Hi /n/, thoughts on package drivers? UPS package car driver here
>>1955383That's england? They pull that shit even there?
>>1958421FedEx does the same shit, FedEx Ground uses only contracted couriers but Express still has in-house couriers but now they're merging the Ground and Express logistics chains and sacking half the Express couriers for more contracted couriers. Raj in all his pajeet retardation is selling out FedEx's reputation even more for a quick buck, I hate that fucking poo
>>1955377Did you start as driver? If so, how'd you get that lucky?
that unwavering confidence of the screen-based workforce, even in the face of ai. also much of blue collar shit is of questionable greater purpose. I long to just grow food and humans, at the expense of what feels like all social standing. the market demands distractions and brutal ethical compromises

The eternal debate....Which wins?
E-scooters fucking suck and was such a waste of money>easier to get stolen>can be fucking impossible to replace tires on>hope your roads are GOAT tier or feel every bump>if batteries die the motor is counter productiveAt least a bike has use cases if the battery is dead>>1990062What e-bike goes 80kmph?
>>1990029>>1990033Unless you need the form factor of the scooter (you need to take it up the stairs, office, bus) get an ebike.
>The eternal debate....Which wins?the hobo rocket bike

>>1990029I use an ebike to get to work without sweating then pedal home for some exercise.
YRT and TTC fares now interchangeable within two hours. However, 900,000s immigrants have come within the last few years, worth the tradeoff?How are your trips anon?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:TTC_subway_map_2023.svghttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:VIVA_Bus_Rapid_Transit_Map_-_effective_feb_2016.pnghttps://www.gotransit.com/en/system-mapHello non torontonians, if youve popped into thread this is the current bus, subway, and train infrastructure in toronto and the surrounding area. Its really not adequate for how large and how populated the greater toronto area is, but its what we have. For me, I live in Richmond Hill so I mostly use the viva bus, and the go train to go downtown.
Why are there no container ports for the Great Lakes, like there are on the East and West coasts of North America?Why is it only used for bulk cargo at the moment?
Can you two just get a room and fuck each other already? The foreplay has gone on for too long
>Jones act>Jones act>Jones actDoes Canada have an equivalent that makes this impossible there too?
>>1991053Bot
>>1991103The Canadian version is the Coasting Trade Act. It has the same stipulation about Canadian flagged vessels getting preference in-between domestic ports, but in 2010 they removed tariffs on foreign-made ships, so Canada has a respectable fleet now. Also it’s more permissive of foreign-flagged ships to perform coastal trading if no Canadian flagged vessel is available, the US only allows it by Presidential waiver.
Holy fuck, why is there a /pol/ack who is calling everyone a chink? Stay on your containment boards, and jannies need to do their job.
Disasters never have one root cause and neither did the destruction of cycling. But I know some important milestones in the decline and fall:1. COVID 19. Enough said.2. Full suspension mountain bikes. Enough said.3. Reddit. Enough said.4. Twitter. Enough said.5. British "people". Enough said.6. The d-tch. Enough said.7. The state of Utah. Enough said.8. Zwift, Peloton, "Spin Class", and other cancer. Enough said.What were some other key moments?
>>1986668you don't actually have a bike do you
>>1970460Preach. It works both ways. Cyclists certainly don’t behave as though they are the most vulnerable road users. It’s a shame. Bikes should be fun and cheap transport. Let’s all maintain order and follow the rules of the road so there are fewer accidents and everyone gets to go home safely whether they’re on two wheels or four. Known tons of cool cyclists who ride responsibly. I like to ride in quiet areas for leisure on a nice day. Unfortunately a small group of entitled activists have utterly ruined the reputation of a genuinely great idea
>>1962645>muh safe space
>>1990025> cyclists who ride responsibly.You mean who stay off roads unless there is a 0% chance any motorist will ever see them and be able to get upset. That is what you people mean by this.
>>1979825Kind of, shows amazing control and balance but at the same time that's really fucking obnoxious and I wouldn't ever endanger myself for something as stupid as random retards online thinking I'm cool.
Let's see those handlebar set ups, what gadgets and gizmos are you running and why?
>>1987788Garmin has that>>1990790This gives me a comfy feeling
>>1990790I'd recommend a high powered laser pointer to blind drivers and pursuing helicopter pilots but besides that it's a good list
>>1991009the fact that NOBODY here or on /g/ talks or know about this guy is a fact worth being studied by itself.

