(continued from >>2035254 )Let's discuss bike tires here.>pic related currently using>27.5 x 1.60 (650b x 40)>1000 miles in>pulled a few glass shards out>extracted a broken glass bottle shard that was wedged 6mm in the tread at an angle>no punctured tube>no flat>rolls great>doesn't weigh as much as a Marathon Plus or Mondial>installing them wasn't too bad eitherWhat's your daily driver? Do you run tubed or tubeless? General thoughts, experiences of tires you've ran with?
>>2060566I'm asking more specifically about Rene Herse or Challenge tyres between 32 and 36mm.
>>2060551cst is budget maxxis
>>2060575yes
>>2060513holy shit
>>2060513people really need to start asking not if they can but if they should

How do you react when you see a landwhale approaching your seat?
>>2060298>>2060316Why are you so intent on being contrarian?Yes, the FDA isn't doing what it can to prevent harm to Americans at an epidemiological level but instead works to facilitate the desires of corporatocracy.Why are you so intent on denying this truth?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfehGfSTu70Standards matter, rules matter, regulations matter.It's the peak of servile folly to abdicate these political and social tools to sociopathic oligarchs and corrupt lobbied politicians that will gladly sacrifice tens of thousands of negative health outcomes if it means an easy donor or a few good quarterly report.Stop being such fucking slaves damnit, this shit is literally spreading to Europe too now, like a cancer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--832LV9a3I
>>2060336how did you manage to make an anti FDA post a NJB shill post, become refuse.
one time this fat bitch next to me on a plane was all huffy getting into her seat, and immediately texted her friend that "some 20 year old" was next to her and how awful the flight is gonna be (hell yeah i screenwatch fuck you)i was over 30 at the time btw, lol. felt good nigga
>>2060209This is not news. I don't give a shit what you say.
I assume everyone is always saying mean things to their friends about me. It only matters if they say them to me directly. I promise I am mentally well.

>>2060013And bikes are /toy/s
>>2060009What failsafe features do these things have? Parachutes would probably only be good at altitudes above 100m no?And you cant glide down like a helicopter in case of an engine failure.Are they literally deathtraps if something happens at 10-50m?
why are zoomers and techbros so OBSESSED with the quadrotor form factor? what was wrong with one big rotor and a cyclic/collective control? >>2060052>Are they literally deathtraps if something happens at 10-50m?yeah but so are helicopters
>>2060009Those are pretty cool but I still would rather have sex with a woman with a human vagina
>>2060067>why are zoomers and techbros so OBSESSED with the quadrotor form factor? what was wrong with one big rotor and a cyclic/collective control?Quadcopters are more responsive and easier to control because they allow you to remove unnecessary control surfaces and replace larger single rotors with 4 smaller rotors that don't carry as much momentum. The only reason they haven't been feasible until recently is because they generally need flight computers to maintain stability >yeah but so are helicoptersHelicopters can autorotate on engine out though so they can still potentially land safely, I don't think quadcopters can do this though because the rotors are too small
Folding bikes seamlessly tie in with all transportation modes as they are specifically designed to be compact, stowable and therefore easily TRANSPORTABLE. Easily carried onto trains, planes, buses, trams and other automobiles.There've been many attempts to create the perfect folder, some designs have come very close and have remained in production for decades. The world of folders spans incredible genius tier feats of engineering to terrible examples of dangerously ill conceived death trap folly.Post yours here, or post examples that may be of interest for their engineering genius, aesthetic charm or worthiness of ridicule.
>>2053973I rode a six speed for years in very hilly terrain. You just need to know the quirks they shift great.
>>2059544the folding bike cannot carry as much weight as fixed frame bikes (is much weaker) therefore it is important to stay under the bike's rated weight limit (rider plus bags) for folding bikes. Fixed frame bikes, no need to pay attention to this.
I'm trying to buy a "20 inch single or double wall solid axel screw on wheel rim brake" for the back wheel of my folding bike. It's a piece of shit bike so I don't want anything super expensive, looking to spend about £40 or less - UK.I wouldn't even recognise one if I saw them though, and I barely understand from looking at pictures. Is there one on Amazon I could get or something? Double walled would be preferable as I hear that's better, but not if the price difference is big.
>>2053977hate to shit on your piss parade but plenty of white collar geezers commute by brompy where I work
me and my bro took the same length 20km road and both of us ended up needing at least 1.5x the time google maps estimated it would take. (my) 20" folding bike is slow bs
Anyone good with old bikes? I intend to buy this one (auction website) for 20 bucks. First i wonder what the brand on it is because i have no clue. Second, it has been stored for probably decades inside. The gearing feels fine, no rust there and i can feel some oil gunge there.
>>2060346Even just finding matching tires and tubes can be challenging on these old things.If you have the space to have it sit around while you try to come up with enough motivation to fix it up, for that little money, go for it.
>>2060343It'll be so much work and money to restore that thing that you may as well just get a dipshit fixie cruiser off a rack in a store. If you get that for 20$, you'll already be spending more money than it's worth on a couple cans of paint, a couple tires/tubes, and maybe a new seat and still have an absolute abomonation of a ride.
>>2060346 No , because the frame doesn't even have brake fixing spots somewhere or other essential components.
>>2060591>the frame doesn't even have brake fixing spots somewhereIt's a coaster brake.
>>2060591lol
Mark my words, horses will make a comeback as the superior transport method.
>>2057195Is that the baja?
>>2056982I'm a taxi driver and once had some horse riding people as passangers, i took them to a race where they would participate in, i could smell the horseshit on them, the clothes and hair soaked in the smell.
>>2058135that was not poop smell it was horse smell. I am amazed at how far removed from nature people from cities are, especially the lower classes who do not have extra income for travel. They seem to have very limited life experience
>>2060645God damn dude, move somewhere with some fucking grass if you're going to keep horses
I think the states whose population don't care about public transit (Dallas, Houston, etc) should get stripped of their federal transit funding and be rerouted to fund the existing transit/infrastructure in Chicago, New York, Boston, Philly or DC.
>>2060455kind of easy to build baby build when your entire state is a desert wasteland full of religious wackos and cartel gunmen, what you refer to as "bad laws" is referred to as "private property rights in a densely populated area", a subject that appears to be unthinkable to you since you are twelve, a flyover, and don't own any property nor ever will
>>2060479Sit
>>2060480>citycuck talking about owning propertyyou vote for rent control because you can't afford to own.
>>2060536How can anyone vote for a thing that hasn't been a practical reality in 50+ years? Also my unit (like most owned by individuals and not multifamily developers) isn't subject to any rent stabilization laws, not that I object to those laws, since large landlords are cancer
>>2060455What new rail in Texas? The DART line no one will ride? The Chicago Red Line extension will probably generate more ridership than the entirety of public transit in Texas

