Lets see them again for the hundredth time.
This is not my bike and I haven't been on /n/ in years. But anon, do you still ride?
>>2080316feel you, was locked out of riding fixed for a few years for the same reason>>2081169pretty, love the headtube lugs and fork curve>>2081464wilier is a pretty well known italian brand nona, izoard is the model (named after a french mountain pass)finally ordered a track frame so you autists stop sperging about conversions
>>2081770>finally ordered a track frame so you autists stop sperging about transitionsFtfy
>>2081757I'm not that anon but I remember they had a stable of awesome bikes
>>2081757I don't even like road bikes and think that thing looks amazing.
In general I prefer older road bikes with rim brakes, exposed cables, mechanical shifting, tubes, weight > aero etc. The modern disk brake bikes just don’t make sense to me. I don’t hate them, if I lose my rim brake bikes and can’t purchase another or parts for my bikes, I won’t stop riding, I will buy a modern bike. But I have never ridden a modern bike. I can’t rent it here and I have no friends with one to borrow. So, sometimes I wonder - are they really that bad as the rim brake enthusiasts make them to be? I mean, majority of the bike riders out there are on modern bikes and they do not complain, they seem happy with their bikes, so bad could they be? So if somebody who has ridden a lot both - which is really the better option and is there even a better option or both are just fine?I do ride XC MTB as well and my MTB is with disk brakes, tubeless, electronic shifting. So, I am familiar with the technology, I like it on my MTB (minus the e-shifting, but that’s how the bike came), but I still think these are not right for the road. But since I haven’t tried, I don’t know. So, am I right it my assumptions or am I missing out and people that are bashing the modern bikes are just contrarians?
>>2081765>Get an old steel road bike and give it a try to understand what you've lost.I have more miles on vintage steel than you'll clock up in your life and I'm not going back to rim brakes ever. ever. I don't blame you for clinging to that past but you do need to recognize that is what you are doing and stop expecting other people to do the same.
>>2081785same, i only ride oldass bikes and discs are just straight up superiorthe only reason they didnt catch on is because cyclists are retarded and will literally try to bring in Roller Delayed Blowback to braking before admitting that anything cars or motorcycles use is there for a reason. even cable actuated disc brakes are massively superior but retards will still use fucking coaster brakes just to be contrarian
>>2081786Discuck cant fathom the coasterCHAD brake
>>2081786>>2081791>HK makes a bike>you still can't afford it >they still hate your guts
>>2080464>disc brakes are bad because they're electronic Are you a GCN host?
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.
>>2081433>There are both retarded cyclists and motoristsAll the more reason to keep these two groups separate
>>2081095>constantly switching to neutral when braking or going down slopes and going through several lower gears when quickly starting from a stop without stallingNot an issue unless you're retarded
>>2081753>motorizedNot a bicycleYoure a vagrant on a scootie Not cool enough for a motorcycleNot smart enough for a bicycleThe worst of all worlds, reserved only for subhuman scum
>>2081790>Not broke enough for a bicycleftfy
>>2081790but I am obviously the smartest person on the road, and therefore the richest

