Welcome to Juarez city... now look at pic relatedCargo train runs right through this buys intersection en el centro.So if you need to get somewhere sometimes there's a massive cargo train in your way preventing you and making you LATE. How do you fix that. Not only that it's dangerous. There are no "Train crossing beware" it's just hopefully uou don't get hit by the train
>>2049405a big fuckin trumpet interchange. demolish all housing and commerce within a mile to make it fit

>>2053854what am I looking at here, why is there a giant wall of dirt?
>>2058605it's to catch stray south korean 737s, should they choose to overrun any nearby runways
>>2055306And that helps pedestrians how?
Postan my old folder of /n/ images since I found it on a usb drive in a drawer. These are circa 2009 I think.
>>2057499What do you think it feels like to ride?
>>2058883Good to see you, dude.
>2008 wowzers, I went on 4chan for the first time that year.
>>2059838Total shit like all early DH bikes.
>>2058883I saw you today, kek. Won't name the road but the initials are F H. Near C H Place.
These faggots should be strictly restricted to class F airspace, with well defined dimension and NEVER EVER LEFT OUT, sick and tired of avoiding them.

How is this guy alive? First one or two videos I watched, I thought he was just going for (You)s but they just get worse and worse. The only way this makes sense is if he has terminal cancer and he wants to die riding a bike and not in a hospital bed.
>>2056143You can die just falling over in your clips, it's not common but it can happen
>>2036239Highly competent rider. Crazy, but competent, talented even.
>>2042004outside of a peloton or getting hit by a car, there's not much risk of life-threatening injury at those speeds. the only mechanical failure that can kill you on a short, slow descent like that is a chainsuck. keep your drivetrain moderately well adjusted and it's about as likely as getting hit by lightning.
>>2036239that is a very large cemetery
>>2057017I think I'd die of embarrassment if that happened
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.

What's next in bicycle tech?
>>2060682average commuter these days is dropping $7k on a tricked out e-cargo "bike" anyway so using a ridged plastic belt to crank a 3-speed hub is fine, no one will sweat harder, they'll just need to recharge more oftenit's time we just accepted that pedaling your own bike is going to be for tryhard fred homosexuals who prance around in a spandex g-string on their fragile s-works bikes that don't even make you go faster, kind of like how cars that you can shift yourself that don't have mandatory telemetry sending real-time penile plethysmography data to palantir are now seen as a horrendously quaint antique for eccentric loners
>>2057728>What's next in bicycle tech?KERS
>>2060682Honestly I don't see why they don't just put the whole cassette in the front and the "derailleur" is just a spring-loaded arm that only moves on one axis. 99% of crappy off-the-rack bikes never have all their gears used anyway. Literally just make every bike a 3 to 5 speed and call it a day.ESPECIALLY if they're electric or pedal-assisted.Though speaking of, I saw a thing on hackaday of someone using "electric transmission" -- the pedals crank a dynamo, and the wheel has a motor. You crank the dynamo, the motor on the other side moves. Only a very small battery more as an extra big smoothing capacitor than anything. It's probably horrendously inefficient, but now you don't have to deal with a derailleur, I guess.
>>2061439This doesn't seem dangerous at all.
>>2057728Tweels, or solid tires will finally be practical with deep travel or active suspension. Reverse trike front fork kits with baskets and low slung batteries effectively making them bakfeits. Canopies.....somehow. maybe just for the bakfiets with a Kermit Muppet caper puppet on the pedals like some mock rickshaw. KERS or standard braking recovery. Super fast charging. Essentially every innovation or cars but goes 10 times further cause of leanness of bikes. Nerds wank on about Tesla plaid, but dont think about dragging 3 empty seats....best we get it old 911 conversions for half the weight, but where is the electric cabin motorcycle that is a 1/4 of the weight, therefore fixing the charge time, and making toxic mining of rare earth's 4 times more efficient. Or micro turbo diesel front wheel kits instead of a castrated motorcycle (moped).And of course the inexcusable off the shelf upgrade that never comes: all stainless bearings and chain for zero maintenance. Cost preventative and planned obsolescence in a tens of thousand dollar car, real world beater in a bike that never breaks.
