>>1993464so did DEI exist in the 90s? Because the troubles began with the McDonalds merger, much in the past. The fruit of that misfortune is only bearing out in its entirety now.

How do we stop these from being banned or regulated in america?I don’t think people realize how bad it is. No public transit, no taxis, no bike lanes america is HELL. things like this are necessary. Everything is miles away and there’s not one bit of transportation. For many it’s the only way out of the house at all.
>>1992111Aren't bicycles already illegal in America?It is hard to see the bicycles because some kind of wheeled toy is blocking my view of them.
>>1992439I have a black ops sniper across the street with an infrared scope trained on your position. If you ever post again it will be your fault.
Cyclists are a massive pain if they have a bad attitude and can be a huge source of concern for drivers so I am not really a fan..However the government regulates us enough already so PLEASE no registration for bicycles of any kind, I’d rather deal with reckless Uber Eats riders and entitled cyclists than have yet more state overreach. The problems will resolve themselves in time. I have heard the police have developed some kind of dye they can spray on perps who use E bikes so if they try to run they’ll simply pick them up later on rather than trying to pursue
Why are people ITT acting like IEDs are bicycles? The question is should terrorists who bring these bombs into buildings or onto public transportation be treated as enemy combatants. And the answer is of course yes. The question is what should be in charge of taking out the terrorists. DOJ, DHS, etc.
>>1992111ban rentalsseriously, just ban scooter rentals and all the problems instantly go awaylike, history teaches people nothingevery cager knows that the fastest car is a rental carevery biker knows that the car most likely to kill them is a rental carevery cyclist knows that the guy who bombs the local hill the fastest is not a lycra-clad fred on a roadie but a thrill-seeking kid on a rental grannybikeand the exact same is the case with scoots, except the barrier for entry is even lowerabsolute lunatics ride scoots like they are stolen, and since it takes no effort compared to bikes and cars they push them to their, and society's, limitbut that will never happen because rental scooters are a billion dollar industry, they hold the reigns, so it's either all scooters are banned or none are, the societally beneficial ban on rentals without ban on personal scooters will never pass because corpos will never allow it

How many spare wheels do you keep?
>>1982363>take a room that's 97 sq ft>now imagine that its entire volume is occupied by 26 inch wheels>and that's just the wheel room, most of them dont have tires on>there is another room of the same size that is stacked to the roof with 26 inch tires>>1982399>like 300 wheels on itthats pritty much an annual if not bi annual triphundreds of bikes per year go strait to scrap, maybe about 1/4th of them could be fully restored if you had enough people to fix them, and anyone actually willing to buy and use a bikeid estimate you'd need 10 people and at least 2000 square foot of space so you can organise things and dont have to climb mountains of trash
>>1990590(in nz) scrap steel is about 20c / kg scrap allum is $2 / kg (good prices, often it's half that or less). Rims are around 400 grams The hub shell is maybe another 100 grams. Those are allum. Spokes and the axle parts are steel. So you cut all the spokes and pull the hub apart and you have about $1 of scrap metal. The reason to do it is to acquire cups, cones, straight axles, and spacers to repair or modify other wheels. Having a lot of spacers from junked cassettes is also helpful for SS conversions. Cutting the spokes etc makes storing the scrap neater. And hopefully your metal recycler doesn't notice the steel eyelets on allum rims and say it makes all your allum dirty. Comment too long.

Shin-Osaka - Okayama makes sense too at 24 minutes extra.

Totally random late night thoughtsAt the current known speed of travel throughout space (maybe not max) but at the speed the JSWT (telescope) reached the L2 zone in space. It would take 7291 generations of astronaut to reach some planet they believe has a civilization on it meaning it would take 324.7 Million Kg's of food for the entire journey assuming only 1 breeding pair or humans at any one time (inbred as fuck) 583333.3 years assuming 80 year lifespan which isn't including the 20 year overlap having 4 people on board whilst children are brought up to speed and left at age 20 by their dying parents. They would they be dead because the amount of inbreeding required at those levels would make them so fucking retarded they would forget how to breathe. In closing. Close to 700,000 years worth of life, 389.7 Million Kg of food (including the 20 year overlap) is what would be required to make it to that planetWe aren't making it to any other civlized planets before our finite resources are depleted. Humanity is fucked unless we come leaps and bounds in space travel and shielding technology.

>>1971504The concept of seed ships have been speculated in scifi since the 1960s. Essentially you send autonomous AI ships stocked with human sperm and ovum. The ship wanders the cosmos at "slow" speeds for hundreds or thousands of years until it finds a suitable planet. Then the ship AI inseminates thousands of ovum with the sperm and artificially birth the babies. Robots will become the surrogate parents and educate the children. Once the humans are ready, they will be transported down to the planet. The seed ship then departs to repeat the process elswhere.

What does /n/ think of tomorrow's upgraded, more inclusive bike lanes? Cagetrolls will hate this, but I for one think it is perfectly reasonable for bike lanes to be open to any vehicle that doesn't have an ICE or require a Class A CDL to operate legally. What's the point of bike lanes if nobody is going to use them!??!?

I'm thinking something like picrel could be killer if I could get it to run under the proposed regulations. Imagine the age of DOT private Bikelane highway Kei Cars.Yeah, I'm thinkin' based.

>>1991946>>1991947heh, i live in fl too and have been using some el cheapo sunglasses of unknown origin for years. but ok i was wrong, with the tint it brings non polarized to $32 over $45 for polarized because tinting is included. it's just the lenses themselves that are $16 vs $36. but no uv protection? dunno. i would assume my current ones don't have that either so i guess i probably won't notice a difference.
>>1991944Depends on your environment and riding conditions, I don't have a pair of polarized prescription glasses but I used to have a set of polarized Oakleys that blocked a lot of glare reflecting off car windows and glossy paint on clear high brightness days. It's useful if you're sensitive to glare.
