This is what true cycling used to be about

I want to start riding together with my kid and to do that we need to drive out to trails. Do I need a bike rack or can I just take the front wheel off and fit an adult bike and a child bike in the back of a Subaru? What bike racks do you recommend? Ideally roof mounted so I don't have to shill out another $1000 for a hitch.
>>2082678It's an SUV but the problem is I can't fold the seat back since kids have to ride in the back with a booster. It might work if I fold half of the back seat? Just wanna know how other people handle this when they drive their bikes out.
Also we are not serious cyclists so I'm hoping to invest as little money into this as possible.
>>2082679I mean how the fuck should we know? open the back of your SUV and try to put your bike in it. remove wheels as necessary.there should be plenty of room
I fit my XL 700c hybrid into the back of my old Accord by dropping the backseat and taking off the front wheel and seatpost. I once fit my xl frame 26" bike at the bottom of my trunk by taking off the wheels and seat post and then fitting the bags of 4 people for a weekend trip to a lake house and obviously having 3 passengers, so no seats down. The '07 accord does have a huge trunk though.
>>2082677If you don't want to get a trailer hitch (which is nowhere near $1K if you get one installed at UHaul) you can get a one that hangs on the tailgate but they're still pretty pricey https://realtruck.com/p/thule-outway-hanging-trunk-bike-rack/thu-994005/?srsltid=AU7gw4VquB0EZBnPH1Glf71RiXoKrQfnLPNVvsZ5LRzNcZx7QoAq9J7N
I'll start: my old Mongoose XR-150
>>2080226nice
>>2080227I bet you get mad at people for driving older cars too instead of letting their Tesla drive for them.
>>2080151nice color
A mongoose hilltopper in a beautiful purple color.My second bike that is my first non BSO.Too small for me since I've had it since early teen but it's been a reliable bike.Now I have the Raleigh Capri that was posted in pyb a bit ago, while it's a lot faster and the correct size compared to the mongoose, it's also a heavy fucking bike.
race commute & leisure bikeI rode the shit out of it this year
when will cycling be perfected?
>>2082101That's why touring tires exist that favor heavily towards puncture resistance.Marathon Plus being often agreed as the king of preventing flats, but weighing in at 750g each.There's also the Continental Contact Plus and Contact Urban that don't weigh as much, a bitch to put on rims without a bead jack.
other than not being as compact or light is there a proper reason why you couldn’t design a bike around a car seat?
>>2082681bad ergonomics
>>2082681you wouldn't be able to pedal?you could make it a recumbent but the whole reason nobody uses them is they don't really work on uphills. the weight of an upholstered bucket seat would make them even worse. the COG of the backrest would probably make it handle like shit.
>>2082703hmm makes sense. it would be cool to have a bike thats also a small camper van so it doesn’t need a license or fancy fuel or tech to be used
This is the O-Bahn.A tram is a train on the road, this is a bus on rails.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyUA-AuLkjkIt's a bus that can turn into a train
>>2082598these are always cool but i want to see a train that can turn into a bus. i want to see a subway train driving down a street.
>>2082604>i want to see a subway train driving down a streetKeihan Keishin Line has street-running sections and also runs onto the Kyoto Subway
>>2079455You vill ride ze pod
>>2079457>>2079493There is a similar looking pod in Perugia, Italy, but it runs as a fixed route like a "real" metro system.

What the fuck is wrong with these mongoloid slackers? They completely underschedule longhaul trains everywhere outside the NEC so almost no one can use them for shorter trips and then wonder why ridership is in the shitter. Each route should be minimum 3x a day per direction.

