I flew down to the Bay Area to take a journey on the Niles Canyon Railway's mysterious and rarely traveled Eastern branch aboard the M200 Railbus. The last of its kind still operating, the M200 once served the California Western Railroad as a literal schoolbus for children. Today is its first publicly available excursion in several years.

Why is /n/ in general so much more friendly and cordial than other boards?
>>2047065This. It's common knowledge that cyclists are healthier, more active and have (on average) bigger, thicker penises. Also cycling is a hobby that is statistically heavy with a white male demographic, thus one of the very last standing bastions against the unwashed horde. On a serious note, I have maybe met 1-2 people over the last 30,000 km bike touring who was non-white, nigs don't care for anything outdoorsy.So therefore you have a community that is relatively homogenous, fit, active and leaves the house regularly. This easily results in a friendly and accessible environment.

The Amtrak redemption arc continues?>https://media.amtrak.com/2026/04/amtrak-takes-big-step-towards-new-long-distance-trains/>It’s official! We’ve started the procurement process for Amtrak’s largest-ever Long Distance train order.>Our customers deserve the best, and this new fleet will move us full speed ahead into a new era of American train travel.>We’ve issued a formal request for suppliers to bid on the new Long Distance fleet replacement contract. Interested carbuilders are now preparing their proposals for submission. Following an extensive evaluation, we plan to announce our selected supplier by the end of 2027. >This once-in-a-generation fleet replacement program was developed in close coordination with the Federal Railroad Administration, with the goal of modernizing overnight and cross-country travel for a fleet that includes many cars today approaching nearly 50 years of operations.>The program calls for more than 800 new railcars across 14 routes.
Amtrak is shit and they will probably piggyback on the VIA order because the niggers that run Amshit are too incompetent to do the purchasing on their own.>>2074708based. I like to call them 'Unhandy Incapable'.
>>2081633Thank you BaconRider
>>2070947Long distance trains are the worst value train type. If it's longer than overnight it's no good. Train companies outside the U.S know thisOnly boomers and railfans ride long distance, and boomers are dying out. How much do you wanna bet Amtrak isdoing this to purposely sink ridership numbers to justify ending amtrak altogether at the next congress
>>2070952i think the main argument against double-decker trains is they slow down boarding and disembarking, unless you also have matching split-level stations.though how much of a problem it would be in the US where trains aren't the primary transportation option i think is a question worth asking.
>>2077867Federal spending is always newly created money. There is no direct relationship to tax revenue.
Post some bad (poor quality) seats
>>2081688NGL I'd pay extra to ride backwards on a plane. I prefer to ride backwards regardless of the mode of transportation because I prefer being pushed back into my seat by braking force.Though planes don't really brake much...
>>2082168Highest quality
>>2081688this would be sweet with a full size table in the middle
>>2082210via rail does this and it is indeed sweet
A thread to talk about this integral component.Along with tyres a saddle is perhaps the most impactful upgrade you can make to a bike in terms of delivering immediate and noticeable improvements to comfort and ride quality.I'll kick things off with a Brooks related question. Can anyone identify picrel?It has B66 Champion stamped on the side, and is fitted with the old fashioned sprung dual rail system. However, the B66 has a width of 205 mm, whereas this saddle is 175 mm. More like a B17 on top. A conundrum indeed.
>>2081005i have a backup saddle thats not as good but looks better
>>2080345>>2080948Brooks has in current production the Flyer, which is a sprung version of the B17 at 175mm width. From what I could find on a google search, the only difference between the Flyer and B66 Champion is the rails (single vs double) and the rivets (steel vs copper). The leather top is otherwise identical.
>>2080345You want a saddle with a cut-away section, or it will impede blood flow to your penis.
i notice that casuals love getting a saddle as big as possible. myself i like the little mtb one it makes me want to go fast
>>2082017They never ride a bike in their life, then go on a 30 minute ride and complain that their ass hurts not knowing it takes time to adapt to riding a bike. So they think obviously it must be a cushioning problem and not a "I have to be less of a fat fuck and ride my bike more often" problem

