Space optimization is great and all, but if all the space that’s created is going to be taken up by one or two cars is there really a point? As another anon pointed out all that’s really going to happen is you’ll have less space to park your bike.

I think the comicbook author failed to understand what La Compagnie des glaces was about, and instead leaned on Noahs Ark without understanding that story as well.

Overman King Gainer was unironically a better adaption, and that had the issue of the Mecha/SoL aspects blocking what could have been a really good adaption.

Old bridge was opened in 1957, which is peak socialism era in Norway. It's also downstream which may have been a contributing factor.
>>1944736
There's now talk of reinstating the old bridge to rail duty. If the loading guage fits, it's maybe able to carry today's axle loads at 5-10 km/h, is my guess. Mind you, it was replaced due to the weak superstructure.

How do you guys lock up your bike?

Just started biking recently and only leave my bike at home or whoever's home I'm visiting

Want to start biking to other places were I would leave my bike outside for under an hour. What are secure ways to keep your bike locked up?

I know angle grinders kill everything, nothing can stop a thief yada yada

>change your outreach focus to more accurately represent the population as a whole and you can easily fix the white male problem by changing the demographics of your applicant pipeline
That only works if you force people to select careers in proportion to the demographics. I see it in engineering all the time. Men disproportionately choose to do engineering; I can’t hire women who didn’t choose to do it. Women don’t choose to be boilermakers or roughnecks. They choose nursing and early education. It’s fine that some careers are dominated by people with certain immutable characteristics. It’s not an -ism; it’s just the reality that some characteristics are better suited than others for tasks. I don’t want a pilot to throw up their hands when they see LAND ASAP in red. I want someone who will stop, take a deep breath, and fly the airplane all the way to the crash site.

It's also a way to make the bars usable for bikes that were designed with normal flat bars in mind. Otherwise you're shortening the reach massively with the bars.

With dropbars you go faster and you have a lot of position to move your hands AND BODY around.

Flatbars are WAY MORE controllable at low speed.

Hybrid bikes are among the best bikes in the world.

>>1948300
They are called safety brakes. Consider that in the 70s every fucking road bikes in the US used to come with them. Nowadays they are inline with your brake cable. They work by pushing the housing istead of pulling the cable. I know, it's sound like science fiction, but in this universe elongating the housing is equivalent to pulling the cable.

you don't need to change it if your current crank length feels fine. studies have shown negligible performance differences between different lengths iirc. maybe look at what seems normal like subtract 2.5mm from what comes with stock bike builds, compare to pros with a similar saddle height as you if they have that info posted online.

Probably because your brain doesn't have the computing power to simulate the internal state of other people's brains and unlike some comments on this subreddit, this one resonated for you in some way. That being an exception rather than the rule, your brain attempted to seek an explanation but it ran out of steam simulating the proposition that other minds exist and you just stuck a period on that sentence and ran with it.