anyone has any experience with the Ergotec Ladytown or Trekking handlebars? pics? i hate that they don't have pics of the bars on a bike. i'm looking for some 30-45 deg backswept bars with no upsweep (why the fuck would you have an up-sweep on a bar grip is beyond me) and minimal rise.
>>2082170That's a good point about the controls, I never really thought about it, I have a 22.2 stem. I should have weighed the emgo bars I got but I can assure you they weren't 5 lb., they're pretty comparable to chromo cruiser bars for the size. Of course I've held moto or atv bars that were way the fuck heavier than that so buyer beware. I just like throwing it out there because I figure if I can save one hipster from a $120 pair of chromo crust bars that might as well be rebadged emgos I've done my good deed for the dayClaimed weight of picrel is 1 1/2 lb., they're similar to mtb bars badged as sr, nitto, specialized back in the day
>>2082278Most crust branded stuff is made by nitto. I have yet to handle any motto bars that don't weight a ton and everyone I know who has experience with them says the same. You're the first who said he had some light ones. Not calling you a liar, just saying it's uncommon. These bars here >>2082196 are my smallest ones and are stupid heavy it doesn't even make sense, weight as much as these >>2082198 with the crossbar. But yeah they're a great cheap option. Everyone is running bmx stems anyway on their 90s mtbs.
I have this on my retro MTB. I like it but it's a bit too narrow and I'm too much of an autist to follow the trend of moto style handlebars
>>2082517Just get mothbars or something
>>2082517a classic northroads bar doesn't have those bends forward of the clamp, but they're about 100 mm wider than the traction b22s, and the basic Sunlight model on Amazon is $27 for steel and $40 aluminum
Lets see them again for the hundredth time.
>>2083272It was $60 jones rider copy and the point is the long bars and sweep so you can ride fully upright. I suffer from hand numbness and wanted to try the fully upright riding position with swept bars but also want to be able to make my body more aero when getting hit by strong wind so I put my riser aero bars on it too.
>>2083306Forgot pic. They have bith this riser and non riser version on amazon. They're typically cheap alloy bar quality but the shape is right and thats what I wanted.
>>2083309The jones idea of an aero bar is basically a dildo mounted to his non riser bars. I think this man is trolling the bike industry.
>>2083310well... that's one way to do it... I guess

Does everybody know that there is this super old website with tons of infos and pictures on latin american trams? Pic is from Ponce, PR
>>2082391its http://tramz.com/, apparently putting a link in the mail textbox doents work anymore
>>2082391>>2082392Yeh, I've read a lot about those trams there. I lived in Mexico City for a while so it was interesting to read about its tram history. Until a few years ago there were quite a few streets there with tram tracks left, by now it's gotten less but you might still find a few.Interesting tidbit about Mexico City trams: pic related, this one PCC that was face lifted with larger windows and twin headlights. Only one was made, probably because at the time it was decided to shut down the remaining tram lines.

>>2080394For me it was all about the spurs.
Strictly speaking, are taxis public transportation?
>>2081505not really no. Public generally means publicly funded and they are a private business. I guess you could make a case that Greyhound busses could be considered "Mass transit" since they operate like public transit while being privately owned
>>2081542Public doesn't mean collective (i.e.: buses)>>2081624No, public means it's for public, as opposed to private, use.
>>2081692By that same logic a private jet is public transport since you can rent it. It's a for hire service. Semi public at best.
>>2081705>since you can rent itif you rent it, it is. if you don't, it's not. sounds pretty simple.
>>2081505Yes, 1000%.Transportation doesn’t strictly entail buses or trains. A taxi is a form of TRANSPORT available to be used for the PUBLIC.
hey /n/ this is my cat rupert i was thinking about taking him on the bus to see the sights of the city but i couldnt find any rules on it, do you know if can cats go on busesi have a cat carrier but would he be allowed out to see out the window?
>>2071626The only reason anyone went to see it was because it was christina ricci as a nympho getting chained up by a large black man
>>2077182There is LITERALLY nothing wrong with 26 year old chrstina ricci in a basement wearing only panties and a heavy cast iron chain while a black man in a wifebeater who is old enough to be her dad tells her she can't have her clothes until she embraces jesus and they have a deep spiritual bonding session about sin
>>2079056apparently she was quite unhappy with the way they marketed it
>>2056672I love you Rupert!
>>2056672Hey anon, cat owner here. Good you have a cat carrier, but has your cat been outside before? If not, it could be very stressful. I’d recommend taking him out for short trips for a while, then moving to longer trips before the tour. Hope Rupert can see your city soon.P.s. I’d imagine cats are allowed on buses