Was he retarded, malicious or both?
>>2080104>be me>first world country>wealthy for said countries and global standardsIMO nothing is more embarassing, effeminate, latent homosexual and weak than motorized personal transportation. It's even more embarassing when the user does obviously not only do so for the utility but also some kind of signalling, like 'OMG look at me im a homosexual brown person and relatively impoverished'
>>2080082>Are you implying no man was ever deceived? Mass hysteria is not a thing? Marketing has no point?no, that's why there are cyclists after all>inb4 more hysterical ramblings about """""motorists""""""
>>2080105>OMG look at me im a homosexual brown person and relatively impoverishedbut enough about your pedalling cope
>>2080105counterpoint: the sound of electric motors is soothing and the sound of gas/diesel engines is exciting, and you are SOULLESS, HEARTLESS, and absolutely YOULESS if you don't think machinery in general is fun and that riding a creature is also fun, and that combining the two isn't hella mad fun
>>2079469>Nearly all motorists cooperateWell, there you go. Forester needs a motor.
do you miss flying or do you prefer the bus?
>>2080437I dunno man, it looks nice in this one picture but imagine how much nicer it would be if it was on a train. You could have properly enclosed compartments, a place to go to get food & drink at any time, a consistently paced ride without ever having to stop for traffic (assuming good rail infrastructure), bathrooms that are guaranteed to exist and be functional and larger than a shoebox. Trains are so nice you can comfortably ride them for weeks on end, a single day on even the nicest bus is enough to wear most people out.
>>2080384>>2080388Buses in my region are very modern, they have ac and usb charging ports, and the passengers are regular working class people and students. Still don't like it. Had to take a 2 hour bus trip once because the train drivers where on strike. I was so fucking exhausted after that journey that I couldn't bring myself to do anything the rest of that day. They're only useful for inner city travel where you can hop off after a few minutes.
>>2080442>You could have properly enclosed compartmentsI don't see wha you cant have them on a bus and I suspect this company has got plans to do that.I also don't see how it matters really, when you fly first for example you got like 6 to 8 seats or so there and even if they're all occupied its not really that bad like you hardly even notice other ppl bc the dividers.>a place to go to get food & drink at any timeThose busses have that>assuming good rail infrastructureThis is literally the issue. If there is only shitty rail you can sit and throw a tantrum or simply accept that the way to fast dorward it is this sort of bus.>bathrooms that are guaranteed to exist and be functional and larger than a shoeboxThis bus has a bathroom and seperate dressing room.>Trains are so nice you can comfortably ride them for weeks on end, a single day on even the nicest bus is enough to wear most people out.Motorism is for various kinds of undesireables anyways so why would I care if theyre worn out?

One of these is a gravel bike.One of these is a road bike.What is the difference, exactly?
>>2081409Slacken
>>2081414Did you feel a noticeable difference?
>>2081418No lol i mean, it's a gravel bike, not dh, and it's not even actual 2°; it's somewhat less because it lower the front due to the geometry change. Then again, it's now a fixed fork instead of suspension, so not really comparable

Anons, I got this rear rack, but to be able to install it I had to remove the bikes seat post clamp, I think its holding proper but I dont know if thats the best idea, also, any tips on how to do this properly?I really have no idea what im doing here.Ita supposed to mostly carry water, clothes and maybe a tarp.

>>2081598You know, I think I'm starting to like the mole mom now that I've seen her smile, she's charming. Squirrell is the safe but boring choice, and the purple thing would be very funny.
I'd go with a Japanese macaque. It's a native species and can convey a wide range of emotions.

Is there still a fixie subculture anywhere out there, or am I showing my age? Im still enamored with the whole “fixie punk” aesthetic. Considering jumping back on social media is there are still people doing this. But I realize its a niche subculture from the early 2000’s thats been made fun of since day 1.
