>>2083524>to me it looks like a mtb>fat mouth frothing retardsngl this level of retardation has to be respected
whole lotta's FUCKING POURS itt
>>2083526What is the point of using pour instead of poor? Is it because you are in fact poor and seeing the word is too much for you? As most things are...
>>2083525>be retard>argue with strangers on the internet>dismiss anything and everything posted>reply with calling someone a retardnever change.
>>2073492with which phone did you take this picture? Marvellous!
>be me, soviet crop duster>can't dust crops
>>2083389i dont think thats true and actually it's some kind of psyop. no one folds these things and most public transit doesnt allow bikes directly onboard in favor of the giant rack thing on the front. (or on the train theres usually a spot to hang it up)folding bikes are already a huge meme, making them downhill-styled is clearly some kind of marketing trick
>>2083388normalfags like features features featuresthey don't know or care about bikes, they want one bike to do everything, and if it folds you can put it in the trunk of your suv and go to the woods where you'll ride it for a couple km and never do it again because the bike sucks
>advertises as giving its driver absolute freedom>enslaves the entire developed worldLe oops
>be so grossly overbudget that you bankrupted one of the most prestigious aerospace manufactures in the world and they ended up getting bought out by their sworn rival
>>2083666not to white knight for a defense company that clearly didnt know what the fuck it was doing for the last few years of its life, but this is a situation where it took two to tango. by the late 80s early 90s the DoD had clearly gotten too used to giant budgets and infinite good will from congress. the program was a mess with changing requirements and downright delusional ideas of what they wanted from it. McD also shares the blame though, as everyone is aware of. they had a history of way over promising on features that few or no one asked for to try and sweeten deals and give out equally delusional timeframes and budget expectations. this also killed their JSF (future F-35) program submission and even torpedoed their relationship with American Airlines when they did this with the MD-11. they dont get enough blame with the MD-11 honestly. everyone blames trijets for its downfall, but its pretty clear that they way McD was running that show killed it despite having a product that made sense in certain areas. now THAT plane's development was a real shitshow.
Is Philadelphia the ultimate /n/ city?
>>2083381the ultimate /n/ city in the US is New York, and that's an objective fact
>>2083605What kind of absolute shithole mentality would just tear down half the city instead of just cleaning up downtown jfc
>>2083768amerimutt mentality? see >>2083634they bulldozed giant swaths of cities for "freeways" but really it was to displace blacks and chinks, occasionaly it*lians
>>2083768>tear down half the city instead of just cleaning up downtown jfcThey did. The reasons why freeways go into the city cores was because the downtown business interests wanted it...remember, the original idea was for freeways to connect cities to each other, not go into the city core. But it wasn't able to save them. It didn't matter if the freeways went through downtown, went around downtown, or bypassed downtown entirely, they all suffered.Most of the aerials we have that are "after freeways" show what it looked like by the late 1960s after major social upheaval had happened and years after they went in.
>>2083381Philly's a nice city, but SEPTA should be so much better than it is.
Why weren't these a thing more often in the heyday of railroads?>gives freight trains an additional source of income>passengers can presumably pay for tickets less since freight trains usually run on slower schedules>allows for mixed trains without the need to pull a coach from regular passenger service>can be coupled to the back of a regular passenger train during periods of high demand, the crew will enjoy the added privacy too>lonely freight train crews will enjoy the additional company>can be outfitted as extra crew accommodation when not in revenue service
>>2070676That thing's seen better days
>>2078863perhaps the same could be said about all of us
>>2041357You laugh but from the 1800s up until the Rail Passenger Service Act of 1970 railways were legally required to provide passenger service along their freight lines which greatly shaped expectations of what passenger service should look like.
This might be a post-retirement conversion but this caboose definitely looks like it was intended for passengers with those windows.
>>2041357The government and the railroad companies have been tied closely together, they got free land grants from the government and in exchange they got regulated more than any other industry.
