As a pedestrian you must stop for me no matter when I cross. No it is not jaywalking because cities are not for automobiles. You cagers are destroying our environment and have fatal crashes on a daily basis. It is time for us to lobby against automobiles so that our chicks do not have to worry about drive-by cat calls.
>>1599368>tfw always hate geese>start feeding a pair>fuckers have gotten to know me to the point where I can point to a place and they will walk there and stare expectantly>act like dogs and stand on my feet, chase away other geese from me, and try to follow me homeThey’re assholes, but they’re smart fuckers too
They've put up several high way bridges around me and it always puts a smile on my face. They even did a study on the bears and saw the immediate effects of genetic diversity.

Ahem... Hello gentlemen riders and the sundry sophisticates of /n/, perhaps we should discuss the proper and mature side of cycling, unracing. To all those that say no to consumerist frivolity and yes to beauty, utility, humility, and craftsmanship. We welcome all who see through the lies of the corporate disposable plastic racer agenda and choose to just ride on fine steel velocipedes
>>1599298>I was under the impression that for comfortable riding you'd want to be as upright as possibleHave you ever considered that you are full retarded?
>>1599298get dummy hoods then. nobody cares. if you have a coaster brake on a drop bar bike you're dumb. do the dummy hoods so will make me laugh
>>1599298so? we're talking about commuting. no one commutes in the drops of track drops.
>>1557996>>1557902I just bought a bag for my rear rack, but now I'm thinking a milk crate might be better...

>>1598483Plugging it before you splatter the tyranny matters. It protects the carrier from lawsuits. As they can show they took action to protect the life of the person. It also reduces the severity of derailment and can even prevent them.
>>1598718What is slack action?
>>1597373>Much better then EU rails. US rail can support cargo trains 6-7 times more capacity then falling apart EU rail.You are mixing carrying capacity with maintenance. Even fucking tram tracks that can only support light vehicles may be maintained in pristine condition...Also "falling apart" EU rail can support intercity trains with 200 kph and high speed rail with 250+ kph, whereas the US foamers piss their pants if something runs 120 kph (or your 70 bald eagles per AR15 bullets).
>>1599317>poster gets BTFO by pointing out american rail can support massive loads with little maintenance and still work perfectly fine>"w-well actually no because its not constantly kept up like a tram track"the seethe is palpable.
>>1599317Your rail network can't even handle double-stack containers, and your couplers have 1/8th the strength of the American standard. Scharfenberg couplers are the only superior technology, and that's already being adopted by American transit.
It's back boys! We had a great thread going while S1 aired, so let's continue the fun!>The fuck is this?Historian Tim Dunn goes to various railways and talks about the history of said railways, and their buildings/infrastructure.

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

>>1599229What is your problem with cyclists? Not all of them are bad drivers.
>>1599281I'm not taking anything away from other, just pay your way faggot.
>>1599295I can accept cyclists who are less than perfect on the road, it's the obnoxious arrogance of the lycra fags that makes me delighted they are being taxed, licenced and forced to have insurance. They make up a large portion of the cyclist population where I live. its like this stereotypes exist for a reason and there is always the core truth to them. there is a reason why no matter what nation you're in, what class you are or what your religion is, everyone hates lycra faggot cyclists because they think they own the road and it doesn't matter how new to it they are they always behave like they're in the tour de France. They even refuse to use the cycle lane that millions have been spent on building for them because "it's not the authentic experience for road racing".
>>1599299Yeah, those type of cyclists sound very arrogant. You are right not liking them.
Everyone can be happy with this setup:>Elderly and homeless can take the bus or walk>Poorfags can use a bicycle>Chads can use the automobile>Pedestrians are separated from autos>Greenery for shade, atmosphere and oxygen>If absolutely needed then some road space can be repurposed for a train>Pedestrian overpasses as needed so chads don't have to stop for pedestrians.What is wrong with this?

