>>2077960Seriously. That’s what libcucks really want. They hate themselves for being white. They should commit to this. Libcucks, find yourself a brownoid ASAP, give them your house and car keys, give them a knife and let them stab you to death and replace you. That’s all you’re really good for. You won’t be missed you weak and pathetic queers. Pay up those reparations you’re always talking about.

I've been riding hookless toobless for like 10k miles now and I won't go back. I know I'm supposed to be dead or something but I've never had an issue. If it's reliable enough for my fussy complicated european car, it's good enough for my simple mechanical shifting bike. Why do retards think they need hooks? Because they're too stupid to inflate to the correct pressure? Literally just don't pump them up like they're your unc rims from 2007 with 23mm tires. It really is that shrimple! Well that and don't be morbidly obese.
>>2077406>you needed to glue the tire directly>blowing offt. fag doesn't know about tubulars. The glueing part has nothing to do with the pressure, it's just how you keep tubs from rolling off your rim also it's impossible for tubulars to 'blow off'on a side note: They long predate metallic rims and even the very first pneumatic tires were tubulars.
>>2077422>normal everyday purposesOn my daily I've simply slapped marathons and Schwalbe AirPlus inner tubes. I can't even tell how rarely I would have to pump them because I service the entire bike once or twice a year which also has me de- and reinflate the tires. Probably less than once a year / 20+ tkm.

Honest question, why are cyclists such douchebags?
Alright guys, it's time we settled this debate once and for allDo rollercoasters count as transportation? From an engineering perspective they're basically just trains that go on unorthodox tracks so I personally say yes, but please let us know your opinions in the comment section down below, and don't forget to like comment subscribe and hit the bell icon for more threads like this one

Either way you come off as a jackass, sorry for your loss better luck next time
>>2078538>Godwin's Law because someone doesn't like my crumpled napkin building
This freestanding airtime hill had to have brakes incorporated after installation, going uphill.The trains do not merely just roll over the cliff they are also accelerated downhill to hit the highest top speed in the world, for tallest/fastest claims..But Intamin couldn't actually use that speed for even the one feature and had to slow the trains down. The limits of G and speed are fully explored, there is no reason to pour more millions into a longer track completed faster than a shorter track at regular speeds. Transportation categorically does not share this double bind of a need for speed meeting too short a trip to be meaningful for guests to queue for. Roller Coasters are now finished and entirely derivative Art, until the roller ball bearing itself is obsoleted by gravitics.
>>2078549
>>2078549Counterargument: rollercoasters are cable cars. Your standards seem to only involve trains that run under their own power but that would actually exclude a lot of "trains" that are used for legitimate transport purposes as well

The end of ebike terrorism is in sight. Let's not count our chickens before they hatch, but I'm tentatively feeling hopefully about this. During the time that the last thread was up, hundreds of people were killed by ebike fires. We need to put a stop to this. I just hope they make sure to add prison time for people caught with unlicensed ebikes.

>>2078421Stridsland but I wouldn't give that guy a dollar. Surly. Crust but what they're asking for the bikes is a ripoff. There's magic components that made their wizard frame recently. Honestly if I had to buy a new steel 26er I would have one custom made by Marino out of Peru. They started off manufacturing frames for some brand that went under and they just kept going selling their own stuff. You got choices of tubing, everything from 4130 to Reynolds 853.

This thread is for talking about railways, and things related to railways, in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland - that means we're all about big intercity trains, modest rural trains, long freight trains, trips, tracks, trams, subways, stations, you get the idea. Trains are cool.If you're planning a journey, take a look at the nationalrail.co.uk/ journey planner - tell it where you're headed from and to, and it'll show you your options before handing you over to a train company so you can buy a ticket. Doesn't matter which train company, they'll all charge the same price for the same seat on the same journey. Overseas visitors - trip.com and thetrainline.com are your best option.Here's a few links:~New rolling stock currently on order, listed (trainlogger.co.uk/units/)~A Visual History of Railway Rolling Stock in Great Britain (gaelan.me/br-stock/)~The Man in Seat 61 (seat61.com/) - easily the best rail travel resource out there.~Geoff Marshall (youtube.com/@geofftech2) - likes trains. Mostly harmless.~Jago Hazzard (youtube.com/@jagohazzard) - London train history. Ditto....and some cool 'open data' stuff:~Realtimetrains (realtimetrains.co.uk/) - live train timetables: ideal for keeping on top of ETAs and platforms.~Openrailwaymap (openrailwaymap.org/) - not quite 'Google Maps for railway infrastructure', but close.~TIGER (https://tiger.worldline.global/home/) - live departure boards.Comment too long.

