>>2069037not really, the advantages/disadvantages of toob'd/toobless have more to do with weight and maintenance, which both can be overcome with different tires regardless of which one you prefer. like you can save 3g of rubber in the front or have 3 extra grams of weight in the back but at the same time you can just do literally fucking anything else to adjust your weight distribution, including just leaning forward or back very slightly. and if you think one wheel is too much of a pain to maintain more than the other, well, git gud

>6000 von 14000 Mitarbeitern werden bis 2030 entlassenDB Cargo hat wirklich konsequent alles falsch gemacht.Das lässt sich im Nachhinein immer leicht sagen, aber das haben hier eigentlich alle auch schon im Voraus gesagt.Aus meiner Sicht war in den letzten Jahren die fehlende Verzahnung mit der (ex-)DB Schenker ein schwerer Fehler.Das war eine potenzielle Goldmiene, die von unfähigem Management sowohl innerhalb des Konzerns als auch von staatlicher Seite zur in Flammen stehenden Bruchbude umfunktioniert wurde. Toll gemacht!

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.
So it looks like instead of dealing with the real problem they just made it illegal to go more than 15mph in central park
crazy how "motorists" can literally kill pedestrians but to ride an e-bike you need more papers than you would if you lived in nazi germany99% of police bodycam channels are traffic stops that open with the driver being drunk, high, having no license on their person, having no registration for their car, and somehow that's not what got them arrested in favor of having 90 pounds of weed and a giggle switched glock in their back seat (woulda just been a warning if they simply complied lol!!)buy you ride a bicycle with a battery on it on a side street and suddenly you're literally worse than someone driving a tank down main street
>>2067027good. it's too fucking crowded for anything else. freds can cross a bridge and find another park to do laps in
>>2067109If you're camping out on the loop trying to have a picnic that's a you problem. There's almost 900 acres of open space for you to lounge, walk, run, jog, play frisbee, take instagram photos, etc. The people on bikes are not venturing anywhere near those places. You stay in your place, I'll stay in mine. Go "toke" your Maui Wowie reefers and play the John Lennon song for the tourists in Strawberry Fields, I'm trying to ride a bike here.
>>2067027Doesn't seem like they're really enforcing this but maybe I've just been lucky

I NEED electronic shifting!It's SOOOO much better and faster and smoother than cable shifters!Shimano please take my one thousand american dollars to make my shifting divine forever! *(*- until next iteration of Di2 releases)
>>2068794Funny joke (I hope) but you have activated my autism. "ten speed" in the context of a downtube shift bike means 2x5.t. was alive when "ten speed" bikes were actually a thing (your parents probably weren't even born yet)Now get off my lawn.
>>2068817what are you arguing about?he said they were friction shift. which is true. Shimano SIS didn't get invented until the mid eighties. and by then, they were mostly doing 2x6 anyway. so yeah, most true ten speeds were friction shift.
>>2068834original poster said 8 speed moving to 10 speed, so let's start with thatalthough "10 speed" in a vacuum is a little bit ambiguous (could mean a "ten speed" meaning a 2x5 bike from a certain era (sometimes called old ten speeds or "OTS"), or could refer to the drivetrain parts that work with a 10 speed cassette)but once you add the context (that this thread is primarily a discussion of componentry rather than assembled bikes) it's more appropriate to assume that "10 speed" is also about the componentry and not a OTS. not least because nobody really talks about "old eight speeds" (spare me the autistic lecture about how 2x8 existed, no one cares). so a "10 speed chain" is obviously not a "chain from a OTS" but rather a chain that is meant to go on a cassette with 10 cogs. a "10 speed drivetrain" also is obviously not a reference to the drivetrain from a OTS.additionally, "going from 8 to 10" while also ambiguous on its own, becomes much less so when you note that there was a transition period when the default assumption for a "nice" bike went from friction to indexing (as around that time, 10 speed cassettes also became available). so that fits in very cleanly with the "he meant cassette with 10 cogs" narrativeso while it's entirely possible he just uses words in a strange way, overall, it's much more reasonable to assume that anon was talking about the componentry and not an OTS, and therefore "10 speeds (OTS) were all friction you dumb zoomie" is a non sequitur, and an embarrassing one at that

something about harley davidson making a bicycle reeks of typical american doing shit wrong on purpose to "prove" it will never work
>>2068725The only thing they did wrong was make it electric. Get rid of the battery and bottom bracket motor and you have a pretty solid fat bike

>>2068729see a lot of literal mopeds around the US today?
>>2068756NTA but I see quite a few 2-stroke bikes and Vespas riding around my town for what it's worth
I want to strangle every single big buck roadie fred and especially every single downhill-bike-in-a-park pomp who rides around just to do chainsaw sounds with their bicycle's very very expensive hub. "Give way, the asshole is coming!". Like, if you wanna make motorcycle sounds, get an actual motorcycle. A Harley actually sounds cool. A freewheeling bicycle sounds supremely annoying, and also means you are a weak shit who is not pedalling. Fuck you, go ride into a river.
>>2064838on the subject of tire noise, has anyone else had the experience of riding through a pool of lanternfly vomit, and the rest of their ride the tire noises are INSANELY loud?