>>2059226His stuff is still ok, especially with The Tim Traveler. I bet Vicki has gotten fat, though. She was cute 10 years ago, but from the glimpses we get on Instagram I think she's hit the wall. He's probably better off.

She looks like a female Stephen Marchant.

Road signs. What do you think of them? Which country does them the best? Would you change anything in the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals?
>>2022126The Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) is the Gold Standard in highways construction.>https://www.standardsforhighways.co.uk/
I enjoy how Italy does this instead of having a round sign with a "applies to" plaque beneath. Much more elegant. For some reason the Vienna convention only specifies the trucks with hazardous material sign.
advisory speed in km/u (kilometer per uur) instead of km/h. same thing but looks unprofessional
somehow this design didn't catch on
>>2056325quebec wins again
What are the advantages of these things as opposed to, idk, a bus?
>>2057440A much, much better ride. Not having to deal with potholes is a godsend.
>>2057440helps melburnian special snowflakes feel unique
>>2057440The main advantage is not being held up in traffic.Sure that TECHNICALLY can be done with bus lanes but cage-driving retardoids will hog the bus lane. That does not have the sense of impending doom that hogging the tram track does.The best way to speed up your transit vehicle is to have it in a separate, dedicated lane that cannot be blocked by retards.As such, the logical conclusion for all public transit is, and always was, the suspended monorail.But they don't want you to know that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP_bUVc7o7A> As a train enthusiast, none of these are brightlines fault. The only reason they have so many deaths are because of people doing stupid things around the tracks like trying to beat the train, or walking on the tracks. Do you autists not realize how sociopathic this makes you look?The train has killed over 180 people since 2017.It's killing a person EVERY THIRTEEN DAYS.
>>2059467Yes you may call us heartless but if your opinion is that your life and potentially the safety of others around you is worth a few minutes then frankly you deserve to die. You're willing to let other people die to convenience yourself.

>The aircraft, registered as VT-EHH, was a Boeing 737-2A8F from the Baby Boeing family. Delivered to Indian Airlines in 1982, it later operated with Alliance Air before Air India converted it into a freighter in 2007.>It flew with India Post titles but was grounded at Kolkata Airport in 2012. Instead of being sold, scrapped, or parted out, the jet sat idle in a remote corner of the airfield and disappeared from the airline's fixed-asset documentation.>Kolkata Airport officials eventually contacted Air India to request the removal of the abandoned jet.>This prompted a detailed internal check that confirmed the aircraft had been omitted from multiple documents for years.>Air India CEO Campbell Wilson informed staff that, in the years leading up to privatization, VT-EHH was repeatedly left out of internal records.>As a result, the aircraft did not factor into the valuation during the Tata Group acquisition. Before privatization, the carrier did not maintain the kind of structured fixed-asset registers that well-run airlines use to track depreciation, parking charges, insurance liability, and maintenance cycles.https://archive.ph/cYDOd

>>2059558From when 737 had vehicle-appropriate engines under their wings and were an appropriate size for the design.Probably lots safer than a new one.
>>2059558these things happenKuala Lumpur airport auctioned off several 747s in the 2010s because whoever owned them wasn't paying parking fees

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.
>>2059631roads are built from property taxes
>>2059674yes property, owned by people with cars.
>>2059600I hate this idea too, it's not feasiblet.cyclist that us effective due to bike paths existing, I wouldnt want to ridr on the road, it is - as you also state - dangerous and deadly>>2059629Who said that "majority bike use" is the goal you sneaky fuckThere's a difference between <2% usage as in these afflicted areas in the US and a 25-35% as in the NetherlandsAnd even in the precious Netherlands there are differences depending on how good the infrastructure is designed in the region (and how the housing market looks - how much is there where its needed, is supply artificially limited, how far out do people have to go to afford ->longer commute->cars) and other factors that also just make life better for the people thereUtrecht for exampke does have 51% (so the... ma-jo-ri-ty) of trafficshare in bicycles and bike-like things, lol
>>2059676everybody pays for roads, and we pay well for ityou're just making a slightly recursive "its always been this way" argumentmost people who own cars arent ideological car drivers like youif there's a nicer or overall cheaper, or more convenient option they will use it and eventually view it as just as natural as you view car dependencybeing less dependent on car transit allows the building of better cities where more people would gladly raise their kids, they are just better places to live
nature is healing