They're the definition of cattle class. They're slow, expensive, and you're sleeping in a tiny room with total strangers. Any sleeper route can be better served by a low-cost airline, and cheaper to boot. Sleeper trains made sense in the 19th century when they were the only option, but they make absolutely no sense today.
>>2059429I just don't understand what is so much better about a train terminal, atleast an airport has amenities, The average train station if your not in literally a megopolis (new york, phili, boston) is a shite building with benches from 60 years ago in a town that requires a car to get around so you have to take a cab to the airport to rent a car.
>>2061262Yes all the codemonkeys do, if you have any sort of intelligence you get scouted for like a 10 year 100 million pay package at FAANG.
>>2059941That is repulsive. AMTRAK? Wtf? Once was driving, I got food poisoning and had to stop and shit repetedly from detroit to chicago. That would have been handy.
>>2050046add another 0
>>2059941GOOD FUCKING JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY WHAT IN THE FUCK. If this isn't in India(because it would be a squat toilet with hardly any borderings and be more open for everyone to see/smell/worship/bathe)This is beyond fucking repulsive, this is how you give everyone ass parasites, gastro&other bacterial flus,hepatitis,tuberculosis&fucking dozens of other illnesses. That will spread like AIDS at a pride event across the train in the span of 48 hours.SRSLY what the fuck is the story &or context to this. OH but its a small cuck cabin there is a door its perfectly fine and the lid is a perfectly ok table. This is literally worse than fucking prison in the shu under 24hr lockdown. That shit is 4-8X the size than this. Why add a private shitter in a tiny ass 6 foot cuck cabin just why. What company would think this is ok.J U S T imagine youre on this train and you see two people in their tiny cuck cabin, they walk out. You bust in and take the most awful of shits making sure to stuff the shitter first so it cant flush. Leave quick as fuck and wait nearby devilishly for your reward. Only for staff to tell them>SIR YOU CLEARLY DID THIS TO GET A FREE UPGRADE WE'RE REPORTING YOU TO HQ. THIS IS ABUSIVE TOWARDS STAFF IF YOU RAISE YOUR VOICE AGAIN WE WILL STOP THE TRAIN AND CALL FOR RAIL TRANSIT FEDERAL AUTHORITIES TO REMOVE CHARGE AND ARREST YOU
Why do Americans tolerate this?
>>2060770ICE will basically hire anyone physically capable of driving a motor vehicle and squeezing the trigger of their service weapon
>>2060770>>2060773"felon" in the US could mean you had too many unpaid parking tickets THOUGH
Anyone of these people could be a terrorist
sex with creatures is still legal in most of america so they will tolerate anything
>>2058131Idiot cowards. Everyone, everywhere always.
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
>>2046988If I see a rack like this, I park backwards between the slots and use a kickstand to hold the bike upright. Now ponder for a moment a situation where you don't have a kickstand.
>>2061276>I park backwards between the slotswhy
>>2061447No point locking the front wheel, that isn’t what they want to steal anyway.
>>2061448that's why you get a cable or long chain and lock the front wheel and the frame.> that isn’t what they want to steal anyway.crackheads and hobos will steal fucking anything, they steal bike seats if they're on quick releases
>>2061451>cable lockYeah I don’t think we’re having the same conversation but have a great day anon
If steel is so great, why do the companies that make the best steel tubing in the world use carbon for their forks?If steel is so great, why do the finest steel bikes in the world use carbon forks?It seems to me that steel has an aesthetic value that cannot be substituted by anything else, but as a material for building bikes, its value decreases the more that is demanded of a component.
>>2061367>Anecdotal Could you begin to explain the mechanism through which aluminum frames are stiffer?
>>2061372The tubes are thicker.
