blessed train autist
>>1801741What train is this?
>>1801884unspecified narrow-gauge (3ft !!!) steam locomotives that run on the Sabana touristic line, which serves the capital and a few cities around it. as far as I know the furthest station it will go to is Nemocon, 70km away from Bogota.
picrel could be you but your country decided to spend money fighting cocaine instead>nb4 whatplans made by Ferdinand of Lesseps to develop rail in Nueva Granada to integrate with the Panama canal.
DMU's, EMU's, loco's, steam, narrow gauge, broad gauge. You like 'em, you post 'em.I'll start: Class 158 + Reginal Railways livery = K I N O
>>1798695I disagree, I've always thought the Virgin Pendos were decent inside. Hated the smell of the toilets though.
>>1798894>shitachi>hot

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.
>>1794969That's true, but some ninja 250 will also get you where you want to go
>>1788267i do my scoot is 50cc 2T

Step aside, peasants.

How do we make the roads safer for lightweight PEVs, velos and ebikes?I was thinking instead of those pesky traffic cameras we could install motion activated speed bumps. Just a series of blocks that normally sit flush with the road but raise up whenever someone does more than 5 or 8mph over the speed limit.Since most car trips are 11 miles or less it doesnt make sense to use a 4,000 pound vehicle to move a single human from A to B and back.What do you guys think?
>>1796176>How do we make the roads safer for lightweight PEVs, velos and ebikes?we do blood sacrifices of lightweight PEVs, velos and ebike owners untill the pavement is nothing but blood and scabs, then christ will come and expell the jews to hell.
>>1796176>picwhy is it unpainted transparent plasticthat looks fucking perverted
>>1800967The Netherlands called. They would like to discuss effective traffic calming measures they've already implemented.
>>1802559Because thats someones E-penis. Also I dont want to shill with a mass produced velo Ebike. Having said that the Electrom does look sweet but not rain proof.
>>1802559paint is dead weight
Can NA redeem itself?What is the best city in NA, transportwise?Is NA improving?
>>1795692Nah, Sacramento is still pretty shit if you want to go to the westside of the river, or Natomas.
>>1790492It's decent but you also have to live in Vancouver so eh...
>>1795952>>1796098Ottawa's decent (I've lived here all my life and basically taken every type of transport possible) but the O-train has been a massive mess. As in, the wheels cracked under the strain of how many people took it because they FORGOT TO ACCOUNT FOR IT.We're definitely a pretty good city for it, especially because we tend not to have the worse traffic, but I'd probably put is more on the level of something like, i dunno, Minneapolis than an actually good city for transport like New York.Here's hoping though
I've lived in Toronto and Montréal, never owned a car, both have been pretty good to me in terms of transit I especially love the streetcars of my home city
>>1790026this shit is nearly a decade old bro
Been trying to get into a railroad for a couple years nowHaven't gotten any interviews,What gives?anywhere else i get interviews but not with a railroad,Haven't even done anything to be blackballed nor do i have any idiotic shit done that bar me from it.any advice anons?
bumm
>>1795326Getting a rail job is ridiculously easy if you got a CDL A with hazmat/TWIC. I also got a forklift certification and confined space entry. Basically you do ~6 months moving pallets at a truck crossdock which is like working for a railroad but more dangerous due to the constant crush hazard. Fact is most RR equipment are airbrake-equipped combination trucks, and RRs need people licensed to operate them. Most of the time will be spent stuck in traffic on freeways going from jobsite to jobsite unless the railroad is competent enough to setup a workshop inside a caboose or MOW train.
>>1795346Depends where you work. My state restricts UP's ability to subcontract work because we're not a right-to-work state. UP is less picky than my regional MTA, they require about ~5 years experience at UP just to get an interview. This is because they run with UP trains so the operation is setup to snipe employees from UP rather than train them in-house. Kinda dumb IMO when the job is so much easier (doing the same 10 stops every day versus doing 20 different stops every other day).
>>1797716complete side track but they managed to export the 230? god damn feels like the pacer experiments again
>>1802450Pretty sure it's a trial run
Thinking about ordering a Sur Ron ebike. Any competitor bikes I should look into? Do you have any advice/criticism about the Sur Ron? My plan for riding is just to have something to fuck around on with decent speed without getting in trouble.
>>1800117not really an e bike if it doesn't have pedals now is it>>1800118no but if you aren't an obnoxious prick nobody will care
>>1800118A lot of places have restrictions on what’s legal or not depending on the engine size, maximum speed and how the bike looks. But like other users said, depending on where you live, cops only pull over if youre being a dumbass or they want to tack on a charge.
>>1800118As long as they have rearview mirror and the lights, its legal
fucking garbage, go buy an old honda 90 or some equivilent thereof.
Post and talk about trams and similar light rail.Starting with a pic the neat Tatra KT4DCs of Potsdam.

