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 stravaI 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 optimallyI 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
>>2056746In fact that's a conservative estimate. A 5mph headwind can add 10 minutes if you pedal at the same wattage. So plus or minus 5mph means a 10mph difference, I assume you can do the math since you're clearly such a smart guy
>>2056748>In fact that's a conservative estimatelmao even
>>2056750Sorry you can't do the math, but it's 45 watts vs 128 watts to maintain the same speed
>>2056746i commute 19 miles (one way) a couple times a week and I can confirm his numbers. I don't use my bike computer for arrival estimates tho

>>2056982I'm a taxi driver and once had some horse riding people as passangers, i took them to a race where they would participate in, i could smell the horseshit on them, the clothes and hair soaked in the smell.
>>2058135that was not poop smell it was horse smell. I am amazed at how far removed from nature people from cities are, especially the lower classes who do not have extra income for travel. They seem to have very limited life experience
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/

If I passed you, don't take it personally. It's because you're slow, weak, and have no stamina. No, don't look at my bike. I could smoke you any day, even you were riding a Colnago Gioello, and I could do it on a $100 BSO from Walmart. Little man, learn to take defeat gracefully. I won, fair and square.If you passed me, chill out dude, you're such an insecure tryhard. You wasted all that money to win a race that only exists in your head. Sure I could have been a pro, still could if I'm being honest, but that kind of thing doesn't interest me, I have nothing to prove to myself. So why should I try to prove anything to others, let alone you? Stop and smell the roses, that's my philosophy.

>>2057116This is a custom racing bicycle, sir. Designed for competitive road cycling. This bike has a light-weight, space-age carbon frame and handlebars positioned to put the rider in a more aerodynamic posture. It also has micro-shifters and thirty-seven gears, and weighs under six pounds. I won the Tour de Mexico on this bike.

>>2056636>ywn board a train straight to San Francisco from the Claremont HotelWould save me so much fucking time every time I go to the Bay Area on business (I stay at the Claremont because fuck San Francisco hotels, they're overpriced garbage).>>2056680Honestly I can understand the rational behind dismantling the streetcars (or at least consolidating them into a smaller number of lines in the most densely populated areas and converting the rest into bus routes) as automobile usage increased, but the Key System's Transbay routes should have been preserved.
>>2056715Would have taken you 33 minutes by the 1954 timetable. Although the off-peak frequency of trains every 40-45 minutes has some room for improvement
>>2056623This might seem like a silly question but were the Key System trains ever coupled up to each other?
>>2057995OP’s photo shows those articulated bridge units with couplers so they must have been MU’ed at some point, maybe during rush hour.
>>2057995Bridge units (which were two cars each) were coupled together up to three (or four? units. Not sure). Trains of different lines were afaik never coupled together.
We are the most walkable city in the USAWe have pretty good public transit for the USABUT something sad is when I go to cities like SF and El Paso and Dallas among others I see old Philadelphia trolley cars. Yes, it's well know Philadelphia's trolley cars are world famous and we sold many of them off to other cities when we dismantled some lines. I've seen them in person in these cities. It just makes me sad but also a bit proud my transit history is all over the country I guess.I just want people to know that. That yes... Philadelphia trolleys are everywhere. It's a bitter sweet momentOh by the way... you didn't think pic related was Philly did you? Nope... that's El Paso with a Philadelphia street car. Imagine how that feels for Philadelphians.
>>2057422I like older Edwardianpunk streetcars like this storage battery powered car but PCCs are Art Deco icons and even today it’s like their route sign should read THE FUTURE.
>>2049412That El Paso car is pretty chill, I ride it sometimes when bar hopping. Haven’t had any issues with homeless on it even though its free. Most people just use it when there’s a baseball/football game, and during the week some Mexicans use it to get to work. Didn’t know you guys used the same model up in Philly.
Before PCCs these were common in Philly—the 8000 series “Nearside” car
>>2057839This type of car is called a Peter Witt car. It was conceived to have front entry and the conductor next to the middle door. That way people could get on right away but they'd have to pass the conductor eventually and pay the fare. This reduced dwelling times compared to the usual system of having people pay right when getting on.Though not exclusive nor unprecedented features, the triple front window and low floor at the center door are typical features of the Peter Witt car. This type of cars was common all over north America, and variants were also built in Europe, most famously in Milan, Italy where many of those trams from the late 20s are still in daily regular service.Pic related is a Peter Witt preserved in Toronto.
