They're scheduled to blow whistles at around 7am (like 15 mins)
Beautiful thread, OP
>>2064815Mad respect boat bro.
very nice, do you have recording of the blowing?
>>2066601my bad, I see it now >>2064820
What's the closest thing like this i can get to on the east coast?
For when you want to fall over in front of a crowd without getting drunk first
>>2066607Wahoo, for example, and certain apparel companies, sponsor influencers to get together and show off the latest bike related goods, and just generally look like they're the photogenic friend group that has fun while being cool and energetic (but in a laid back way where you can imagine you're there, being part of a group of cool people with nice stuff)
>>2066609Not the kind of videos he's talking about tho.
Has anyone gone from speedplay to single sided? My speedplays are about at end of life and it seems like they revamped the whole product line. I want something that "just werks" and I was thinking just going for boring SPD-SL, will I regret this? I always laugh at the clowns on SPD-SL taking forever to clip in at the green light
>>2068044i just wear normal ass shoes and use friction to keep me attached to my pedal. then when i need to remove my foot from the pedal i simply move my leg
>>2043375Those are for homos
Why are females harassed on public transportation? No incel answers please
>>2067597This was the actual experience of Norah Vincent, author of Self Made Man. She made herself over as a man and thought she’d be swaggering around NYC like a character in a Scorsese movie, and instead found themself utterly invisible as a slightly built unattractive male. She later offed herself.
>>2067600Luckily for women every, this daffy old creep's just not into real women.

It is said that if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Are you one of the good ones, /n/? Do people say you're not like those other cyclists?
i dont wear spandex. i dont use clip shoes. i pretty much only ride alone so im not in a group taking up road. i only road bike, exclusively to commute, usually with pannier bags on to carry stuff. i dont have a hate of drivers or cars in general. i dont have tattoos or have much to say about "bicycling culture". i just ride my bike for almost everything because im too autistic to drive a car. i would like to think that im one of the "good ones", or at least, not one of the assholes who make people hate bicyclists.
>>2067987more or less the same. I don't hate cars generally because people are trapped in a culture that revolves around them and pushes them on people. I like neat old cars that look cool and that car guys can work on and maintain themselves. but they are pollution machines that depend on foreign wars to fuel and infra that literally destroys communities and cuts off foot traffic from either side, literally forcing you to use a car to get around even places that are only 20 meters apart. so in that sense, I hate cars. and the drivers that threaten my life. but apart from philosophical stuff, most drivers are fine, I go about my business and they do to and it's not anything I focus on in general.everything else you wrote applies to me. I don't participate in "cycling culture" which is just a manufactured culture designed to sell you stuff. I was a messenger in the 2000s and there was a comradery and sort of a culture there, it wasn't anything more than "we all ride different stuff and use different gear but we're out here 9-5 Monday to Friday and we see each other on Peachtree and certain offices all the time."
>>2068057>most drivers are finei have encountered very few cars on the road that don't immediately pull a dangerous, illegal, and generally boneheaded maneuver. most average car commuters are fucking terrible at actually driving and should never have gotten their licensemost places are making it harder* to get a license now because there are so many dogshit drivers on the road (and they are collectively aging and going blind/deaf/stupid as their bodies turn to mush) that the only means left to reduce accidents is to reduce the number of cars on the road at all. *unless you're indian, in which case here's your free Class 1 with Airbrakes>>2028137there's a reason people say "if you want to get away with murder, use a car"cagies that kill pedestrians only even face court like 5% of the time, and something like half of them who have been identified (so excluding hit n runs where prosecution is impossible because you don't even know whodunnit) don't even receive a fine
>>2068079I don't dispute your post but I would be interested in your sources so I can use them. I know the CDC lists cars as the number one killer in the US that isn't disease (neck and neck with firearms, anyway, and that's only because new safety features in cars made crashes slightly more survivable, allowing guns to finally edge them out), but that's all I got
>>2028005it's called a wet dream.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWQ3iLVr-0E>That cylinder is a mass dampener also known as a J dampener in physics.The purpose is to neutralize high frequency low amplitude oscillations.Mass dampeners are currently used in Moto GP and were banned in F1 in the mid 2000s.The mass dampener can also be placed on the fork,above the bottom bracket and as shown on the rear swing arm/triangle on a full suspension bike.have these been used on road bikes yet? i have a stiff track bike fixie, anything that could improve performance or comfort would interest me. i haven't paid attention to bike stuff lately so idk if it has been mentioned on GCN/GMBN yet. GCN has done a lot of videos on tire pressure so i could see them experimenting with tuned mass dampers.
>>2043618Agreed
>>2019204A good saddle and bigger tires is all you need, get a b17 and 32s or 35s. But you deserve to suffer if you are riding a track bike on the streets.
>>2060905>yes, you literally posted a picture of such.that is not a road bike.
>>2045216That doesn't look very comfortable
>>2045216that rear fork looks actively unsafe

