should cyclists be licensed and bicycles be registered?Pros>license and registration on bicycles would reduce theft because bicycles would be police traceable.>money gathered from license and registration of bikes could be put towards infrastructure >traffic laws are more enforceableCons >potential barrier to ridership
>>1597831that's for living on the place you live. The CO2 tax is still to come.>>1597768>>1597806also this. I really hope the government taxes absolutely everything so even the most retarded people like OP will realize that the government won't fix their problems just because they tax you.

I'm fucking tired of crawling around in my car. As idiots on scooters, e bikes, and their phones keep almost hitting my car. Even if they run a stop sign and hit the side of my car. I'll still hold responsibility as the bigger object.
>>1597831> If I lose my home, I stop existing>>1597767I've never heard a cohesive argument in favour of taxing/regulating cycles that isn't immediately torn apart by basic scrutiny. But I've only heard this argument from raging r*ght-wing hot take media types. So there might exist a good argument for it somewhere.
>>1598567Just treat e bikes like Mopeds.

Does anyone on here enjoy railfanning or just going out of their way to watch trains? I recently started doing it again after my neighbor took me on a couple trips. Anyone feel cringe filming random trains? Post American diesel content too
I'll go out with my girlfriend and sit at the train station and watch trains go by late at night, used to live by the Up-Main near Chicago, something nice to pass the time
>>1596992Yup. All railfags get the rope first.
>>1598488foamer pseudrail detected
>>1596943If I’m close to the city where there’s variety in the engines or there’s an excursion then yeah: but if I’m out in the suburbs and it’s just the same looking BNSF GE’s I won’t waste the storage
>>1596943No anon, here on 4chans train board noone likes watching trains.

>>1598492Wesley Wills was a man with a pure soul who made pure unadulterated music. he suffered from schizophrenia and made music in oder to deal with the demons in his head. You should be thankful that I shared that video with you. If you didn't at least find it funny, that's sad. I'm going to presume that you are too close-minded to take this in, but that's ok.why are you even here when you have nothing to contribute? do you even own a bicycle?
How long is your commute to work?
>>1595639This whole board is a collection of clowns, so you you fit the bunch.
>>1587730Before wfh? A 20 minute walk on a trail which runs along a river. Shit's pretty cash.
49km from home to work and back
>>1587756how many miles?
>>1587908>Fuck I'm slow. Takes me like 45 min for 6 mi.i used to do under 20min down an expressway skitching cars on a fixie. so much fun. iirc record time was 13min in a car, 16min on fixie and 19min on bmx or something
Anyone cruisers here? Sailing and motor included. Visit any cool places? Have any good stories? Tips for first timers? Youtubers worth watching?
What knot is best to tie my fenders to these clips with?
>>1592832Based and monohulled
>>1598342Want to be un-fancy? Bowline.Want to be fancy? Brummel lock-splice.
>>1598364Multihulls look cool and have certain other benefits but ultimately they're for caribbean vacationers who sit at anchor more than they move because a moving multihull is a bobbing and slapping multihull. The steadily leaning and wavecutting nature of monohulls is just more comfortable underway.
>>1598365Thanks anon. I did bowlines but I’ll look into the fancy option
Over the past few years, the Bay Area has grown into one of the most valuable real estate areas in the world due to Silicon Valley and other booming businesses. More people keep moving in and the mountainous area keeps expanding to meet housing demands. It seems that the transportation infrastructure is not keeping up and traffic is getting worse and worse every year. How do we solve this?
>>1595619Best solution.
>>1595625>Price people out to stop them from moving in.They'll live in the parks and poop in the streets.
>>1598511Not if you have an effective police force. How many homeless people are shitting in Greenwich, CT? Zero.
Why would anyone in their right mind care about car traffic? It’s not a problem you can ever solve. Just build better modes of transportation and let the cagers enjoy their self-induced harm.
>>1598511>They'll live in the parks and poop in the streets.Only because YOU LET THEM

>>1598363i like this i hope you didn't choose to change the fork though
>>1598452if your ass is just bruised, ride through it, break your ass in if your man bits hurt, that's bad. brooks are good but that bike is too sporty for one imo
>>1598452i wouldn't ride on anything else but a nicely broken in b17, dunno about the other models though.
>>1598452i have a wtb like yours on one of my bikes. i thought it was an ass hatchet until i adjusted it correctly. for me, the sweet spot ended up being slightly lower, further back, and tilted nose up a touch more than what i was used to with similar saddles. i have brooks saddles on 4 of my other bikes - they take a little while to break in, but are the most comfortable.
>>1598452I can safely say Brooks is a meme AND are fucking comfiest things ever.Had problems with taint pain, penis numbness (scariest thing ever) and asshurt on normal and gel padded saddles (sports saddles, not the comfort ultrapadded ones)Then I got a Brooks Flyer for my dad and he loves it to bits, tried it out and it was the most comfort I ever felt on a bike. Got myself a B17 Imperial and couldn't be happier, feels awesome and looks great as well.Don't forget to treat it right.
Welcome to the /gag/ - /gag/ is dedicated to all the pilots and pilot applicants out there, and although the name suggests otherwise, airline, military, and charter discussion is welcome.Keep it on topic, keep the shit throwing to a minimum, no nudes.

>>1598261Cash, saved up about $15k before and worked 20 hours a week all throughout flight training. Took me 4 years and 220 hours of training to get to commercial w/ instrument and single+multi engine and my CFI. Also went to university full time. Plus the weather gets shitty here in Jan/Feb so its hard to get up those months. If you have more money saved up and can just focus on flying you can knock it out much quicker than that.
>>1598397>why hawg?I've been obsessed with the hog for a long time, in fact it was my main motivation for becoming a pilot. More than anything I love the close air support mission. Fighter jets don't do anything for me, but flying low to the ground, providing close firepower to soldiers in need is what appeals to me more than anything else. the A-10 is such a unique plane with a unique mission, i love it.>slowi dont care about going fast>uglywhether it's planes or cars or anything else, i like the ones that look different>one-trick-ponyand she does that trick extremely well>old airframesi love old planes.Comment too long.

Anyone using the jtek shiftmate? Why is it so abhorrently expensive for what it is, are there any aftermarket options? For the uninformed, this pulley system changes the cable pull ratio to allow cross-compatibility between shifters, derailleurs, and cassettes. This thread is also aimed at those who run different components and have yet to resolve their shifting woes. Handy chart detailing pull ratios and cog pitch: http://blog.artscyclery.com/science-behind-the-magic/science-behind-the-magic-drivetrain-compatibility/
>>1597671>I should get everything at-costI agree! Let's make our own knockoff J-Tek shiftmates and stick it to the man!
>>1597729i mean, what kind of man would mishmash their drivetrain? usually someone who got a good deal on a part here and there and ended with a backlot of incompatible partsi bet they got bribed by the big manufacturers, because if you could have campy's beautiful human interfaces but use dirty old sham&sram that just works on the bike end of things, they'd lose so much money that they already have
I had to use a Shimano front pull mech with Sram shifters, I changed its geometry with a file, now it works flawlessly.
>>1597492>Oh look it's 'cope' hardware!Just buy the correct shifters and shit and stop fucking around.
>>1598350>"Nooooo, you must use the original manufacturer's parts or it will not workie!"

Build out of an old Automatic Two Shifter Folding Bike. Was fun to ride. Sold it and build a Different ebike lol
>>1593133Looks nice
I had my dad buy one for me when I was in my 11 year old wigger phase but I never rode because it was uncomfortable to ride and way too flashy and conspicuous on the streets of suburban England.
>>1594450Any pics?
