>>2000756Riding up the final hill to home, ever so slowly pedaling standing up in a high gear, pedaling with full ankle range of motion to slightly stretch tired legs. Riding forest trails with light and shadows playing everywhere, feeling the cool forest air pass by your sweaty face, the ever so slightly moist road being smoother than asphalt roads.Finding new barely used section of gravel road that is almost 10km, and links nicely to other grave roads and forest trails.Feels good.

I’m new to bike tires. Heard good things about gp5000s but they seemed too race oriented and wears quickly. Are there any tires that has a good mix of speed, grip, and durability?
>>2008333>puncture-resistant tires are impossible to rideskill issue

>>2008338you've probably gotten used to them, and their ultra high rolling resistance... when i tried them they were unridably heavyi will buy gp 5000 next to try out, as they been tested to have low watt resistance in lab teststhis site seems to have all the tires testedhttps://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/road-bike-reviews/continental-grand-prix-5000-tl-2018

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/

>>2000421i had a good buddy in college who dated a girl from an extraordinarily wealthy west coast lumber baron family. at their yearly family get together all the younglings would pitch their entrepreneur ideas to the adults and many of them would end up getting funded. most failed, of course, but failure is part of being a serial entrepreneur, or even the average small business owner. as you say, it's obviously easier to take these sorts of business risks when you know it won't ruin you financially or really have any effect at all. never forget that the vast majority of wealth is inherited, not won from scrapping in the free market

>>2008158The orange line is practically the current N line. The brown line makes sense. The blue line gives a direct route for niggers to come into the asian neighborhoods. The black line would never be allowed for the same reason.
I do not care for san francisco
we're never going to see another mass transit project in this country again
>>2008158Posted this elsewhere, but this is what Chicago needs.
City of Toronto has 2 new LRT lines set to enter service later this year or early 2025 (both extremely delayed and over budget) Orange and Grey line in the image.Both lines have significant at grade sections. The orange line, Eglinton, is fully grade separated from the western terminus east to science centre Station. East of science centre the line runs at grade in the middle of the road and does not have signal priority. The finch line, Grey line, is completely at grade with the terminus stations below grade. Also does not have signal priority. Can lines operate successfully this way? I feel the Eglinton line's tunnel and grade separated section is completely compromised by the at grade eastern section. Without signal priority it's just another street car line.I believe finch has signal priority on some intersection but only to keep it within a few minutes of a set schedule.
>>2005630The dumbest part is each line has its own model of rolling stock and it's own yard
>>2005728It's like each new line is a project to undermine the entire system as a whole... I don't understand this city. I guy I know was working concrete for the engli to line. Apparently all these delays are from some aquafir they just discovered around Yonge and englinton. They are considering splitting the line there having one go east of Yonge and the other west. With all these environmental studies n shit you would think there had been some kind of contingency or engineering to rectify this issue....
>>2000549The Milton line is also being grade separated and will have high frequency service that'll effectively make it a heavy rail metro.
>>2000549why the fuck do they use light rail for such things
>>2000527>later this year or early 2025lol
Whether in elegance of design, efficiency, the lives of the crew, the romance or just the wild amount of often forgotten designs from days of yore, what are your favorite eras in steam Locomotive development? This is mostly tailored for Americans, but cite your country of origin or even the nation you pick as you make your pick and perhaps explain why.The Experimental Era(1804-1828)The Beginning (1829-1845) when the first proper railroad companies began to form, think of designs like the Planet, Rocket or Best friend of Charleston. Rough, pioneering and adventurous, everything was being thrown at the wall pretty much. 1845-1860 (Age of Builders)The age of iron. imagine the 4-4-0 American, first gen teen wheelers, early camel backs, iron boiler and wooden cab era , also antebellum America. 1861-1895(Age of Distance)More refined 4-4-0’s, slowly improved performance with better track quality, higher boiler pressures, consolidations and early experimental compound locomotives are beginning to appear. Final era of brightly colored locomotives (in America ) Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Geared locomotives. I like that a new idea was tried with how to transmit the power to the wheels.
The streamliner era was gorgeous, but I also have a fondness for that turn-of-the century era when you still had little engines, but some were getting bigger
>>2007070This is true. Those last few steam engines still inspire awe
>>2007050The alternate universe where the Breitspurbahn was built.
I’ve always liked the super colorful and highly ornate aesthetics of the mid/late 19th century in America. This being before they just started to paint everything black to not have to wash these things daily.
Is Tirana when Albania was under communism the dream /o/ city?>cars are banned>everyone has to take public transportation>lots of parks and shit>roads are aimed for bikesSo why doesn’t /o/ talk about Tirana that much?
>>2007444I mean /n/, not /o/. Wrong board name
Because nu-/n/ is only able to discuss the contents of real estate industry press releases concerning kansas city or houston (if you disagree with me you are a cagetroll nimby boomer)
>>2007444It’s at least partly because people on this board don’t talk about policy, we just fantasize about our personal dreams coming true. Also there’s not much consensus on the role of the state in urban planning and infrastructure here since opinions range from everything should be centrally planned to wanting every city to be Houston but with more trains. Finally most people on 4chan are already from Can-merica so there’s overall a fear of communism paired with general lack of interest in other countries
>>2007452>>2007889I miss the old /n/ where we had threads that were several years old with people actually talking about modes of transport rather than urban planning politics.
>>2007444>cars are bannedWhichever bureaucrat put this measure in place is a genius. People won't notice the state was in no way able to keep up with the demand for private automobiles if they don't look into buying a car.Also says a lot about what the people want when nowadays every man, woman and child in Albania drives a Benz.

>>1982625describe, in specific terms, the "years worth of empirical evidence". evidence of what, exactly? most of the time when you see someone saying something along the lines of the frame "doesn't matter" what they mean is that factors like the angles, the tire pressure, and the physical preferences/limitations of the cyclist, are going to render any difference between carbon layup or brand of triple-butted meme steel insignificant. and all of that is true.so what exactly are you trying to argue here?
