When did cargo bikes go from being a crusty, get-it-done, no-nonsense niche improvised delivery tool for reasonable humans, to being the single most punchable conspicuous consumption fashion accessory in the history of wheels?
Also, cargo bikes hate thread, and yes I took my meds thanks for the reminder though

They're efficient, pleasant to ride in and far cheaper than a tram network to set up or maintain. With new and improved battery technology, flexibility can be maximised and disruption mitigated.
Their hill-climbing ability is unmatched by the majority of public transit modes. Acceleration is better than diesel buses and energy from braking can be recovered.
With all the net-zero, carbon neutral initiatives, surely transit agencies should be clamouring for them?

>tfw after two years and ~6,500 miles on it, it's time to replace my rear gatorskin because I've gotten two flats from tiny shards of metal within the past week
Quick flats from minor shit is always my sign that it's time to retire it, it's also peeling in a few spots. I have rotated it before this, last May.
I know you guys meme them here, but I've only used GS on my bike, these were my 6th set. I was going to try the Continental 4 Seasons because I heard it has a nicer ride than GS for not too much worse flat prevention, but a seller on Amazon was selling a GS pair like new in packaging for $68 so I couldn't pass it up. This is my only bike for everything that I use almost exclusively for commuting and transportation
also never come to deep south US, it's shit. best food inna world but worst everything else.
I'm going to start filming content on my bicycle/while walking.
Most of it will be done at night time in a big city, in POV.
I'm not sure which camera to pick that would be :
1) bang for the buck(under $200 ideally, would go as high as $300)
2) wearable and discreet enough to film interactions and keep them natural
3) decent battery life(at the very very very least, 5 hours)
4) decent video quality
5) still able to operate with relatively low light (not extreme darkness per se, moreso like 10 PM in a urban area)
Any suggestions?

of course, it would only make sense for extremely popular flight routes that could actually fill the plane. there would also be increased demand due to the low cost
imagine it had a similar size footprint to a 747. how much would it cost to go between los angeles and san francisco? $20?

Western brands were folding right and left before the iron curtain 2.0 was raised, now the "tiro de gracia" has been fired and big companies like Trek are going to go bankrupt because their supply chains have been cut off by Import Substitution Industrialization, a popular third world development tactic pioneered by visionaries like Pinochet and Galtieri.
Is this the end of the western bike era? Will tomorrow's dentists settle for nothing less than Chinese bikes on 100% Chinese groupsets?

>bypass roadways outside the cities
The concept can be perfectly scaled and adapted, obviously not something like long-distance trains in the US or dumb ideas like that, but everything in the scale of regular ground transportation, from the local bus up to HSR which would just have to be added on top of the intercity services.
Honestly, all other countries are barely even trying at best, like Japan with its terrible public transit outside the urban areas and closing down rural rail lines.
If the pilot's job was to kill a specific target on the flight, it would have been incredibly easy to cause an aerodynamic stall and crash the aircraft into the ocean. He could have even pitched the aircraft into the Indian ocean after leaving radar range, yet WISPR data shows the aircraft flew for over 7 hours until it was ditched in an incredibly remote location.
The question which should be asked is what or who on board the flight to Beijing needed to disappear (and also be completely un-investigatable) why was a regular crash not sufficient to accomplish this goal, and who benefits from an unrecoverable aircraft accident?
1. Acquire all of the surviving rolling stock (sleepers, dining cars, dome/observation cars, baggage cars, etc.) from the original consist from private owners, heritage railways, and museums, as well as matching surviving locomotives (can be from ones different railroads since thousands of functionally and aesthetically identical EMD F and E units were sold to all Class I railroads). Renovate them as necessary to make them FRA-compliant, obtain waivers wherever possible. Put them into service as a part-luxury train, part-mobile museum.
2. Commission the construction of a replica consist. Building entirely new streamlined cars from scratch, designed to match the internal and external appearance of its original as much as possible, with changes only being made when it's literally required to make the car FRA-compliant/modern user friendly (updated wiring, HEP, power outlets at seats, WiFi support, replacing wooden paneling with MDF paneling etc.). Motive power consists of custom-built Siemens Chargers designed to resemble the original E and F units (streamlining, bulldog noses, matching paint schemes, etc.) as much as legally possible.

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.

Anything public transport in German-speaking Europe is fair game.
If steel is so great, why do the finest steel bikes in the world use carbon forks?
It seems to me that steel has an aesthetic value that cannot be substituted by anything else, but as a material for building bikes, its value decreases the more that is demanded of a component.

I think its a perfect way to deal with traffic in big cities. The cars are not discriminated against and just have to deal with slower speeds.