Fact is, s*burban shitholes are the welfare queens of the nation and are leaches of big cities. Inshallah Biden will outlaw them.
>>1583794>and it's cruel to not let children run around on their own in local parksDrug dealers and homeless. My kids aren't going anywhere near a public park.
>>1583743>Pedestrian overpassesEvery place I've seen these proposed or built, the 'pedestrian rights' crybabies have fought them. Why?I suspect that the pedestrian rights activists are actually anti motor vehicle. And forcing pedestrians into the roadway is just a good way to push up deaths and gain political leverage.
>>1598898Pedestrian overpasses prevent pedestrians from jaywalking. That is problematic.
>>1598487Quit shilling your blog. No one considers it a legit source of information.
Now that we have a railfan President...Do we think we’ll see public transit expansion funded by the Feds? I know things like the NHSL spur to King of Prussia is banking on a Biden Presidency.Do you think he’ll be good for excursions? Bennet Levin seemed to think that he would extend Federal Insurance used to cover Amtrak to excursions, and that he’d repeal Amtrak’s moratorium.

Feed me maps please I need more for my dream board
>>1599292>any feasible route is 5+ hours (at full speed no stops)Keep dreaming pal
>>1581513Even the Amtrak of today can be competitive when the airports serving destinations less than 300 miles apart are far flung from their respective metro areas. The plane carrying me from Baltimore BWI to JFK goes pretty quick, but the MTA "Airtrain" most certainly isn't. I'm not in favor whatsoever of laying concrete ties and catenaries all over the map, though. Just between cities that have bad airports, and sufficiently flat terrain between them. And only if high speed really means high-speed.
Well so far on Day One he’s canceled the Keystone XL and rejoined the Paris Accord. So if nothing else EVs will rise in popularity.
Why are Yachts so common among the super rich, but neither airships, nor gigantic flying boats are even a thing nowadays?I was watching some videos on youtube about superyachts a few months ago and the superyacht lifestyle just sounds pretty dull. They all look alike and only differ in size really. Helipads are nothing out of the ordinary but that's it really.I would at least want it to be a seaplane tender for like a rotax powered SeaRey and then I thought it would be even cooler to have a giant flying boat. Think Sprouse Goose but with modern materials, it would be insanely expensive, but from what I can tell, that's kind of the point.And as for airships, I'm not the biggest fan but I figured there'd have to be at least some rich assholes who want an airship that dwarves basically any man made vehicle. Again with the technology and materials of today, why doesn't this stuff exist apart from like warbirds?

Any locomotive operators here? How do you like the job?>management sucksBesides that obviously
>>1593149There is screen that shows the next stations on European trains or they have a piece of paper in front of them I think.
>>1597637Because if an accident happens, the damages are easily in the millions, human lives are at stake and it renders the train line unusable for at least days. Companies want to minimize the risk.
>>1593149>when to start slowing downThey need to know the line to be able to drive a train on it, they also need to know the train's breaking capacity, but that's mostly concerns freight trains.
>>1599013Because should've and whatever the fuck shouldof is sound similar
>>1599216To get signed of on a particular line, part of the assessment was to "call the road". I had to sit in a small room with the assessor and verbally describe the entire line as it appears in real life. That included corners, speed boards, points, point speeds, signals, where Junction Indicators and Route indicators could take you, track gradients, platforms etc. Took ages to learn each line. But you have to be able to drive in all kinds of weather and visibility is not always the best.
What went so right?
>>1597843>they recently named a woman which came from Air France's management and got no experience in the railway field.This is exactly what railways and other businesses need. Enthusiasts like trains so they expect everybody to deal with their bullshit management just to ride a train, while in reality people care more about customer service and running on (advertised) time.Virgin trains ran their London-Glasgow service 30 minutes slower than the APT in the 80'syet it had the highest passenger satisfaction ranking on the UK: https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/uk-news/2019/06/27/virgin-trains-tops-passenger-satisfaction-ranking-before-it-loses-franchise/
>>1598917Yeah we sure need "dynamic pricing" instead of reasonable standard rates.
>>1598918Of course. Its money that creates working railways.
>>1597780They have only one city that matters, so everything is based on "to paris in x minutes"

Why has the western world failed to realize the massive urban mobility potential of two-wheeled motorized vehicles?
>>1598315Cold. You're not driving two wheeled thing if you might have ice on road.>>1598353Electric mopeds are temporarily, because regulations regarding electric transport are weak and it is way easier to get 2kW e-bike than a moped.
>>1599238You can get an awesome moped for $2k. If I still lived in suburbia I’d get one but I’m moving back to Brooklyn next month.
>>1599248I used a new bike as an example since this is /n/ instead of /o/. I don't expect anons to even know what a 'box end wrench' is on this board.Pre-Covid you could get a moped for dirt cheap. I bought my tfr for $250, title in hand.