What would be carried on this car?I can't decide whether it's for carrying automobiles that they don't want people breaking in to, or livestock that need air?
>>2082543@grok make a Ukranian train with shitting dick nipples.
>>2082254Pretty sure I put my car on one of those in lviv many years ago, Ukraine had quite a good car train network at some point. I guess not anymore
>>2082455It's nice for birds and other wildlife in the winter.
>>2082421Ukraine also has cartoonishly large gauges, right?
>>2083606Ukraine uses the same 5' gauge as Russia.
Are pleasure horses /an/ or /n/?
What kind of pleasure anon??
What kind of pleasure horse, Anon?
>Be Anon>Go to obvious third world nation>Some guy with a horse comes up to him>"Oi mego! You want rent pleasure horse yes? Twenty dollar!">Anon nervously hands the man a crisp 20>He hands Anon the reigns>The man walks away>Anon now has a pleasure horse
>>2083638>reigns
do I need to bring my own bucket?
>drive 30+ minutes down a road>it just stops>no outlet, get rekt niggerthe life of a courier is nasty, brutish, and short
Even turning around and back tracking is a road
Isn't Czechia just now finally building a connection to the Polish motorway system?
>look how retarded the Magyars are, they build roads that start and stop out of nowhere
>>2083112I think the pic is more a joke on a kind of unrequited love/effort, you autist
>>2083635Bold of you to assume that yugos have humour
First day of a one year bicycle trip.Let's play a game. I'll regularly post, in this thread, pictures of the bike in different places, use your OSINT skills to pinpoint where i'm at.Rules :- Find out the street name in a city or a town name in the countryside ans I'll post boobs.- I'll rarely use another mean of transportation, but when I do I'll only mention the type and duration.- I'll always leave the correct timedate in the filename.- maybe some more rules later.
>>2083145the girl from universewithme has toured the entire planet on drops near saddle height, which is what this guy has.
i've given up on the idea of touring it's just a shitload of expensive gear only for the dogshit experience of being on the roads constantly
>>2082910>>2082913>Find out the street name in a city or a town name in the countryside ans I'll post boobs.>>Never posts againHoly kek
>>2083164i dont see why this shouldnt work. cruiser bars up top, drop hooks down low.
>>2083174i dont know. to me long distance riding means aero bars so you can lay down over your front wheel and just pedal for hours without tiring your upper body
What is your city's train system like?
>>2080506I wish I could say that Switzerland doesn't have gay and cringe subways and only based and chad trams but of course those meddling frech-swiss had to screw it up. They actually converted a pretty kino little rack railway (formerly funicular) into an abhorrent rubber-tyred metro.
>>2080506it's fine except I'm in an area where there's none. *sigh*
my city doesnt have one because it's full of retards but also the geography is unironically bad for it
The Montreal metro has become disgusting.
>>2080506not a metro retard
Anyone else feels like absolute shit after crashing? it's not even the pain of it it's just the faith in your ability slowly dying inside. When I was younger it was whatever but now it feels like someone chipped away a chunk of confidence.
>>2046153Based optimist. I believe in you.
>>2079139Well he wrote crashes plural so it's safe to assume it's 365 days a year. Probably keeps a crash journal>>2080201You walked for like 4h with broken ribs? What was it like? (besides painful and depressing)
A few days ago I got hit for the first time in a decade of riding, a few tens of thousands of miles and it was a pathetic collision>riding down a hill on a right shoulder bike lane>levels out and there's some houses on the right>line of traffic barely moving>I get to the evened out area>suddenly car turns right a few feet in front of me, I guess one of the houses was theirs>I yell and try to turn wheel so I don't hit head on>some woman, omg I didnt see you etc>i scuffed up her car a few spots>bike fine>the top joint in my left pinky is definitely hurt in some way, its bruised up and hurts, probably sprained or something>form makeshift splint out of stick and tape it to my ring finger, the hell im going to a medical facility and paying a shitload for scans or whatever
>>2045580>Risk can't totally be eliminated, but it can be mitigated....>nd I still don't wear a helmet now. I figure when it's my time to die, it's my time to die. A helmet isn't going to change that. SIs this bait?
