How is HSR supposed to solve climate change when it will supplant only traffic between 100 to 300 miles distance for wealthy passengers for whom an hour or two shaved off regular rail traffic is worth paying double? Would that even reduce any green house gas emissions over air traffic?

>>1283286Paris-Barcelona is 6 hours.
>>1287488Holy shit, I just looked it up and Barcelona-Berlin via Paris can't be done by just a few minutes. The earliest Barcelona-Paris train arrives at 15.53, the latest Paris-Berlin train leaves at 15.49. Also they leave from different stations, so you'd need about half an hour to go from one station to the other. So theoretically it can be done, but in practice there aren't any existing connections that allow for it, except taking an overnight train for one leg of the journey.
I've been making a lot of railway journeys this summer and have just done the Mid Cheshire line which was nice and the Penistone line which was beautiful but not very comfy being stuck in a crowded pacer for almost an hour and a half.Planning to do the Settle > Carlisle line in about two weeks so looking forward to that.Where have my fellow britbongs been lately - made any nice train journeys? Any hidden gems? What about nice/unique stations visited?

Why did car trains die out?
>>1283644I can agree on welders being skilled labor. But not painters.But you don't need that many. You need to do preventive repair on the wagoons, and thats really it. If you don't let it rust and don't let mechanics get destroyed by corrosion and wear: Replacement can be done per budget and at set intervals.So the critic isn't particularly founded in reality, unless the cartrain is poorly ran.
>>1283648If it was this simple and cheap, don't you think it would have been done already?
I remember seeing similar debate in China about the proposed tunnel that link mainland China to the Hainan Island. The link between the island and the mainland is currently served by both car ferries and train ferries, and there are discussions that when they build a tunnel across the strait, should they build a rail-based one and haul cars by using auto trains, or should they build a road-based one and connect passengers across the strait by buses.

Kenetic Energy Storage (KES) Is how you store motion into a flywheel or electrical charge system (See below), for later usage.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GchjFXif_hYObviously it's a bit more difficult to use a flywheel on a bicycle, but a trike on the other hand is very doable.For those who want to understand KES more in depth.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flywheel_energy_storagehttps://www.treehugger.com/bikes/amp/engineering-student-builds-flywheel-energy-recovery-into-bike.html

>>1286296Or the roadisthe stator,?,
Have to chose one of these /n/https://www.cube.eu/en/2019/bikes/trekking/tour/nature/cube-nature-exc-allroad-blackngrey-2019/https://www.stevensbikes.de/2019/index.php?bik_id=97&cou=US&lang=en_USWhich one should I take? I normally do between 30 to 40 km every day, mostly cycling trough asphalt.
>>1286933Sure, but it's still going to function. In most cases a suspension fork comes alongside a bunch of garbage parts and is itself extremely low quality, and if you ride much the bike will just fucking break. That isn't the case here. Sure it's not going to ride great, but atleast it's reliable.
OP here, thanks for all the recommendations. I was incline to have suspension since, while the tracks are mostly OK, I still have to ride trough some bumpy roads where the pavement is not in the best shape. But I see that most anons agree, no suspension.Is it worth saying that I ride with a backpack? Normally just with my lunch, but can happen that I have to bring my laptop to work.Thanks again /n/
Just find literally any used bike in your size with Shimano 105 and drop bars.Ideally you want a "gravel" or "adventure(tm)" bike that will fit 28-32mm tires. For commuting with extra weight that will be the comfiest.
>>1287015>Is it worth saying that I ride with a backpack?that won't make any big difference except make the reason why you want flat bars make a bit more sense now
Ok, I am now down to these two https://www.cube.eu/en/2019/bikes/road/road-cyclocross/sl-road/cube-sl-road-pro-iridiumnred-2019/https://www.cube.eu/en/2019/bikes/trekking/urban/hyde/cube-hyde-blacknyellow-2019/I'm more incline to the first one, I had a run with it and felt really confy. I only see the 20 gears, instead of 27 of the other one, has the biggest difference.
buses dont have seatbelts its a conspiracy to kill the kids
>>1286619Sometimes I've seen a single lap-only belt on the very front right seat. Probably for autistic tards to keep them in place.

Statistically the safest vehicle on the road even without seatbelts. Ask the NHTSA and NTSB

A major issue in the United States is that many cities, their suburbs, and surrounding broader region have little to no public transportation infrastructure.Everyone has to drive everywhere for everything.This consumes vast sums of oil, generating vast sums of CO2, also necessitates a constant demand for more roads+urban sprawl to keep pace with roads becoming congested.Efforts to ameliorate this are very haphazard, in contrast to the roads and other infrastructure public transit planning seems to be left down to the lowest level of planning at the city council/county level.So one area maybe implements a bit of a BRT, another area maybe has a little lightrail, and a third area has some regional locomotive.With no coordination or cooperation.And it may also have to be put to a vote allowing those with vested financial interests in maintaining Oil dependency to fund anti-public transit campaigns via sophisticated libertarian think tanks and fronts.What these cities, their suburbs, and surrounding regions need is a comprehensive public transportation system compromising: Comment too long.