>>1802231you could, theoretically ofc, cross the largest unguarded border in the world and then take a plane through there
>>1802240Yeah that's Plan B. Plan A is wait another year and see how she goes.

Is this the best way to cycle in the rain? Somewhat upright bicycle, full length longboard fenders + short Poncho cape?
>>1802446I have this problem but rather have some sweat in my pits back and ass than having grim mud and dirty water all over me
>>1802446If you get properly baggy rain clothes it isn't much of a problem for commuting speed. But yea it's less than ideal for cardio j will admit. What the Fuck else can you do, though? Short of bringing spare clothes? I feel like best solution is a decent raincoat and some synthetic leggings, keep your real pants in a bag and change upon arrival. Otherwise bring a little wet really isn't a big deal.
>>1802324rei house brand gore tex jacket, rapha technical trousers, wool socks, chrome brand shoes. accept wet legs and feet for an hour until you dry out. this is for my commute to work, btw. if you're just riding for pleasure or sport, just be wet. nothing you do will save you from your own sweat.
>>1802410why no nobody will buy one of these
>>1802324Step your game up.
>ctrl-f>fold>0 resultsMy chinesium, nth hand, hand me down bike broke, again, so I want to replace it with a folding bike since I commute by train everyday; I also do evening deliveries on my bike (yes I'm poor) so the daily km tally is quite high. For that reason I want to avoid the cheapest, crappiest bikes to be found on Amazon and I'm willing to spend (a little) extra for a bike that somewhat reliable. I live in Euroland. All I know about folding bikes is that Decathlon sells a few models and while they're decent quality for the price I should avoid the cheapest one. Anyone familiar with Decathlon Tilt 500 or 900 models? Any reason to prefer one over the other?
>>1797881Dahons are usually regarded as being some of the best, yeah.
>>1797946Thanks Anon. For everyone else, if you're looking for a ~1k folder, this looks imo like the one.
Anyone have any experience with Citizen bikes? Was looking into maybe getting the Miami Citizen but I feel like I don't find too much info about them online.

what would the punishment be for landing a general aviation plane on a decommissioned airport be?in the uk if that mattersand assuming the landing was done as safely as possiblei cant tell you why i need to know this
>>1801796How would anyone know if you just took off from some random airfield?

>>1802196my plane doesnt have a radio loldesu i dont rly wanna fake an emergency unless i need to to not loose my licence i just wanna land at this damn abandoned airport to prove a point but the owners of it are assholes and will probably try to have my head for it
Do you ever go for a chad bmx run?
I dont understand the sizing for bmx I'm 1,85cm what frame should i get?
>>1801926Scale model?
>>1801669I've ran over a cat with my Peugeot, I didn't stop but I remember that I was worried afterwards that I might have hurt her
>>1802091One time I ran over a possum. Front tire missed him, rear tire got him.Broke his spine. I looked back, and his hips were turned to the sky, legs motionless, trying to scrabble away with just his arms.Had to go back and slit his throat. It was the merciful thing to do.But yeah, I hope that cat was alright.
>>1801669no, because im not 15 anymore
Are you ready for your LIMIT BREAK /n/?>October 2022
I remembered losing interest during the second interhigh. It was so drawn out / boring and the special abilities were just getting ridiculous in a bad way.

Guys who wear helmets vs guys who don’t:
>>1800972>>1802000>>1801338Yeah, same. I get the impression that people who cry about me not having a helmet also get very upset about covid vaccines.