>>2045580Better hope you die and dont end up trapped in your body as a retard. Brain injury ain't nothin to fuck with.
I hate these niggas
>>2082191This is why you leave your reflectors in. Reflectors vicious spin keeps a coasting bicycle from looking like a swanning object animals will stay away.
>>2082753this is why i brake for birds and then briefly consider roaring into the night for the song dogs
>>2082243Squirrels don't have buddies, they are fiercely territorial assholes and the second one was probably going to pin the first one down and chew his nutsac off, so hold your head high, you literally did nothing wrong
>>2082225Ahh yes, the ol Kung Lao 240zx 's
pigeon flew straight into my front wheel today. when I looked back it was gone so I guess the little retard lived. it's a miracle it didn't send me otb or wreck my front wheel considering it's an 18 spoke radial. scary
>>2076727Presumably that's what he meant. DMIR ore jennies had a seperate brake pipe/valve. It's called "straight air" or Orinoco retainer. There is a seperate handle on the engine to set up the brakes and it can be maintained as you use your normal automatic brake. The Orinoco *retainer* name hints at its intended use. It basically takes the place of a conductor going back and flipping some retaining valves to hold a set on cars.This system still exists today with CN keeping captive AC44C6Ms in the area(3300-3350 mostly) being fitted with the straight air handle.
>>2076727>>2076731>The Mesabi Range was known to the local Ojibwe as Misaabe-wajiw ('Giant mountain').[1][2] Throughout the Mesabi Range, Mesaba and Missabe spelling variations are found along with places containing Giant in their names.
I guess it's like allegany/allegheny/alleghany where there's a bunch of places around that drainage basin where they spammed a different transliteration onto it because there was no agreed system at the time
>>2078743The Ojibwe rode Giants?
>>2076690>misabe rangeWhat's that?
Should public transit focus on access or efficiency?Access means you have full access to underused (but possibly vital to some) routes and night/weekend service at the cost of undermining the "public transit is efficient" argument, but efficiency means you cut those routes and timetables.Can't have both in a single system.
>>2079778>cities get magic returns on revenue by giving subsidized travel to minimum wage workersyeah, we should quit building roads for the exact same reason. we should only build roads that charge a fare and if they're not profitable we should tear them up
>>2079200If I can't get everywhere in the city it's not effective public transit, just a commute/shopping line.
>>2079200Privatise and deregulate the whole lot.>>2079275Paid for more than twice over from car and fuel taxes.>>2079343Imaginary thinking
>>2079200ACCESS all areashttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka8kT_YOtU0
>>2083571I genuinely wish this guy would ride his bike into oncoming traffic to be honest

>>1868300noooooo
>>2013301oooh, even better!
>>2080953I knowI was thereSo long ago...
>>1843110Damn I was a whole different person from when this thread was created.
>>2081368I just saw the 08/23 and assumed it was August of this year :O
Cycling isn’t a game, it’s a sport.
>>2083230SEX with CREATURES
Tough, hard and unpitying, and it requires great sacrifices. One plays football, or tennis, or hockey. One doesn’t play at cycling.
>>2083522pretty sure Merckx was more of a hard cunt than anyone who ever played tennis. then again, there's retards who actually believe golf is a sport, so it's one of those semantical things
>>2083548the quoute is from Jean de Gribaldy. during 1945 to 1954 he was teammates with Ferdy Kübler, Pierre Brambilla, Charly Gaul, Paul Giguet, Maurice De Muer, Émile Idée, Camille Danguillaume and even Jean Robic.Pierre Dieterle wrote a book about him called Jean de Gribaldy, la légende du Vicomte and the latest edition will be released on november 5