>>2065221Welcome back, NS Savannah.https://shippingtelegraph.com/ship-technology/core-power-targets-first-u-s-nuclear-powered-ship-construction-from-2028/How upset are the deck officers going to be when literally everyone in the engine department makes more than them?
>>2080750If we don t like it we can always go back to school and change careers.
https://gcaptain.com/marad-activates-suny-maritime-training-ship-empire-state-vii-for-undisclosed-national-mission/Domers stoked their training ship is going to work for Israel?
>>2080796I get that things cost money, but I really wish they weren't going to scrap Golden Bear right away for this exact reason. Cal Maritime is enough of a shit show as it is, if they rope the Golden State into this Iran bullshit as well, that's TWO academies who are now fucked out of a training ship.
Things are looking grim
>>2081598JR East said the payment card is evolving beyond being for transit and small payments, becoming a lifestyle card, for which the new mascot will be used to convey its larger role in Japanese society.
>>2081797>to convey its larger role in Japanese society.why not a bigger, more serious penguin?
>>2081598You know, I think I'm starting to like the mole mom now that I've seen her smile, she's charming. Squirrell is the safe but boring choice, and the purple thing would be very funny.
I'd go with a Japanese macaque. It's a native species and can convey a wide range of emotions.
>>2081598y tho?
>>2081652>The pilots have been identified as Captain Joseph Carroll, 55, and First Officer Jaime Felipe Silva Molina, 37 — both hospitalized after the crash but since released.
>>2081629Do you not have both in some locations where you live? I work both TWR and APP and the APP position is even in the tower cabin.
>>2081664there are combined facilities here, but mostly in the boonies. I can't move to those aerodromes and live my life in quiet countryside peace unless I can somehow convince the top dogs to send me there.
>>2081132because they hire niggers
>>2081652I am soon to get my commercial license and if I were this guy I dont see how I just dont kill myself after this tbqh. You gotta go down with the ship after this one
Have you had any close calls? I was t-boned by a car at speed but just rolled over the hood and had some physio sessions
>>2081502I've been t boned twice, first time I want wearing a helmet and the back of my head the ground, instant lights out. Surprisingly I didn't die. Second time I just bounced off the car. Both times I recovered in about a week. As a full time courier of over 10 years, I've hit the ground more times than I can remember, I have scars I don't remember how, but every incident are I ride a little more paranoid, the way I ride now is oddly safe for as reckless as I am
>>2081669>first time I wasn't wearing a helmetfixed typo
>>2081502Yeah, fell asleep while driving through a tunnel, woke up because there were these safety bumps in the middle of the road, shaking the car, which made me go back onto my lane. 3 seconds later and I would have frontaled a huge truck inside a tunnel, which would have turned me into flesh sauce.Don't drink and drive, but I think tired and drive is WAY more dangerous because you underestimate it so much. Also thank you whoever invented those tunnel midroad bumps
>>2081502>the clean & jerk oneholy shit, new fear unlockedI thought one couldn't fuck up an escape from a jerk
>>2081796Looking on the bright sight you wouldn't even know you fucked up if you did
The Amtrak redemption arc continues?>https://media.amtrak.com/2026/04/amtrak-takes-big-step-towards-new-long-distance-trains/>It’s official! We’ve started the procurement process for Amtrak’s largest-ever Long Distance train order.>Our customers deserve the best, and this new fleet will move us full speed ahead into a new era of American train travel.>We’ve issued a formal request for suppliers to bid on the new Long Distance fleet replacement contract. Interested carbuilders are now preparing their proposals for submission. Following an extensive evaluation, we plan to announce our selected supplier by the end of 2027. >This once-in-a-generation fleet replacement program was developed in close coordination with the Federal Railroad Administration, with the goal of modernizing overnight and cross-country travel for a fleet that includes many cars today approaching nearly 50 years of operations.>The program calls for more than 800 new railcars across 14 routes.
>>2079728In what sense?
whendowe,,,getrailer travel?,,,cargo containers?,water?,power?,wifi.,,,,costsextra foredge cabin.,smells of curry center.
Amtrak is shit and they will probably piggyback on the VIA order because the niggers that run Amshit are too incompetent to do the purchasing on their own.>>2074708based. I like to call them 'Unhandy Incapable'.
>>2081633Thank you BaconRider
>>2070947Long distance trains are the worst value train type. If it's longer than overnight it's no good. Train companies outside the U.S know thisOnly boomers and railfans ride long distance, and boomers are dying out. How much do you wanna bet Amtrak isdoing this to purposely sink ridership numbers to justify ending amtrak altogether at the next congress
Post your favorite or most used train station or bus stop.Once a year or so I like to start this thread, it usually ends up pretty interesting.
I always liked this one from the Montreal metro. Each station had some sort of art piece installed when it was built in the 60s. This one has some nice stained glass. It's also one of the few ones where sunlight goes thru and illuminates the station, even when you're in the underground train, so you get some sun when you pass through even if you don't stop. Years ago, I had my first love and this was the place where I would wait for her when she came to visit me.
>>2080083>Years ago, I had my first love and this was the place where I would wait for her when she came to visit me.Very cute to have a memory like that tied to a cool place anon.
>>2052543>>2052544I like the Takoma Station since its witihin walking distance of the main street of Takoma Park and there's plenty of shops and restaurants there.>>2052542I use this one when I don't feel like making the Red Line transfer to the Zoo, especially when I used to live in College Park.

Is there still a fixie subculture anywhere out there, or am I showing my age? Im still enamored with the whole “fixie punk” aesthetic. Considering jumping back on social media is there are still people doing this. But I realize its a niche subculture from the early 2000’s thats been made fun of since day 1.
>>2079485I still do that shit on my way home from work sometimes, it's not the same when you're alone though>>2079939wait you're right that's even hotter>ywn get your skull crushed by some 1k+ watt track racer thighs>>2079940>slips estrogen in your bidon
>>2033562There is, and it's weird.Fixies are fun tho
>>2081620Is that Bob Dobbs?
>>2035606cuz people have no fucking lives whatsoever and the only way they can get pleasure and identity and meaning is to find some random niche hobby that makes them feel unique and important and better than others
>>2081627yes
Cycling isn’t a game, it’s a sport.
>>2081450Nice bik... Flats?What the fuck dude
>>2081524ive tried clipless and simply dont like it, i love the ability to walk about mid ride and when bikepacking only take 1 pair of shoes. i totally understand why people do use clipless but its just not for me
Strictly speaking, are taxis public transportation?
>>2081505they are, legally, at least in my socialist shithole
>>2081505not really no. Public generally means publicly funded and they are a private business. I guess you could make a case that Greyhound busses could be considered "Mass transit" since they operate like public transit while being privately owned
>>2081542Public doesn't mean collective (i.e.: buses)>>2081624No, public means it's for public, as opposed to private, use.
>>2081692By that same logic a private jet is public transport since you can rent it. It's a for hire service. Semi public at best.
>>2081705>since you can rent itif you rent it, it is. if you don't, it's not. sounds pretty simple.
post thr modt beautiful train station from all over the world.if you would like i would be happy to see your cities train station.

>>2081485Where the fuck you live you're 18 but can't read?
>>2081600you're saying it's illegal to use a camera in public, but that doesn't mean it's illegal to use a camera in publicis that right?
>>2081558God what a fucking shithole
