I will never not see "SEPSIS" when I see SEPTA
>>2066616Considering MARC is probably going to expand to Delaware, is more of this possible in the future?
>>2072288Fuck. If there were another example of delaware being a non state...
Post more different trains forced to work together

Am I the only one who feels like a fucking loser wearing the dork helmet? Every time I go cycling the only ones wearing helmets are>elderly couples>loser nerdy white and asian guys>childrenNone of the cool masculine guys wear a helmetEven skinny short girls will stop next to me, with no helmet and I just feel like a fucking faggot for being a helmetcuckOn the other hand I don’t want to hit a pothole or a car and become a vegetable - so maybe I really am a pussy cowardWhat do you guys think of this?
>>2075356How will a helmet protect your butt?
>>2074139Statistically, a cyclist commuter has the same odds of head/brain injury as a jogger.I don't wear a helmet to jog, so when I'm hitting red light after red light and getting up to what, 20km/hr? I feel no need to use a helmet.
>>2075677>20km/hr?Holy shit you're slow.
>>2075678Yeah, hence the no helmet and just going from red light to red light. Ain't nobody ever got late to their funeral.
>>2073807I like mine for smashing branches out of the way.
man biking up hills sucks ass
Just buy an escooter retard. It feels so good passing these sweaty heavy breathing lycrafags
>>2075583You've seen the electric planes? Thats how they work: jet engine powers a generator. The suppose laughability of a piston charging a battery was only cause its redundant use-case. Piston power has only held on for stop and go traffic. Which a electric motors best application. Hybrids have been backward since launch. Also evening parabolic piston engine cycling for hypermiling cruise.
>>2074544>>2074605This is my favorite board, but it's crazy to me when a /fit/ poster comes here and makes cyclists spontaneously combust for no reason. Bicycle people are high-strung like cats.
>>2075636most hybrids use the ICE engine to also power the drivetrain for better throttle response at speed, high(er)-end torque, and fun vroom vroom noises. or at least thats what the older prius models did, idk about modern slop vehicles but theyre all designed by retards anyway
>>2075648Yes. The starter/alternator/flywheel component existed at the inception of the automobile. It could be that way again. But a turbine powering an 4 electric hubs or dual motor would be ideal.
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/
>>1986079He got off the train thougheverbeit?
>>1986100of course they have the internet, they have Obama phones. Lefties can’t give away the hard earned money of the middle, and lower middle class, fast enough to useless drug addicts and hobos.
>>2071201damm, I forgot about that meme
>>1986079>17 years old>not living at homeThis must be fake news. He's of the sel-important/coddled generation. Worse than hippies.
>>2071703He's 19 now though
>wears a rolex daytona while driving, just like paul newmanFine>wears a rain coat when it's raining, just like gene kellyFine>wears gym shorts at the gym, just like wilt chamberlainFine>wears aviators just because, just like val kilmer in top gunFine>wears tacticool ballistic nylon cargo pants when working, just like steven seagal in under siegeFine>wears cycling shorts when cyclingWhoa wait WHAT NOOOOO YOU CAN'T DO THAT YOU TRYHARD WHAT IF SOMEONE THINKS YOU'RE LANCE ARMSTRONG AND YOU WOULD HAVE TO TELL THEM YOU'RE NOT A PROFESSIONAL RACING CYCLIST THEN THE UNIVERSE WOULD EXPLODE NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
>>2067330Or you could have 23 watches. Buy what you want, nobody can stop you as long as you didn't impregnate them.
>>2067330If you can't buy it two without any saving then you can't afford it.
>>2064062Aviators are dated. Get you some Oakleys.
>>2073670I only wear 100%s because I wanna be like sagan
>>2018683I just don't want to dress like a faggot, desu.
>*combines the aggressive solipsistic entitlement of an exurban helicopter parent SUV karate lessons karen with the sanctimonious humblebrag better-than-you instagram mentality of a childless upper middle class urbanist in your path (literally in your path because it's in your physical path being as expensive and space-hogging as an actual car, while being as slow and annoying and needy and pointless and "look at me" as a dutch bike, in everyone's path) in your path*>*heh, nothin' personnel kid, as in, look at these kids of mine that I am effectively using as human shields, so give me everything in return for nothing or you're a monster and I will have you cancelled for not buckling immediately and catering to my massive sense of entitlement, kid*When did cargo bikes go from being a crusty, get-it-done, no-nonsense niche improvised delivery tool for reasonable humans, to being the single most punchable conspicuous consumption fashion accessory in the history of wheels?Also, cargo bikes hate thread, and yes I took my meds thanks for the reminder though
>>2052089>koon designAre we really gonna allow him to get away with effectively saying "nigger rigged"?
After trying a bike trailer I really can't understand the point of a cargo bike. The trailer is removable and easily stored when you're not using it. But with a cargo bike you're stuck with an enormous and awkward platform all the time.
>>2070133yeah but they dont sell to (you). they make ice cream carts and coffee vending trikes and shit, not vehicles designed for personal use
>>2074851I had that set up, but after blowing several spokes and finally having my freehub open like a flower, I bought something purpose built for 550 lbs.
>>2074851>motorFaggotry. Pure unbridled faggotry.
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?
>>2067340Meow means meow
>>2065597
>>2065584Terrible movie, nothing but a collection of clichés and trend following.
>>20566855pBpHe should stay home.
>>2071627Eh some cats are fine with it especially when they're young or if they're accustomed. When my cat was smol I used to take her to the park on a leash and she didn't mind much
Is riding on top end groupsets if you're not a top end cyclist stolen valor? Or is this sour grapes?What groupset would you ride if you could get any groupset you wanted for free, but when/if you sold the bike you would have to price it as whatever groupset you ride now. That is, if your financial circumstances were no different and you were subject to the same "rules" as you currently as in terms of other people judging (because we all know unlimited wealth begets shamelessness), what do you choose?
