Not polished yet: https://close.city/https://vxtwitter.com/NatMakesMaps/status/1776259750310912335It's an interactive map to show the best places for transportation and walkability. The default is Grocery + Library which makes the map really really narrowly defined and there's no real way to weight the options, so I recommend disabling Library and/or using just one at a time. But it does an incredible job of highlighting walkability and would make a great tool for deciding where to develop or move
>>1990219The far left hates cars. They want to get rid of the word private. Cars? Use the bus. Housing? Here’s a pod sized room with shared facilities. All in the name of efficiency and “fairness”. They want us living packed up like bees in a hive, a totally unnatural and unhealthy way to live. A reasonable man would conclude that a mix of sense urban accommodation and less sense housing on the outskirts is the way forward but these chumps only think in terms of surviving on what you “need” only, which funnily enough drives up profits for developers who can make far more money off sell/rent larger numbers of smaller apartments for far more than they can ever hope to get from larger family sized offerings. It’s an utter charade.
>>1990410>where do kids go to study these days?Either at the uni itself or at home/dormDefinitely not at the public library lmaoFrom what I've seen, public libraries are used almost exclusively by very old women and street children who don't have a computer at home.

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.
Well that's it for the photos. Unfortunately I only had time to stay on the ship for one full day due to late arrival/early departure but I think I made the most of it.It's been a fun 10 months. If anyone else has been to the Queen Mary or just wants to post about ocean liners in general, feel free to do so, otherwise I'll just let this thread die.

I'd like to buy whoever invented the thru-axle a beer. It's a fantastic invention and I have no idea how it manages to be so good. It makes replacing a wheel so much nicer than fucking qr skewers.

anoyone know where i can find a new headrest for my M-009 tadpole that doesn't cost $90?
>>1992291>>1992209>>1992218>Actually a couple months ago I did some airflow simulations, the result was that my design is shit.Pic related. I went with forward slanted windshield. Also on the side the top is slanted outwards. To protect against the sun. At the front the window is bigger for better visibility. Enclosed wheels. The whole velo is quite high, because the hottest air is always at the top and there is also where the head is, so I tried to give more headroom. But extra height is not good for aerodynamics. Forward slanted window also not good. Mainly I think, because of high sides, so the air doesn't have anywhere to go. But I need these high sides because of the riders shoulders and also the wheels. I was also trying with different angles at the back (kammback style). For my surprise the sharp transition from main body to the angle gave better results than smooth (fillet) one. Aerodynamics is though.
>>1992362Design issues I see right off the bat.>Large profile: will act as a sail in crosswinds>Large windows: adds a lot of weight if using a hard material or very scratch prone if using something lighter and weaker. Will need to be replaced, which will be expensive and a PITA.> Condensation: the thermal difference between inside and outside will condensate the air on the window. Unless you have some kind of holes or fan that blows air into it.Current commercial velos (Bulk, snoek, and the likes) the the way they are because of a reason, and your velo defies all of that. If you go for style rather than efficient you'd still have to solve the issues I greentexted. Wishing you good luck.What software is that btw?
>>1992685>Large profile: will act as a sail in crosswindsSome say that can help go faster, sailing like a sail boat. I assume it might work in steady winds, but in sharp abrupt winds seems to be more trouble. Otherwise I agree with all you said. That all was my concern, but I was playing around with forward slanted window design and I ended with this shape. if it would prove to be good aerodynamically, I might compromise on other stuff, but it is not.Also it's impossible to see any traffic lights, because you can't see above eyelevel.That is why I have abandoned that design. It is no good on any aspect. I thought of it, I tried it. In a trash it goes. Next one will be more slim and compact. And small window. I still want to make it forward slanted though.I've got some new ideas, I'll see how it goes.Software is solidworks.