Who is this for?
>>1988567It's mostly empty space >>1985385 but the handle bars fold in and the seat gets stored inside as well.
>>1988567batteries I'd assume

Old thread finally hit its bump limit >>1750878 2023 started out as a crazy year on the collectible market but things seem to have settled down a bit Have you made any new acquisitions ?What do you wish to buy year?Collectible bike thread!!
I have a castellano fango It’s definitely a rare piece, though I don’t intend to keep it era or treat it like it’s made of glass. I ride it all the time.I do have another bike which is distinctly a collectible though
>>1990851An SE STR-29, 40th anniversary 29” quadangle This is treated more like a collectible, I feel kinda bad about it sometimes. Because I absolutely love it, I just rarely ride it. It’ll maybe see 20 miles in the summer.I have all the original stuff for it too, the pads and grips and all that.
>>1990853Rad

why are guys like this so racist against anything that isn't old and farty?why don't they just ignore the people flying by them at 40mph having a ton of fun being super fit and not fat and angry like themselves? Why they such haters?
>>1985909>cops with tattoos and beardsis there no standard anymore
>>1978672>orbital jewish laser cannons that cause tornados, or that lizard people are trafficking children to sell their blood to democratsthe weather dominator is a UHF antenna array, and the lizardman is an allegory for people who commit inhuman atrocities.

>>1988984Sorry grant. I won't do it again
Why are bicycles seen as uncool?
>>1988113Cars are cool. Skill issue
>>1988096I think theyre really cool, anonCyclists on the other hand...
Because a mass of uncool people started basedfacing over them. It's completely valid to start disliking something when it gets popular.
>>1988096they are?ive seriously never heard anyone say thismaybe about types of bikes but never the concept of bikes as a wholethis must be american suburbia thinking where bikes are almost exclusively for people too young to drive or lycra wearing boomers
My co-workers think I have a gambling problem because I don't own a car. All the people I grew up with conflate recreational riding with being forced to ride a bike because you're a loser and can't afford a car.
bicycles should be fun colors, not boring solid colors
>>1991338>just see what springs to mind.Purple. Might as well try to get the whole palette in.
>>1991339agree, do purple
>>1991338Don't paint it. Just oil, wax or clear it. It looks cool like that.
>>1991338that's too many colors for one bike, but to answer your question, paint the stem whichever color is dominant on the rest of the bike
>>1991339>>1991368>>1991369>>1991377Purple is out, I agree with the lad that says there are too many colours already, so adding more would be a bad idea. Truth is the bike already looks like a bad acid trip, luckily the blue is only on components, so I will probably remove all of those to tone it down a tad.I'm going to pain stem red to match the forks
Happy 20th Birthday 4chan. I traveled to Fremont, CA to meet up with some dear friends and family and found out that the the Niles Canyon Railway was doing a steam excursion to commemorate the Bronco Billy Film Festival where they were showcasing silent-era films that were shot in Bay Area at the turn of the century so I booked a last-minute ride aboard it.Will dump my album and go over some history of the railroad and its equipment below.
>>1952986i'm an avid watcher of people who enjoy vintage railway stuff, you guys are like unique in a cute way.
>>1956543I've always wanted to go to the Secret Sidewalk
>>1958419Some of the concrete sections are starting to fall apart because the aqueduct hasn't been maintained in decades.
>mfw missed out on opportunity to ride the speeders this year
Dumping photos for whoever's interested.
>>1983838you can get a phone that was absolute cutting edge 2 years ago for $500 and it's more likely to be with you 100% of the time and in most cases do a good enough job (in some cases worse in some cases actually better)pic here was taken at night with my midrange phone from 2 years ago, I have no idea what I'm doing I just pointed and pressed the button. there's far better stuff out there but surely you're not going to say this fairly mediocre phone hardware isn't 'good enough' for almost any reasonable use case
>>1915151I'll be visiting family there in May; think i'll go and visit it then!
>>1985181What day?>tfw will probably be there on Memorial Day weekend for my birthday
I prefer heritage railways myself
>>1915153Is that caboose still full of heroin addicts needles?
Downtown tunnel/"underground cities"/skywalk systems are literally everything urbanists seem to want--a pedestrian-oriented true "walkable city", linking commercial and residential buildings together, but they hate them. Why?

The science is in, rim brakes are and always have been superior to disk brakes in every metric, weight, stopping power, aerodynamics.The ONLY exception, and there are caveats even to that, is on carbon rims, which are gay.Watch the first part to see the sciencey bit about how the industry lied about disks to force consoomers into buying cheaper to manufacture disk brakes for more moneyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3P4IIWsaS5Itfw when they pushed disk brakes in order to usher in a world where everyone would be proud to pay over the odds to ride bikes made of chinese plastic, including fragile plastic rims that cannot withstand the forces of rim braking without exploding in a catastrophic fashion.
>>1987230YepThat's the killing blow for disc cucksIndustry pivot incoming lel your disc bike is trash
You're just a contrarian who wants something to argue about. Wrong. Not true. Don't care about your gay eceleb. Also you're gay and wear lycra.
This video is literally an advertisement for their product. Everything they said about disc breaks is true but they only really mentioned it in regards to aero TT/Tri bikes. Yes there's no reason for dick brakes if you just was a fast aero light bike.All other use cases are unmentioned because, surprise surprise the dick breaks offers a better compromise for more people. Sorry to all the rim brake fags out there but it's not like you can't still go out and get a nice used rim brake bike
What the fuck is this rim brakes vs disk brakes meme, I don't use /n/ often but I see it all the time, I've had bikes with both systems and they're both fine, what's all the reeing about.