>>2065249>Green Line extension into Southern PG and down to Waldorf>Cross-Potomac connection from National Harbor to AlexandriaI'd be so happy
>>2068486>Cross-Potomac connection from National Harbor to AlexandriaThe Wilson Bridge has provisions to run WMATA rail lines on the inside of both inner spans right next to vehicle traffic. The long term goal is to turn the Blue line into a loop and shift it north of the National Mall and route it down through SE between the Green line and the Potomac. Eventually, it goes from National Harbor to Huntington, and the Yellow line goes to Franconia.

A 17-year-old German teen has been living life as a modern nomad, leaving his parents’ house to live on trains and travel all over his country.While most 17-year-olds are only just beginning to consider the idea of leaving the nest, Lasse Stolley has already been on his own for over a year and a half. Convinced that his school studies were already behind him, he convinced his parents to allow him to leave their home in Fockbek, Schleswig-Holstein to embark on a unique train-hopping adventure. It took a lot of convincing, but they eventually agreed, and for the last year and a half, the German teen has essentially been living on trains, traveling all over his home country, working as a self-employed coder during the day, and sleeping on night trains at night.“I’ve been living on the train as a digital nomad for a year and a half now,” Lasse told Business Insider. “At night I sleep on the moving Intercity Express (ICE) train and during the day I sit in a seat, at a table and work as a programmer, surrounded by many other commuters and passengers. I travel from one end of the country to the other. I’m exploring the whole of Germany.”He gave into his wanderlust in 2022, selling most of his possessions and packing what was left in a 36-liter backpack that he has been carrying with him ever since. Minimalism and resisting the urge to acquire new stuff are an essential part of his lifestyle, as he needs to take everything with him wherever he goes. It’s not always easy, but he has found a way to make it work.https://www.odditycentral.com/news/german-teenager-left-parents-home-to-live-exclusively-on-trains-for-the-last-year-and-a-half.htmlhttps://www.businessinsider.de/leben/bahncard100-17-jaehriger-lebt-seit-jahr-2022-in-den-zuegen-der-bahn/

>>1986079>to embark on a unique train-hopping adventure>>1986087>Somewhere a homeless person in San Francisco or New York is laughing at this amateur dork.Came to post this, I took issue with referring to his lifestyle as "train-hopping". I mean, he's literally earning money by writing computer code and then he's spending the money on train tickets and food. That's not "train-hopping", that's just being a passenger. Train-hopping implies that you are hopping onto trains in secret and riding them undetected. People still do this in the US and in other countries, although I assume it's not that popular in Europe given their dilapidated freight rail system. I've met plenty of American youth like this guy but instead of making money online and buying tickets, they just ride the trains for free and consumer alcohol and drugs that they purchase using money they acquired by begging.>>1986463>>1986463>>2003169>not eating like a fat fucking pig. you can stay thin sitting down all day if you do this too.Comment too long.

Clark/Division It's old and dingy and loud as fuck but I love it anyway
>>2039456>Definitely building interior. Big art deco and union station styles are sovl.This is my train station. Union Station in Kansas City, Missouri. It is serviced by Amtrak as well as the KC Streetcar. You can see the streetcar stops on the far right of this photo. They are the small blue squares on the street underneath the over-the-road walkway/skywalk. This station currently sees 4 or 5 Amtrak Trains per day. At it's peak in the mid 20th century, it saw around 200 trains per day. Frankly we are lucky it even exists. By the late 1980s, this building was completely abandoned, with no tenants and no rail service and there was talk of demolishing it. But citizens came together and passed a bi-state tax to fund it's renovation. And since 1999 it has been the official Amtrak station and has other tenants inside. I hope that someday if we ever have high speed rail in the US, that this station could be part of such a network. It's such a beautiful building, especially on the inside. It's about 110 years old now. Here's hoping it stands for at least another century

Why did hydrofoils never take off?
The IMOCA 60s do a pretty good job of getting out of the water for a semi-foiler and something which could be turned into a proper cruiser.
The F50 is something to see sailing, seems to effortlessly get up on its foils, I hope I can get the chance to sail in one or something comparable some day.
So far the only foiler I have gotten to sail is one a guy I know made, great fun but you get a serious workout and it is kind of nerve wracking. Crashed at least a dozen times.
>>2067963>5500 pounds flying on those skinny little foils>the wing sail weighs over a tonSeems absolutely insane this works.
>>2044074They are abominations. It's that simple. A boat is not meant to fly. Ships are supposed to float on the water, not above the water. This paradox of their operation frightens and terrifies people, even if only at a subconscious level. You know it's wrong. It's like watching a dog walk on it's hind legs for an extended period of time. You know that if a dog is walking on two legs like a person, it's likely because it has been trained to do that with merciless, abusive beatings.
whats the use case of those fat tire e bikes arent you just putting more stress on everything?gas mopeds typlically only have 2.5/2/75 tires

>>20687111ce more, it really is just chinks being chinks. fat tire ebikes are abysmally cheaply designed and even cheaper made. it's literally just like that because they are either recycling baja/farm bike frames or otherwise trying to cheap out on material/design costs.proper Electric Motorcycles are exactly as you describe, oil or water cooled motors, batteries that go into a moulded compartment where the gas tank goes, and generally conventional styling. if not for random bike pedals bolted to it somewhere to skirt insurance requirements, you'd never know it wasn't a gas guzzler
