How walkable is the city nearest to you? How are you gonna get that score higher?https://www.walkscore.com/
my suburb has a walk score of 29. is that bad or good?
>>1800185here in Europe this is not even a thing, all cities, all towns are super-walkable
>>1802738You'd think that but how much can you really reach in 5 minutes of slowly walking?
>>1802703Good.

>>1802715btw any ideas how to clean this shit without ripping it apart?
>>1802657>so you can keep an eye on your cargosecure it before hand dumdum>so you can control the load with your arms instead of your assthe load is supposed to add to the dead weight of the bike, having to control the added weight makes no sense, use your brain dingus>so you can pedal out of the saddle without the bike tailwagging on yourolleyes>of course there's also cons to front cargo and pros to rear, let's not turn this thread into yet another my opinion > your opinion shitfest pleaseyour opinion is unfathomably inferior, it is no matter

Cadence. Speed.90 rpm at 5km/h90 rpm at 10km/h90 rpm at 15km/h90 rpm at 20km/h90 rpm at 25km/hI've been thinking about gear ratios and this seems the minimal amount of gears on could get by with.It will allow me to tackle hard climbs and headwinds at a healthy cadence. And I rarely exceed 25 km/h on a touring rig with 4 loaded panniers and two top loads on the flats. Heavy speeds with heavy loads are dangerous as well plus I just coast downhill. I find low gearing is much more important to save the knees, big gears are redundant for me.Now what are the gear combinations I need to achieve this?
>>1800055>Even if you guessed his gearing correctly ("if")ok samefag, never said I did. I just picked some typical numbers from one of the presets, and you already know that.also triple crank with anything more than 8 gears is rslur-tarded, but you clearly aren't ready for that discussion.
>>1798455>Cadence. Speed.>90 rpm at 5km/h>90 rpm at 10km/h>90 rpm at 15km/h>90 rpm at 20km/h>90 rpm at 25km/h5km/h to 25km/h is 500% gearing range, getting that off a single ring drivetrain is impossible without going into the 12 speed 10-5x territory.Moreover, 5km/h @ 90rpm _requires_ 22/52 gear ratio. Coupled to a 22T front ring, you'd need a sram 10-52 cassette to get to 25-ish km/h @ 90rpm. Provided you'd actually do it, it would get exceedingly expensive to run. Small rings imply higher chain tension, which leads to high chain wear.Even in your fantasy world, where you get your five gears, you'd be murdering the two fastest ones pretty goddamn fast.If you are the the 'contrarian' type who needs to have everything different and retro-grouchy, consider 2x8 or 2x9 with 11-42 cassette and a 22-30 or 22-32 crankset. Nothing is available off the shelf with this arrangement, but you can cobble it with bits and pieces yourself.
>>1798476That would not work. 11-46 over five cogs is a different cassette to 11-46 over 11 cogs. The cassette profile ( the slope ) is radically different.
>>1798588Mountain double is what MTBs were progressing to from the 9 speed era forwards, but it was cut short by 1x with wide range. They arose when people found out that 4x pie plate was rarely used and could be ditched, so they did, being left with the two remaining chainrings.They are widely available still.

Anons I need help. I'm 22, in the UK, and just graduated with an MSc in Computer Science. However, I've actually become repulsed by the CS industry over the years and have gravitated towards maritime. I don't really know very much, so I want to find out what the best path for me to take is, and what the process of getting that is.I've looked into things like Merchant Navy, but the problem with that is the 4 years of training. I still want to get married and settle down eventually, and I'm worried that I might spend my entire youth at sea and be too late to start a family. It's a paradoxical set of interests, and I really don't know what to do.
>>1802681Gong out to sea is for men who have nothing on land. Consider tht before you throw away your social life for a life tht will satbilize your neuroticsm to some extent. The whole wife and kids thing, forget about it unless youre looking foward to raising an emasculted child without a father figure and like constantly worrying about the cock your wife is riding while youre getting screamed at by the good ol cap. Othrwise, get your basic stcw certs an hop on as a deckhand somewhere coastal and see for yourself
>>1802681This is me but i realized my family prospects were zero anyway due to my autism so went for it anyway, im 25 now and know nobody in the US. Im going to start working less and go shoreside soon and try to find a wife or something, you have jobs you can transition too somewhat easily on land if youre an engineer even unlicensed, but im going to go to a college do get a degree in something i like. The thing with spending your youth at sea is you have a lot more fun with better friends than you would, or atleast i did, on land, but then you are completely alone when you go home. Going to try to work 4 months out of the year from now on and start building up on land and if i still have nothing then idk.
What are your favourite traffic lights, /n/? I like the big, bulky yellow ones.
East German pedestrian lights because they equal home.
>>1802381Old school, pic related. Also in the top five, the ones that my town used to have before they were upgraded. Yellow around the lights (all incandescent), no "shield", metal poles.>>1802382That's the "doghouse" design.
>>1802542Those are actually nice for minor intersections in residential areas. They fit in better and seem less intrusive (the ones I'm familiar with are still painted green)>>1802542>That's the "doghouse" design.I know. They've been around for several decades, then some bureaucrats decided they were 'confusing' to motorists and they're all being removed. I figure that has to be part of a kickback scheme.
>>1802382I noticed it's using LEDs instead of the typical incandescent bulbs. I assume it's in a climate where it doesn't snow?

we are human beings, the most amazing ingenious and adventurous of all animals. We have tamed the oceans, the deserts, the forests, the mountains, the frozen wastes and the mother fucking sky. Human beings come in all shapes and forms, it must be that way, we need childbearing women, we need worker bees, we need warriors types, wise men and we even need cowards and doom mongers, but the rarest and most important of all are the adventurers, the fearless pushers of boundaries, the people who live life out on the edge pushing the envelope in their mysterious desire to find out how fast is too fast, how high is too high and how hard is too hard, these are the humans who drag the rest of the species kicking and screaming into the unknown, into the future and out of the cave towards the stars.This thread is for them, those who are not worried about every possible disaster that may befall them, who fall not for the marketing mans scare stories and care not to live a life wrapped in cotton wool and bubble wrap, for the health and safety hold-outs, for those who just want to live life to the fullest in the moment surrounded by possibilities good and bad as we carve our way through the hostile deathscape that is life on Earth and face down our fears, to conquer our anxieties, those of us who refuse to allow fear to make a home in our hearts and who will not succumb to the way of the coward. This is for the helmet rejectors. Post videos, articles and accounts of men being men, women trying their damnedest to be men and kids showing us all how to really embrace existence and live in the moment free of fear, taking the simplest of wheeled transport and turning into a dance with death, I shall start...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=242BZrw-U2U&t=871shttps://www.bicycling.com/culture/a28786346/rough-stuff-fellowship-cycling-club/

>>1802595Ummm no. Wearing a helmet is accepting the fact that you WILL crash and can do so without wasting time dealing with a concussion.
>>1802599Yea that's what I'm thinking too
With added safety, real or imagined, even the adventurer typically feels more confident to push limits even further.Unless you're talking careless adventurers, they are basically just doing really cool suicides.

See here for detail:>>>/o/25332570Don't really understand mopeds but if they come in 125cc then suggestions are welcome too.Gonna be for general, non-special usage. A bit of dirt road once a while, a semi-long trip once in a while. Most of the time, driving around urban hoods and enjoying some uphills. Probably gonna need a storage box or something added to it.You'll know the pros and cons. Which should I go for? Budget limited to 125cc quality or 200cc cheap brand.