Lol for some reason>https://www.railadvent.co.uk/2026/07/free-travel-offer-for-those-with-same-name-a-world-cup-star.html>In honour of World Cup footballer Jude Bellingham, all this week, West Midlands Railway (WMR) is offering free train travel on the Stourbridge shuttle service in Worcestershire to any passenger named Jude.
Something slightly more serious as well:>https://www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/work-begins-to-transform-barking-eurohub-into-britains-gateway-for-european-rail-freight>Work begins to transform Barking Eurohub into Britain’s gateway for European rail freight...if I'm squinting at OpenRailwayMap correctly, it's located just before HS1 dives into tunnels to reach Stratford International and St Pancras. Presumably this is going to be a new freight-only terminal for Continental container trains to, well, terminate.

Do you guys ever have conversations with other people on public transportation, or try picking up girls there?>yet another day riding the subway sharing a car with plenty of cute girls, normal looking guys, and never make conversation with anyone to try to make friends or get a date>it's been like this nearly daily for 10 years>even see the same people getting on and off at my same stop, they live near me, and still never speak to anyone
>>2078042It's a tricky balance because on the one hand you need to be mindful of reality which is that women, especially white women, can end your life (physically or in terms of your ability to ever get a job better than burger flipper) just by uttering one word against you. and then #believeallwomen kicks in regardless of how crazy she isOn the other hand if you let it dominate your thought process you'll never approach women even when it's appropriate and you will die alone, or your crippling insecurities will force you to date women you are 100% sure you won't reject you, which is a recipe for only dating uggosThis is what people who disparage dating apps will never get, they're not the ones for whom approaching a woman out of their league is just going to result in disappointment, no serious consequences will ever happen to Chad Whitecock. Dating apps are a godsend for people who are in a category that some women are attracted to, but others will call the police if you approach them IRL and you can't always tell just by looking at them what it's going to be
>>2078044Yeah I've found that I have to put myself in naturally disarming situations. Going downtown and chatting with my sister or a friend on the train? Displays some level of social competence and usually breaks the silence of the car, opening up the floor for trying chit chat. Only problem is that you don't get the satisfaction of "pulling muh self up by muh bootstraps" that you get trying to talk to someone on your own from a cold start. I was thinking earrings would do the same thing but at a certain point you'll be so unthreatening (read: look like a bitch) that no woman would take you seriously
>>2012325Talk?Hell no, it's CHIKAN TIME!
>>2078049Earrings don't make you look nonthreatening, they just make you unappealing to women who are not into men who wear earrings. You can work on making your body language or apparel or overall presentation seem nonthreatening but earrings are not it.
>>2012325>Do you guys ever have conversations with other people on public transportation,Do you mean convos with the topic about transit? Or actually riding on transit and talking to other riders? Not so much the latter now-a-days because in the past 5 years the racial demographics have changed so dramatically here. What used to be 95% caucasion is now 75% paki's and pali's (thanks a lot Trudeau) and they aren't friendy, racist, and are smelly. They don't like us so aren't to conducive to casual conversation. Most riders are on their phones. Funny to watch their anxiety climb when their phones become disabled, especially among teenagers.>or try picking up girls there?No, I have better luck at the playgrounds and schoolyards. ;-)

I've always been a big fan of the Canadian Pacific C-Liners and their 38D 8-1/8 opposed piston engine. I haven't found a book that goes into their design and construction and inspiration, and trials and tribulations. I do have "Constructed in Kingston" but while detailed about construction it doesn't really go into it's design. The best I've found is the 2-part series in Trains magazine (March-April 1987) which I bought when it came out. I bought a couple actually. The author worked at F-M and he goes into decent detail on the design and concept.If anyone knows of any other book, let me know because as far as I know I have every book there is on them.