I have already been to local bike shops, their cheapest bikes are 900-1500 and are skinny specialized or treks, probably not even what I want anyway.
Don’t get me started on the cheapest Surlys or Salsas on FB marketplace being 1700. So anyway, the ridge. Good or shit? I cannot afford to spend more than 500 Freedom Dollars on a bike. I will be living off it shortly and want to make sure it’s durable and can handle at least a 50 pound load plus my 210 pound ass. Is the Ozark Trail Ridge M2 or the G1 Explorer good for this?
Yes I know >Walmart but they’re both in my budget and at least not huffy or mongoose, and the youtubers like them.

Old Thread: >>2014518
I can totally understand someone panicking under those circumstances, and also understand she was injured and otherwise traumatised by the water landing. Nobody would go that hard on her if she forgot her training and didn't look through the window before cracking the door.
What I can't abide is the possibility this bitch lied about checking for water as per her training, then "some passenger" pushing past her and cracking the door, along with some heroic story of fighting them off to try to close it again. There were witnesses who claimed otherwise:
>No [attorney Frank Scudere] said, he and others saw the flight attendant open the rear door. "Nobody was there to rush past her to open the door. I saw her back turned, and she was opening the door, and she said, 'Oh my God, we're in water!' I don't want to be critical. She hadn't gotten any warning that we'd be landing in the water. I just want to set the record straight."
More accurately I can't abide the apparent lack of curiosity about the fucking truth. Sure the NTSB did their investigation, but as far as I can tell they didn't conclude anything about the identity of the 'some passenger', or whether Doreen lied. Just giving some waffle praising the crew in general and basically saying all's well that ends well.
This is from an organisation the will dredge up literally a million parts from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean and reassemble them in a hanger to find which $2 bolt failed. But we're not interested if your stewardess is going to freak out when it counts, endanger everyone on board, and then lie about it? Not worried that even a female 'some passenger' could overpower them and open the door?

>Metro/Subway (dense, high-capacity urban service)
>Suburban/Regional Rail (extremely high-capacity, long-distance service)
>Light Rail/Tram (medium to low-capacity, local service)
Or is it more efficient to adopt a more streamlined approach—for example, a high-capacity S-Bahn-style suburban-regional system like Berlin’s, paired with a hybrid Stadtbahn system like in Karlsruhe or Stuttgart, which blends elements of metro and tram?
It seems like running all three separate systems leads to higher costs and complexity—different rolling stock, infrastructure standards, control systems, and agencies. Wouldn’t a well-integrated two-mode setup be more cost-effective and easier to manage?
No, Titanic II doesn’t count, be serious.

Also discuss wheels and stuff
Why are the controls on the back half of my goddamn brakes? Brakes should just be brakes.
Why is there a setting for my pedaling to get even harder? Who wants this. Why isn’t there a little spinny dial like when I was a kid on a bike, it should just say 1 2 3 4 5 6 and then I’d know, higher numbers for hills low numbers for normal.
But wtf is this? Why 30 different gears? Why does the left work for the front and right for back, but you can’t swap them both at the same time? I watched like 4 youtube videos and still don’t get it.
Worst of all I can’t pedal backwards

If you're unfamiliar with train travel, take a look at National Rail's journey planner, at nationalrail.co.uk/ - tell it where you're travelling from and to, and it'll show you a few options before handing you over to a train company so you can buy a ticket. For the same journey, they'll all charge the same price, so it doesn't matter who you buy one from. The best option for overseas visitors would be to use thetrainline.com/ - it'll support your language and payment card.

I 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 optimally
I 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?

What kind of transportation would be feasible on this island? I imagined the country as a British colony settled in the early 18th century and gaining its independence after WWII. The population is around 1.8 million, though the overwhelming majority live in the twin cities of Kingsport and Arkham. The interior of the main island is sparsely populated and mountainous, with a few dormant volcanoes.
I'm trying to imagine the rail lines connecting all the cities on the south coast, and the ferry system between Kingsport and Arkham.