Hey /n/, what strategies do you use to mitigate ass pain and skin health? I only experience deep muscular soreness on very long rides, but as I get older my skin is getting irritated more often. Painful red bumps crop up and ruin the ride. I hit them with neosporin and cover with a bandage, which works, but I want to prevent them in the first place. I always ride with a clean ass and clean undies, but now those padded cycling shorts are suddenly making more sense. I might even pick up some chamois cream even though the idea always seemed gross to me.Anyway, how bout you? Is your ass chapped like mine? Tips from ass masters would be appreciated.
>>2063151Be careful to specify woman, otherwise you might be gay
>>2063281did he die?
>tfw you’ll never have a bike riding gf whose bike seat you can sniff after you two go on a hot sweaty bike ride together, then fetch her sweaty bike shorts out of the laundry to wrap on your face to jerk off with while she showers
>>2065227Trust me, you don't want that
Sometimes it is possible for a saddle to be too hard, though
The EMUs are out of service. Post your pics here of Queensland Rail service- double imaginary bullshit points for rural/discontinued services
>>2049223It is funny though
>>2058560That's just a Sydney thing.Which isn't in Queensland.>>2060233Because rail was laid before federation.They actually did consider making it all the same gauge. But some Scottish wanker in NSW wanted to use the Scottish gauge over the agreed upon Irish gauge.So Victoria and SA had Irish gauge.Other states were just being cheap or something and so they did narrow gauge.
>>2049223?
>>2060233what border, australia's borders are called beaches
>>2066588nah they have a maritime border with timor-leste
Ocean liner fans rejoice! The Queen Mary reopened for hotel guests in May and in June, I had the privilege of spending two nights on board. I'll be uploading my album of the ship over the next few days and discussing the history of the ship that I learned while onboard.

>>2064012im looking through it right now thank yousurprised the thread is still up, just came here to bitch about aviation desu
>>2026834>mad about free money Why is it a dead industry?
Now that wider tires on road bikes are the default and you can barely even find a rim brake bike for sale anymore (other than at the antique store), how long before Big Cycling realizes there's no more upgrades to sell and if they want to continue selling bikes now they have to promote thin, high pressure tires and turn of the century frames as an improvement (complete with convincing-looking data presented by convincing-sounding "engineers")
I've never in my life had problems w rim breaks when conditions are wet but I'm not a faggot driving two states away to a mountain range where I only ever do the descents
>>2065873TPBP
>>2066701Being a flatlander must be absolute hell if this is the kind of cope you have to tell yourself, no wonder you guys are so bitter that you spend all this time on internet bike communities telling people that gear ranges and good brakes are useless
>>2065873I think dropper posts on road bikes are already a thing for certain races
>>2065872Shut the fuck up disc cuck>>2066379>Dual pivot calipers were already technically perfect, as we're 1" steerer tubes. Road bikes have been engineered into homercar abominations of road and mtb tech.Truth>>2066584>Hydraulically-actuated slotted disc brakes are more powerful, more easily modulated, more easily cooled, and more reliable, than any rim brakes.That's fucking hilarious. You are an idiot.
The fundamental problem of any form of public transportation is the other people you're unfortunate enough to be forced to spend time with. Prove me wrong.Pic related
>>2066317If the random people you'll never see again live in your head rent free, that's your problem.Also, you missed the point of the movie.
It’s so frustrating using it to see why people have to act like how they do. It’s so easy to just go on sit down quietly and get off where you’re going. Why do these people have to act like assholes? Playing their loud music, talking loudly on the phone, eating, doing other things disrupt people.
>>2067965I take the bus and while I haven't NEVER encountered this, it's pretty rare
>>2066408>they're carrying a load...let's be real here, you can't carry lots of stuff on the bus. maybe like two of the standard 20L "reusable" shopping bags plus a backpack, MAX. the same shit fits in panniers on a bike
>>2067973I agree, depending on what time you ride. If you only ride during heavy work comute hours, it's usually fine. But still, in general these types of situations are why people dislike public transit.
I see you all are intimidated by my obvious superiority
>>2066217Ooooh that's making me mad thinking about it, pics?
>>2066083>no triangle frameanyway here's something that's not for toddlers
>>2066262no because i aint doxxing myself also the most egregious bits from the previous owner have already been rectified
>>2061283They make anything crash worthy?
>>2067923What does that mean? I don’t want to crash my Vespa
All Canadian made aircraft have been decertified in the US.
>>2064681Daily reminder the CBC actually staged a hospital room with dummies (the fake, not alive kind) on ventilators as performance for cuckdeau's coronavirus propaganda.These are absolutely evil people who will all hang on the day of the rope.>>2064729None. All cucknadian media is paid for by the government (by law), and anyone not on the payroll is shut down as "misinformation". But somehow, I think you actually like it that way.As a former Canadian federal worker wrongfully dismissed for not wanting to take a experimental drug for trendy pretense, I finally escaped to the US (now green card holder) and has never looked back.
>>2064499>why cant have all good, instead of all badIm just so astonished to be agreeing with the canadian government on anything today......
>>2064644How is saying everyone is corrupt "sucking boot"? Its almost like actual boot suckers deflecting have made this term a badge of honor from them....
>>2064529Thin slicing is best.
>>2064551Just like he has Obongo's laughter at the 2011 correspondent dinner constantly ringing in his ears. The idea than an uppity nigger made fun of him once is the main thing which drives his actions.
Why does a graffitied train have to be taken out of circulation immediately? How much does it cost in your country to clean up one graffiti piece? In Finland, the average cleanup cost is 600-700ish.
>>2065321Amen. Consider they have tractor trailer washes too...that fucking train should be GLEAMING like the savor or society it is. Keep my train nice with my taxes. Job one.>>2065347>doesnt know anything about soda blastingI didnt say SAND, sir. Collect pits are standard even for car washes. And like anything the more you do it the cheaper it gets, per unit. And it has to work. The energy crisis is a death pact.
>>2065321>why they dont have drive-thru car washes but for trainsBruh
In Bucharest, Romania, they dont bother to clean the old metros since they will be phased out anway. Its nice going with them while we still have them
they should just paint over the graffiti every few weeks like how they blob more paint onto warships to cover the rust. eventually, the train will be more paint than metal and will thus be impervious to all damage spiritual or physical>>2066466god i wish that were me.
>>2066480I remember one fighter jet that had 500 pounds of paint.
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.
>>2054600I think that is a former automat car.
