Lets see them again for the hundredth time.
Just paid $75 for this piece of shit, because I'm retarded.'83 Centurion Elite GT touring bike. I'm gonna build it up into an upright 700c commuter this winter. Love my Miami Vice Dave Scott Ironman Centurion, so I jumped on this immediately and paid asking price. I only ride old steel, so this is the first time I've paid more than $35 for a used bike.
>>2082728what's wrong with it, mechanically?
>>2082730Nothing, as far as I can tell. Seat post and stem weren't stuck. Not planning on using any of the groupset, but everything seems in good working order, just in need of refurbishment.
racing bike. says so right on the frame.
>>2082736another racing bike.

I can't help but like the bikefarmer as a wisconsinite even if he's got a bad case of libtardation.

Does everybody know that there is this super old website with tons of infos and pictures on latin american trams? Pic is from Ponce, PR
>>2082391its http://tramz.com/, apparently putting a link in the mail textbox doents work anymore
>>2082391>>2082392Yeh, I've read a lot about those trams there. I lived in Mexico City for a while so it was interesting to read about its tram history. Until a few years ago there were quite a few streets there with tram tracks left, by now it's gotten less but you might still find a few.Interesting tidbit about Mexico City trams: pic related, this one PCC that was face lifted with larger windows and twin headlights. Only one was made, probably because at the time it was decided to shut down the remaining tram lines.
>>2080634now that's what I call KINO>>2082393mega-PCC
>>2080394For me it was all about the spurs.
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"?
>>2082339your post did not contribute anything to the value of this thread
>>2082339shalom
>>2082360>t. Hur dur muh brownoids
>>2082364shalom is actually a jewish greeting though
>>2079246I was in Japan and one part of the city, I only saw Indian people. They weren't even dressed like normal people, like the American ones, they were dressed like someone grabbed them off the street of Delhi. >>2082395Half of Jews are Mizrahi, which look like any other Middle Easterners.
Why does China has so few Railway stations?In total China Railways services around 5500 stations across the entire country, while only 3300 of which provides any passenger service, this include High-Speed stations. SNCF operates around 3000 stations and DB operates around 5600. Both of which are much smaller in scale.
>>2081553Nice-Riquier is less than a mile and a half from Nice-Ville. You can WALK between the two in less than 40 minutes, or take the tram in 20. No one would have built that station today if it didn't exist. It takes less than 2 minutes for the TER to move between the two, so I guess it's "convenient", but it's not something anyone would design on purpose.
>>2081593the general policy is for conventional lines to be as much as possible freight-only, as far as i can tell
>>2082324do you want to ride a metro train for two hours? used to require a transfer too since line 2 operated in two sections. and all these enluggaged people going to onward points via hsr or sha clog up the busiest metro line through the city core
>>2081255they know that trains are the most efficient when they go at a steady speed, and waste energy when they stop and accelerateergo, less stations is more efficientthe most power efficient train possible is a train on a loop line with no stops
>>2082329thats not efficient at all since it would move nothing. Locomotion-style point-to-point routes would probably be best.
Strictly speaking, are taxis public transportation?
>>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.
>>2081505Yes, 1000%.Transportation doesn’t strictly entail buses or trains. A taxi is a form of TRANSPORT available to be used for the PUBLIC.
hey /n/ this is my cat rupert i was thinking about taking him on the bus to see the sights of the city but i couldnt find any rules on it, do you know if can cats go on busesi have a cat carrier but would he be allowed out to see out the window?
>>2071626The only reason anyone went to see it was because it was christina ricci as a nympho getting chained up by a large black man
>>2077182There is LITERALLY nothing wrong with 26 year old chrstina ricci in a basement wearing only panties and a heavy cast iron chain while a black man in a wifebeater who is old enough to be her dad tells her she can't have her clothes until she embraces jesus and they have a deep spiritual bonding session about sin
>>2079056apparently she was quite unhappy with the way they marketed it
>>2056672I love you Rupert!
>>2056672Hey anon, cat owner here. Good you have a cat carrier, but has your cat been outside before? If not, it could be very stressful. I’d recommend taking him out for short trips for a while, then moving to longer trips before the tour. Hope Rupert can see your city soon.P.s. I’d imagine cats are allowed on buses
I flew down to the Bay Area to take a journey on the Niles Canyon Railway's mysterious and rarely traveled Eastern branch aboard the M200 Railbus. The last of its kind still operating, the M200 once served the California Western Railroad as a literal schoolbus for children. Today is its first publicly available excursion in several years.