>>2073554it really was just the hub. some fat dentist can drop 5.2k on a "racing" bike that uses teh same entry level shimano slop a wal mart bike does and i will merely chuckle at him behind his back about his poor financial choices. something about the incredibly loud/aggressive sounding hub was the clincher thoughthoughbeit my own bike is also loud as fuck but that's because parts of it are visibly clanking around and it sounds that way due to LOW performance. the idea that another bike that's supposed to be "good" and yet also sounds like the denouement of "Hustle Bones"* is dumb ass shit. i will admit it is irrational and probably more motivated by my hatred of modern bike and bike accessory manufacturers than the riders/(L)users thereof* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCgxi-h1PoI
>>2038740No, it's called having a credit score above 650.
>>2075395I'm curious about your thought process here, are you applying for a 72 month loan to buy a bike with Super Record, and you needed a lower interest rate or you won't be able to afford the monthly payments?If you're measuring the cost of the bike in terms of monthly payments that kind of tells me you can't afford it to begin with but I guess everyone has their one thing they'll gladly fuck up their life over. Better this than cocaine?
>>2075397Just Klarna and EWA the interest payments. It's literally free money. Sorry you're stupid and poor. You'll get on the ladder someday. :)
>>2075425I have over $150k in cum-encrusted $2 bills under my mattress that I have been saving since I started selling my bussy under the Bruckner Expressway underpass 5 years ago, why are you so poor?
Is there literally ANY reason to use mech dicks when picrel exist?
>>2075503No. Let the retards ride disc on road. They deserve the punishment
>>2075492But stiff is good thats why carbon fiber good??
>>2075522Carbon is good because it can be made stiff in one direction and compliant in another depending on the layup.
>>2075503rim & disc both good but also this
>>2074730>or
I am a railway fan from Moscow. In my free time, I make videos of trains, subways, and transportation. Ask questions about my activities, and the transport of my country, stereotypes, in general, everything that is interesting, I will try to answer.
>>2066193I mean it kind of is empty though except for that one narrow line straddling the kazakhstan/mongolia border
>>2055036>7.1 Surround Rail
>>2067566Yooooooo
>>2055104lewd
>>2056886I hope it's possible again 10 years from now.
>pisses himself in your path
>>2073539It seems like the pissing is something of a draw for them. Triathletes seem like really weird and culty people. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a lot of overlap with crossfit practioners.
>>2073530just whip it out n pee while riding
yes I also piss myself in training
SNIFFFF
>>2073530Whats the problem? You cant even see my piss on my black bibs. It could also be sweat. You honestly havent lived if you've never pissed your pants in public. Its the most unhinged punk feeling shit i do lately.
32 inch bikes are the Future. They roll faster, they jump better, they land softer, and they win every race.Why don't you have one yet?
>>2075116Are you black?
>>2075120Silly anon, if I were black then I would've simply stolen somebodies 32in bike instead
>>2075049My 29 incher already sticks out when behind my car and causes my fuel efficiency to drop.
>>2075191Nerd
>>2075191>My 29 incher already sticks outkeep it in your pants dude
is it possible to just a plague-infested ship to fuck off indefinitely?
>>2072721>>2072686A few years ago I watched a bunch of her videos. She almost convinced me that a cruise would be enjoyable. Almost...
>>2072610People just love breathing on, and getting breathed on by strangers. Its the premiere human identity at this point.
>>2073051crazy how people now think it's worse to have someone cough in the same room as you than it is to have ten different dudes and a variety of animals nut in each and every one of your holes
>>2073064
>>2072610there is no "hantavirus", people become ill for others reasons.
What are the advantages of these things as opposed to, idk, a bus?
>>2073066>they have lower running costYou are legitimately out of your mind unless you're including some kind of bullshit carbon emissions cost in that calculation
>>2073067The thing is no one wants to take the bus because they suck and are slow. So if you only run buses everyone will just drive.
>>2072881ive only been on one LRT outside of NA but it had separated track and priority at intersectionsit was still slow as fuck however, but at least it had comfy seats
>>2068706>Transit-Oriented-Developmentmodern city planners do not understand this and have no interest in learning. they just plonk new suburbs along the highways and demand giant high-rises get built in the middle of fuck nowhere with only a 45kmh country road for accessmodern city planners are like a generation of kids who played sim city but had to constantly use money cheats because they couldn't manage taxes or balance demand
>>2069184That is true. Fixing the most used roads isnt an option. My favorite part of the bus is the widows creeking cause 40 feet of wheel base isnt opposed to be on 3 wheels cause of a pothole. Reminds me of how torpedos break ships in half by removing the water in the middle...
The shape of bikes to come
>>2075046>would be more useful to describe the tire as having (fewer/less in) losses, not "being fasterYou're just arguing about semantics which is retarded>you'll notice that this sort of language almost never appears in marketing for tires for any other sort of vehicleFuel efficient tiresYou're so convinced you're smart but you're actually a fucking dimwit.
>>2074857If your bike doesn't look like this you're poor
>>2075393Yawn
>>2074902traction is simply the static friction between your tire and the ground times the normal forcerolling resistance is energy loss during tire shape restoration as it is deloadedthey are not necessarily the same thinga train has fuck all rolling resistance and literally tons of traction
>>2075051NO!!! DO NOT DO THIS> YOU HAVE TO RUN TUBELESS FOR LOWER PRESSURE
