Hey guys I love when school busses are repurposed either for USA van lifers or as public transit in other countries like MX, Nica, Guatemala, etc.

SO I saw this and took a picture to share with you all I love the green color.

I did not see another thread on this so here we go. How does /n/ feel about downtown city airports? I know most world class cities such as London, New York, Washington DC, etc. Have proper downtown airports.

It looks like Toronto is going to get one as well. Until now, the Billy Bishop island airport, so named after a Canadian WWI fighter pilot ace, could only accommodate turbo prop aircraft.
The Province of Ontario is now looking to extend the runway to allow Jets. This would greatly expand the range of the airport, especially to far cities in western Canada and the southern United States. Potentially even western Europe.
Is this a good move, or a short sighted volley?

If I went around in the heaviest most inefficient shoes possible to make a statement, people would rightly think I was a tryhard, trying to show off how strong I was, or otherwise basically see it as impractical, quixotic, or foolhardy. Normal people prefer lighter shoes that are more comfortable and efficient. Especially elderly women, people who aren't fitness freaks, etc.

Yet if I do the same with a bicycle, all the urbanists want to suck my cock for being "practical". With bicycles, riding something comfortable, efficient, that doesn't ride like a boat anchor, is tryhard, show-off behavior. The least practical bike is seen as practical down to earth stuff for normals, and the most practical bike is seen as status-seeking show-off sports equipment for the very strong. Casuals belong on bikes that convert most of your pedal input energy into rattlecan noises and heating up the tires. Bikes that are reasonably effective at "bike things" are classified as competitive hobby gear.

When did this mentality take root and who is responsible?

Now that wider tires on road bikes are the default and you can barely even find a rim brake bike for sale anymore (other than at the antique store), how long before Big Cycling realizes there's no more upgrades to sell and if they want to continue selling bikes now they have to promote thin, high pressure tires and turn of the century frames as an improvement (complete with convincing-looking data presented by convincing-sounding "engineers")

Almost every tourist train I know of has caboose charters. Get your friends to pool their money and have a foamfest in your own private car.,

Are there any actual disadvantages to them? They seem to perform as well as standard bike frames but with the advantage of being easier to mount and dismount without the top bar getting in your way. I know they were originally marketed to women who wore skirts because the top bar on traditional bikes got in the way and exposed their panties but it never quite made sense to me why these weren't just the "default" frame style in the first place, especially since most utility bikes and pretty much every single E-bike on the market uses this style of frame.

hell yeah. toss a milk crate on the back and that's a nice grocery getter. step-through means you can throw as much shit as you want on the rear rack and never worry about having to swing a leg over it

I am currently using a xiaomi smart band 9 to track my rides (so thats GPS from phone + HR from band), I start and end the ride from the band and the app automatically transfers the route, speed and heart rate to strava
I am wondering if I should upgrade to a bike computer cus I am not worried about how much calories I burn nowadays, as I got the idea of it. I just want to know how far I went and how long it took me, and to keep track of cadence so I learn to ride optimally
I have been looking at XOSS G2+ (pic related) with 2 sensors - one for cadence on crank and other on rear hub for speed (rotation)
my questions about bike computers in general are:
>do the bike computer accessories (cadence, speed, HR) connect to it, or to the phone
>does only the bike computer connect to your phone and stay connected constantly, or only to transfer data to strava or an app once the ride finishes?
>can I just get on my bike and ride, and the bike computer will then automatically upload my ride to strava once I am done?
>can I still use my xiaomi band 9 to measure my HR? will I be able to see my HR on the screen? or the bike computer only connects to HR sensors and not other "smart" devices
>should I get a bike computer with an actual screen to show maps/route?
>should I even get a bike computer to begin with, I am riding actual gravel and trails, basically exploring my region on weekends and driving 2-3 times to work a week, will the sensors and shit survive the rough terrain?
>will my mechanical watch (8 year old skx007) get fucked by the vibrations from the single/double track?
Thanks