Why is /n/ in general so much more friendly and cordial than other boards?
>>2047065This. It's common knowledge that cyclists are healthier, more active and have (on average) bigger, thicker penises. Also cycling is a hobby that is statistically heavy with a white male demographic, thus one of the very last standing bastions against the unwashed horde. On a serious note, I have maybe met 1-2 people over the last 30,000 km bike touring who was non-white, nigs don't care for anything outdoorsy.So therefore you have a community that is relatively homogenous, fit, active and leaves the house regularly. This easily results in a friendly and accessible environment.
>>2079150>and have (on average) bigger, thicker penises.that can't get up
>bumping an old ass thread on a slow board with nonsenseI do not like posters like you on this forum.
>>2047059>/n/ vs other boards

Why is this allowed?
>>2081311>boastThat's your perception because you're insecure about where you live.
>>2081290No, it's decidedly rural out here
why did some retard start sperging out about bicycles completely unprompted
Because it's only South Africans
>>2080872Because it’s awesome?
Is riding on top end groupsets if you're not a top end cyclist stolen valor? Or is this sour grapes?What groupset would you ride if you could get any groupset you wanted for free, but when/if you sold the bike you would have to price it as whatever groupset you ride now. That is, if your financial circumstances were no different and you were subject to the same "rules" as you currently as in terms of other people judging (because we all know unlimited wealth begets shamelessness), what do you choose?
>>2077316It's ok to like have nice things even if they're no longer cool by the standards of 2015 people who are still desperate to prove something
>>2038740I'd be happy with a regular shimano 105
>>2038740Not more or less like a cager torturing a sports car, going shopping in a GT3 RS, being stuck in traffic on a Panigale R or driving their own Bentley Mulsanne.

Should a city the size of Toronto have more, less, or about the same amount of rapid transit?
>>2082289>Now that I have you here, how the fuck has Doug Ford won majorities three times in a row?>t. clueless AmericanThe last Liberal leader he was replacing was wrapped up in a scandal where they wasted a billion dollars cancelling a natural gas plant to win 1 seat. She also privatized some power plants which lead to higher electricity prices. She was unresponsive to what the electorate wanted on a variety of social issues and the Liberals were viewed as being too corrupt.Rob Ford was a bit of a meme at the time and Doug absorbed some of that memetic energy but also ran on populist platforms like allowing beer and wine in grocery stores and cutting small fees and taxes. It was also just time for a change, as the Liberals had been in office too long, had no energy/new ideas and were too stagnant. Ontario usually has an election cycle where they vote for the opposite of whoever is in power federally. And for the past 10 years that's been Justin Trudeau/Carney.I would also say that his opposition have been unimpressive. There's a dearth of qualified people entering politics in the Ontario Liberal or NDP and each time they ran on trying to equate Ford to Trump. But Ford outmaneuvered them by being a big loudmouth retard that goes on American TV and makes headlines shit-talking Trump. That's basically enough for the average person to just keep voting for Ford. It's not that they like him, it's just that his opposition look pathetic and often never share a positive vision of the future, just "you aren't hiring enough nurses, you aren't hiring enough teachers" type stuff. He is also not as anti-transit as previous conservatives and has pledged money to various transit projects, so that helps him I think. It's just that he's also for highway and airport expansion, which pisses off most urbanists.
>>2082293>allowing beer and wine in grocery storesBased. >He is also not as anti-transit as previous conservatives and has pledged money to various transit projects, so that helps him I think. It's just that he's also for highway and airport expansion, which pisses off most urbanists.I know about the Ontario Line. How's the funding stream for GO train electrification? Metrolinx's website is ass, so I have no idea.
>>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.
