Anyone else feels like absolute shit after crashing? it's not even the pain of it it's just the faith in your ability slowly dying inside. When I was younger it was whatever but now it feels like someone chipped away a chunk of confidence.
>>2069433He's look pretty fit here for an 80 year old, why didn't we pick him?
>>2074065A novice would have crashed no matter what if it was a slippery enough surface and he did something dumb like hit a crack at a 45 degree angle
>>2064175all my 2025 crashes were within 300 feet of my house. I've heard similar stats for cars.
>>2071367kwab
>>2074065I didn't >imply any of that :^(I'm not gonna pretend I know how to do anything other than lube my chain and adjust my seat and for the record, I like disc brakes way more than pads. My mind was blown when I got a bike with disc brakes, I like the idea of keeping the brakes going just by adjusting the wire.
Would you fly in an airliner with no windows?
>>2077057fly explodey airlines, our fleet of exciting Tu-22M3 converted bombers specifically designed for passengers with a death wishrecent Tu-22M crashhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dDtXUzwuZETu-ssM breaks up on landinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSvE7LFJ-UA
>>2077060I flew on an airbus A380 in 2014 which had a camera mounted on the top of the tail facing forward, you could dial into the camera on the back of seat video screen, along with a graphic of the position of the plane on a globalmap.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPiNXPOaerI
yeah i just sleep on flights so i wouldnt be too bothered.>>2077060>pulling people out of windows after a crashthey do not do this. those windows are designed to survive crashes to keep the plane intact and exterior debris from entering the cabin.
>>2077060>pulling people out of windows after a crashmaybe if they're small children, otherwise no
>>2077064When I flew on Emirates, they had that but they'd turn it off below a certain altitude, which was a bit disappointing because I wanted to watch our landing.
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.
>>2043281>Battleship USS Iowa which is also at the port of Long BeachIt's on the LA side in San Pedro. I live in the area. Never been aboard it. Don't really care about it. I was working on the docks the day they towed her in though. pic related.The USS Abe Lincoln came here in like 2007 and that was pretty cool to go aboard. We got to stand on the platform that lifts the jets up to the deck.
>tfw bored and upon up a 3 year old thread where the OP posts pictures of a place that I WAS LITERALLY AT ON THAT EXACT DAYwhat a fucking small world...
Are there any mega oldfags who traveled by ocean liner during the final days of non-ceremonial service? Late 50s or early 60s? Maybe as a child on a vacation?
>>2077228you can't even passenger your way across the atlantic anymore on boat? it just has to be plane?
>>2077284You can but it's like once a month sailings and only between New York and *ngl*nd. You can't go anywhere worthwhile like Marseille or Cadiz, just knifecrime island where you will be immediately arrested for failure to register your phone as an illegal television simulator
Why is /n/ in general so much more friendly and cordial than other boards?
>>2073839hope he sees this bro
>>2047065Imagine being a low IQ normgroid that doesn't enjoy bicycles, planes, trains, ships, cars and any form of transportation"pick one side only!!!!" cucks are brain damaged
>>2073849But that post doesn't say one side only, why are you trying to create conflict where none exists
>>2073844And once more.
>>2073923really hope he sees this. then you can be agreeable together.

How do we prevent $3M+ LRT ouchies like this?
>>2074410maybe just accept the fact that LRT sucks ass and don't put it down the middle of a busy road. all transit should be grade separated, and if your government/municipality won't do that for you it's because they're wasting your money on bullshit instead.
>>2076763That road has very little traffic.t. been there
>>2076759?Did you check the intersection on streetview? Theres no lefts or u turns allowed, its a single lane road
https://youtube.com/shorts/cU6KzpnMIHow would a k turn get him out of it?
>>2074415Does it have rubber wheels or does it run on a metal track?
Gonna go on a trip to Bulgaria, I want to see their cursed looking steam locos and aging fleet.
>>2073432there's one of that kind in Minsk, capital of Belarus - a children's railway in a large park, "fully operated by teenagers"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children's_Railroad_(Minsk)
>>2073155We have a 2-12-4 tank engine, we also have some german style locos. I've never seen a working steam engine irl because they don't run them often here in bulgaria, well at least not on the mainline, there probably are some tourist railways that regularly run steam locos but I don't have any means of transportation so I haven't been to them.

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?
>>2077271to cater to an audience that doesn't exist anymore? No thankst. campy group owner
>>2077276Yea, that's why the silver GRX sold out in minutes. People absolutely still want shiny stuff. Just because you're a dweeb doesn't mean everyone else is.
>>2077277they made like 5 of them>People absolutely still want shiny stuffPeople still claim they want performance mech shifting and rim brakes but when campagnolo ditched EPS on record and chorus 12s and still offered rim brakes it almost killed the company.
>>2077269CF as a status symbol was still a thing 10 years ago but everyone has settled down. If it's still being used as a sign of prestige by companies like Time to show they have a unique layup it's clearly not going away any more than exposed welds or lugged frames are going away. But I realize I'm on /n/ where everyone seems to still think dick breaks are a controversial new technology and carbon has mysterious properties that no one understands, so I am not surprised that there are people who are afraid of an exposed weave because it's "tryhard".
>>2077282I worked in composites for years. I don't see where I mentioned fear. I said it's not to my taste.
What is the intent behind statements like "I'm not a cyclist, I'm just a person who gets around by bike"?At a surface level it is obviously meant to (proverbially) throw other cyclists under the bus, but to what end? Would it somehow appease the anti-bike people if the person "blocking traffic" didn't agree to be referred to by the word "cyclist"?
>>2077229you gotta leave something to the imagination, it makes it sexier actually
>>2077229Chaffing, but I thought that's only for marathon runners. Your nips will literally bleed.
>>2077189They have separate bike roads, tho
>>2077231Didn't know that was a thing. It's pretty sad how people who aren't physically active manage to find reasons to resent people who are and try to make it out to be a bad thing to have an activity they enjoy that gets them outside and having fun.
>>2000001It's just to separate yourself from the wannabe lances. You don't have to wear lycra to have fun or get around.
I have been on this site for 10 years and I only noticed this board today. Since I'm already here, I'd like to ask a question:Why are train autists so much more hated than other autist brands?
>>2069952Because it was literally brand new inside of the factory.
>>2069954but the type of train it is looks like they don't make it anymore
>>2072462It's a GEVO. They're still widely built all around the world.
>>2072472Gesundheit
>>2057954Part crazy, part envy.If I hit up the museum catalog of photos, the best ones are always of trains or railroads. Some irrelevant track bend has more photos than royal castles. Train autism became photo autism.

How in the fuck are they pulling this shit off? These commies are making us look like clowns! What is the reason for this?!
>>2035263I was supposed to take the Amtrak from penn station to Albany to go back to college the day it flipped on it's side and few people died. without looking it up it was the sunday after thanksgiving in 2012. I took an adirondack trailways bus instead and played Civ 5 on my laptop the whole way up
>>2073935alright I'm wrong it was a metro north train but they use the same tracks and it was when I was coming home from spring break in 2013 https://mx-schroeder.medium.com/dazed-debacle-the-2013-spuyten-duyvil-usa-derailment-3c2c67421928

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?
>>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
>>2071626The only reason anyone went to see it was because it was christina ricci as a nympho getting chained up by a large black man

>>2061283Anything crashworthy?
>>2061283Aren't these unsafe? You're sitting right on top of a tank of flammable liquid.
>>2076853They use them in spider web, pre car roads not wider than a car, so you can only go 20mph.
>>2076857That's way too fast. What stops them from running over a grandmother at that speed?
>>2076857i frequently ride mine 60 even upto 80 kph