>>1990364can confirm, I thought 3 big wheels looked cool to start on and I live in an area surrounded by hills, no bueno. You pick up to mortal speed pretty quickly so learning to stop and build leg strength right away was a big challenge. Also tore my TCFF in my wrist because I forgot about guards. I think wrist guards are a great safety net for inexperience in hindsight.tldr; 4 wheels probably less fast and more manoeuvrable
pickrel: 3x100 k2 lt triosI have worn them to piecesI also have a 4x110 k2 marathons but they are to stable for me. very fast though.I'm looking at getting some 3x125, probably powerslide. but The fr skates do look good.
>>1992107>tldr; 4 wheels probably less fast and more manoeuvrableI think it's the other way around, 4 wheels gives high speed stability at the expense of low speed agility. 3 big wheel skates pick up speed faster and have better turning agility at the expense of stability. This is of course a generalization, what's more important than wheel count is wheel size and skate length, however, number of wheels do heavily dictate ideal wheel size in a skate's design. Bigger wheels give a smoother ride but brings CoG higher off the ground resulting to less stability and more agility, opposite for smaller wheels. Those 3 factors are like a bike's geometry and heavily influence how a skate feels. I'm not an expert in the subject (am a bikeboy) but I'm familiar, interested, and I do intend to buy my own set of skates soon enough
/xs/ has a roller blading thread, /rag/, that is sorta active. The newfag buy question is fairly common there, I'd recommend lurking through it if you want to get some reviews.

My maglev proposal for China.What do you think?
nah too expensive
I legitimately do not understand the preoccupation some people on this board have with chinese maglev, waco to branson maglev, ougadougou to bujumburi maglev, or any other such irrelevant speculations, and it makes me think the "chang" shitposter might be on to something. Literally what is so boring about the NEC, western europe, taiwan, peninsular malaysia, or japan, that makes these other (irrelevant) places so worthy of your attention? Other than the fact that you see them as probable future colonies for the CCB-Tencent corporation's future workforce, but if that were the case you'd be targeting Taiwan too so it just doesn't make any sense
I don't understand the appeal, especially when they already have an impressive HSR network. The benefits of maglev compared against HSR are very minimal. Maglev pretty much exists as gadgetporn.
narrower and higher pressure tire IS faster
>>1959144post saucesas far as i know there is no hard evidence only speculation based on ideal conditionsin the real world based on actual experience it seems to not be truefat tyres dont seem to roll any worse to me and in not ideal conditions (the real world) fatter tyres roll faster
>>1988360It's obviously a 110 and 140. Nobody makes 150/55.That's still a relatively wide tire, thoughever, a much lighter prototype racing bike of that displacement uses a 90 or 100 front and a 115 or 120 rear.
>>1959054If you only ride on smooth glass, sure.
>>1959054My favorite feeling is when my tire pressure is dialed in just right and the tire deflection under cornering rebounds so predictably, I love it. It has a weird feeling of being soft and firm at the same time, it's kind of like that feeling of a really good pencil eraser
>>1990337This approximately the same reason why I'm slower with clipless than with pinned flats. It's a confidence issue.
The science is in, rim brakes are and always have been superior to disk brakes in every metric, weight, stopping power, aerodynamics.The ONLY exception, and there are caveats even to that, is on carbon rims, which are gay.Watch the first part to see the sciencey bit about how the industry lied about disks to force consoomers into buying cheaper to manufacture disk brakes for more moneyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3P4IIWsaS5Itfw when they pushed disk brakes in order to usher in a world where everyone would be proud to pay over the odds to ride bikes made of chinese plastic, including fragile plastic rims that cannot withstand the forces of rim braking without exploding in a catastrophic fashion.
You're just a contrarian who wants something to argue about. Wrong. Not true. Don't care about your gay eceleb. Also you're gay and wear lycra.
This video is literally an advertisement for their product. Everything they said about disc breaks is true but they only really mentioned it in regards to aero TT/Tri bikes. Yes there's no reason for dick brakes if you just was a fast aero light bike.All other use cases are unmentioned because, surprise surprise the dick breaks offers a better compromise for more people. Sorry to all the rim brake fags out there but it's not like you can't still go out and get a nice used rim brake bike
What the fuck is this rim brakes vs disk brakes meme, I don't use /n/ often but I see it all the time, I've had bikes with both systems and they're both fine, what's all the reeing about.