>>2061399No, the stiffness of a normal alu frame comes from the greater diameter of the tubing. You can achieve the same diameter with steel but it’s very heavy unless you make it so thin that it isn’t durable enough even for single use. It’s a function of a design (that happens to play to the material’s strengths) not a function of the properties of the material. These concepts are genuinely beyond most people so even if it took you until this post to understand you’re still ahead of the average
>>2061413>no it's actually because the tubes are thickerYeah okay.
>>2061399>>2061413>>2061414An increase in outer diameter or an increase in wall thickness will BOTH increase the stiffness, but increasing the outer diameter adds about 2.5x the stiffness as adding the same amount of mass to make the wall thick instead. You can run into buckling issues if you go too crazy with the outer diameter/thin walls though.
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.
I am watching a cozy 7 hour video of russian trains
>>2036727NTA. Yes, those are not going away.
>>2036639why are you russian
>>2036639I've heard about russkie anarchists/antifascists sabotaging a bunch of railway infrastructure to hinder the war effort against ukraine. how much of a thing really is this? are people aware of it and does it cause real problems?
>>2036651First post. I think OP is below 7 or above 70. But here's a bump hoping for world peace, and you guys getting back into my video games.

>>2061416>anemicKinda want that....only problem is found was a Mitsubishi Mirage 1.4 litter couldn't go the speed limit uphill in California mountains....>priusLes You mean LESS anemic?>not backwardBut has any hybrid used both engine and motor for launch? Its the whole problem stop and go driving? Constantly getting two tons up to speed then 10 cars stopping cause one wants to cross at a light?>not styleYou've watched the public drive? They race to red lights, and think its a drag track out of them. Big gay trucks they cant afford....fucking absolute world destroying toddlers.
>>2061418>But has any hybrid used both engine and motor for launch?Technically any of those with planetary gears can do it. Those without still need to deal with the fact first gear is the most ineffective, and usually worst geared. Then again>When anemia comes on slowly, the symptoms are often vague, such as tiredness, weakness, shortness of breath, headaches, and a reduced ability to exercise.[1] When anemia is acute, symptoms may include confusion, feeling like one is going to pass out, loss of consciousness, and increased thirst.Without being anemic is a very straight forward sentence. It just has the problem that it has been mogged by Tesla introducing normal BEV acceleration.The Prius drives like a dream compares to some of the ultra shitboxes that only exist due European car culture combined with higher MPG vehicle trends.
>>2061421If starter/alternator weren't abandoned to drive belt for failure insulation, it could have been starter /alternator/power assist/harmonic balancer/flywheel. New prius finally looks good. Still an idiotic living room on wheels....
>>2061362>Aren't hybrids backwards? It should be electric assist for launch, then ICE on a parabola for cruise?electric motors and batteries were shit at the time so it wasn't economical. now that they are good, there no reason not to have a full ev instead of a hybrid. by like 2010 you could have just had A FUCKING LEAF instead
>>2061424I looked a used leaf 5 years ago, it was still 8K....batteries have 92 times less energy density than petroleum.
I have been on this site for 10 years and I only noticed this board today. Since I'm already here, I'd like to ask a question:Why are train autists so much more hated than other autist brands?
>>2060467It's so rare that wikipedia doesn't even mention that they bought evos. :^)
>>2060456>>2060457>salad is communismamerican education strikes again
>>2060462Characteristics of Rail retard1. Low boiling point2. High pride3. Abnormal obsession with railways, coupled with eco-terrorist/leftist-like thinking
>>2060514Touch grass faggot, you make stuff like this up in your schizo head and think you're onto something. It's no different to any other hobby, I don't make it my personality and neither do most that I've known. You talk about "excess pride" when it's literally a matter of telling judgemental pricks like yourself to do one
By the way, where did this idea that“railway enthusiasts are often autistic”even come from?if you actually Google it, you'll find sites and descriptions pointing out that connection—it's not like there are zero of them.i bet there are papers or statistics on it in psychiatry or something.for example, in other countries, like Korea, there seems to be a derogatory term like“Trainsperger,”and if you search in Japanese, it looks like the word“Railfans”itself has become slang for disabled people.