>the railroad has a checkered history, with periodic disruptions in service to rockslides, storms, fires, and derailments, and has never been profitable
>the line ceased being used in its entirety decades ago and has been bounced around by owner to owner ever since
>at present, only a fraction of the line in San Diego, Mexico, and Campo is actively used, with the rest being left to decay
Here's my questions:
1. Were the "Impossible Railroad's" issues inherent to the climate and terrain, or more so the technological/economic limitations at the time of its construction (the railroad was built with anachronistic infrastructure such as wooden trestles)?
2. If funding could secured, would it be possible to rehabilitate or even rebuild the line in its entirety using modern engineering techniques to negate the hazards that plagued its previous incarnations?
3. What services could be provided to make the line economical, or even turn an actual profit? Obviously there's tourism, Carrizo Gorge attracts thousands of tourists a year (many of whom come to gawk at the ruins of the railway). I recently found out that the Mexican portion of the line is used to host the Tijuana-Tecate Tourist Train (pic related, several gallery cars that were originally intended for it but ultimately left unused) and has proven quite popular. But I'm also wondering industries could be served or even if a US-Mexico commuter service would be feasible (ignoring current diplomatic issues)

Once a year or so I like to start this thread, it usually ends up pretty interesting.
Demonic.
I dont care if its some dangerous shithole Im willing to make sacrifices
Imagine if a bunch of politicians started pushing for a special residential area for a certain group, after having them habitually assaulted with weapons for many years. "We're terribly sorry about all the bloodshed but can't guarantee your safety, if you want to be safe, you have to go in this special place we designated for you".
That is what bike lanes are. We've tried "separate but equal". It doesn't work, because tyranny of the majority means a highly flexible definition of "equal".
People who have been riding bikes for many decades know what the game is. But zoomers and corona cyclists believe they know best. Instead of demanding justice, they demand segregation. Which is exactly what the automotive supremacists want.
I'm not a rich man, so I ride old used bikes, and I never have had an issue with these simple machines. I appreciate them for their simplicity and seldom do they need service or adjustment. Friction shifters get called outdated or bad or whatever all the time, if you feel that way, why?
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?
To add accessories to your bike as much as possible, or to keep it as simple as you can, even to the point of removing bottle cages and even brakes in the case of fixies?
What do you think of modern bikes (and specially in "gravel"), the trend towards adding bags, in the handlebars, top tube etc, versus just throwing your shit in a backpack and calling it a day.
I can't say I like the looks of bikes with bags and all, but I do hate the lack of praticality of a bike with nothing on it at all. I dislike saddlebags as much as anyone else but I'll be damned if I ever leave the house without a spare tube.

Now, the prices are going to go up by at least 20%, and the smaller independent brands are going to go under as only the largest players will have the spare cash to ride out the sudden loss of consumer confidence. The most interesting and original bike products will simply disappear from the market permanently until the next wave of prosperity (which may be entirely concentrated somewhere far away and foreign, so that only the wealthiest of your peers will be able to import and use such goods).

I'm pretty much convinced to get another bike for him since this one was cheap, but what kind of bike is this? Why is the geometry so weird?
So let's see. Train from Major City A to Major City B? That will be 17 hours and 4 transfers and oh btw there's no HSR because you're not travelling between Paris and London. And then when you get there there's basically no public transport! You need to learn Al Bhed so you can talk to the local Zastava rental agency and the steering wheel is attached wrong and you need to learn how to use a carburetor and pump gas and there's four pedals (gas, brake, clutch, and prop pitch) and a mixture control lever next to the turn signal, what the FUCK.
Why did /n/ lie to me? Europe is cager hell. I was led to believe the entire continent was spammed with a hyper-efficient grid of fareless, open-gangway maglev subway trains that could whisk me from a tiny fishing village in Denmark to a mountain pass on the Italo-Swiss border in fifteen minutes. I'm a 'merilard I don't have all summer, I get 5 days of vacation and 2 of them are lost flying back and forth, my summer is ruined now.
>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.
Would you like to be on one?
Would you like if they did a comeback?

>“These gently used, lovingly maintained 1985 F40 diesel locomotives could be yours,” the listing states. “The historic locomotives come with 40 years of service, and more than 1,000,000 miles traveled. Perfect for your model train set, train-themed diners, ornamental lawn decor or planter box, unconventional bed n breakfast or just to show up your overly gnomed neighbor’s lawn.”
> When Caltrain completes its electrification project with full service Sept. 21, it will retire most of its diesel fleet. Almost 100 gallery cars will likely be sold to another operator, said Caltrain spokesman Dan Lieberman, and the locomotives are being split up by age.
>Nine newer diesel locomotives will remain in use for the Gilroy service, which isn’t undergoing electrification because Caltrain doesn’t own that portion of the corridor. However, Caltrain has 20 diesel locomotives that have passed their expected retirement dates and will no longer be operational.
>These older trains might be scrapped, Lieberman said, but first, Caltrain wanted to give rail fans the opportunity to bring them home and make something out of them.
>The engine must be disabled and the buyer must cover the costs of storage and transportation, according to the listing. The locomotives will officially go up for auction in October.
