like NIMBY nonsense. God, I fucking hate NIMBYs.
>>2082293I used to live in Ottawa, but you are correct, I only ever biked there recreationally and to get to recreation locations rather than biked to get to work or run errands.
>>2082325toronto transit is done badly on purpose so they can point at it and go SEE IT DOESNT WORK and rip it all out asap
>>2076727Presumably that's what he meant. DMIR ore jennies had a seperate brake pipe/valve. It's called "straight air" or Orinoco retainer. There is a seperate handle on the engine to set up the brakes and it can be maintained as you use your normal automatic brake. The Orinoco *retainer* name hints at its intended use. It basically takes the place of a conductor going back and flipping some retaining valves to hold a set on cars.This system still exists today with CN keeping captive AC44C6Ms in the area(3300-3350 mostly) being fitted with the straight air handle.
>>2076727>>2076731>The Mesabi Range was known to the local Ojibwe as Misaabe-wajiw ('Giant mountain').[1][2] Throughout the Mesabi Range, Mesaba and Missabe spelling variations are found along with places containing Giant in their names.
I guess it's like allegany/allegheny/alleghany where there's a bunch of places around that drainage basin where they spammed a different transliteration onto it because there was no agreed system at the time
>>2078743The Ojibwe rode Giants?
>>2076690>misabe rangeWhat's that?
Can someone tell me what Japanese residential streets are called? I’ve never been to Japan but in videos and anime I keep seeing these narrowish neighborhood streets that lead right up to people’s houses. They’re super walkable even though they almost never have sidewalks, people just walk down the middle of the road. Doors basically open onto the street and there’s almost no on-street parking so the whole thing feels open and free. What’s the actual name for this style of street/layout? Is there a specific term or is it just "normal Japanese residential street"?
>>2079194its the lack of cars parked anywhere that gets me all the time
>>20828523 can count 3 cars in the picture
>>2079194>whole thing feels open and freeThat looks claustrophobic af
>>2082918Pedestrians dominate these, so it feels more like a 4m wide sidewalk. Opposite of claustrophobic, really.
>>2079194>the whole thing feels open and free.
Should public transit focus on access or efficiency?Access means you have full access to underused (but possibly vital to some) routes and night/weekend service at the cost of undermining the "public transit is efficient" argument, but efficiency means you cut those routes and timetables.Can't have both in a single system.
>>2079778>cities get magic returns on revenue by giving subsidized travel to minimum wage workersyeah, we should quit building roads for the exact same reason. we should only build roads that charge a fare and if they're not profitable we should tear them up
>>2079200If I can't get everywhere in the city it's not effective public transit, just a commute/shopping line.
>>2079200Privatise and deregulate the whole lot.>>2079275Paid for more than twice over from car and fuel taxes.>>2079343Imaginary thinking
>>2079200ACCESS all areashttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka8kT_YOtU0
