Do they all go sweaty to work and smell all day? Disgusting.
>>1638670Basically yeah. The bike infrastructure in Amsterdam is far worse than most other Dutch cities so you end up in traffic, shared routes with pedestrians, or on cobbles quite a lot. Not really worth cycling anything on anything that isn’t slow and comfy. >>1638681If I was less woke I’d make a joke like >>local>lmao
>>1638192from what I gather the model is to have three bikes>thrashed rusty pub crawl bike that stolen and will get stolen>mostly thrashed bike with racks for shopping purpose>light weight bike that's nice to ride but hardly ever used
>>1629728Why would you be sweating from a little biking you fatfuck lmfao
>>1629733>They literally don't shower dailythat's a good thing, showering too often is proven to dry out your skin.
>>1630474>while the breeze from coasting will cool you downloooooooooooooooooleven up here in the north midwest the air gets sticky wet. you ever cycled in a sauna?
im from the capital of the ROA(republic of argentina),and within 20 years we're going to be ,as a local economist said , "the biggest slumtown in the world":How do i learn to transport safely?public transport, taxis, Uber-drivers,etc. How do i survive the urban hellscape?im kind of an hermit anyways but for some stuff i unavoidable will need to leave my apartment.
>>1639097As we do in America "never relax," if you get what I mean.
>>1639099around elves..watch yourselves!
are you in buenos aires? that place is a shithole. do what i do and carry gas pepper everywhere. or a knife , never relax
Why aren't guided busways more popular?
>>1635089Why can't these bus ways be cheaper replacements for railroads?
>>1635539You must be referring to the express ones that look like greyhound coaches? The regular nyc bus is just as shit as the subway
>>1638843That's what they did to at least one or two branch rail lines in Japan that got wiped out by the tsunami. It's got a lot of 'single track' so each bus has instrumentation for the drivers to know where to go and stop, they have to use station sidings to pass each other and so on lol. It's just an asphalt road, I don't remember if it's optically guided or not
why not just a normal road restricted to buses?brisbane has a busway>Since the mid-1990s, a 27 kilometre (17 miles) bus rapid transit network has been developed in Brisbane, Australia. >It comprises grade-separated bus-only corridors, complementing the Queensland Rail City network. >buses, ambulances, busway maintenance vehicles only>tunnels>multiple entrances and exits>northern busway>brisbane hospital station>QUT Kelvin Grove Station>king george station>queen st station>culture centre stationComment too long.

>>1635089Because Adelaide is a shithole
Im amazed the amount fixie riders thinking they are fast , are these people mentally ill? also if you use a riser you should kill yourself or any other flat bar
and the seat tube angle on a true track bike is usually a couple of degrees steeper than on most road bikes to help you get more aero and pedal with more watts
>>1638920>doesn't need cleaning and lubing the chain/drivetrain like a road bike doesYou are a retard if you think you don't need to still keep your chain clean and lub ed if you aren't using a derailer
>>1639195this, atleast once a week if you use the bike everyday, that shit is expensive, and a dirty drivetrain wear out much faster
>>1638920>before you run into slow traffic in front of you, tight blind corners, roundabouts, traffic lights, pedestrian crossings etcReal bikers pass them without slowing down full speed.
having gears are such a meme said the mentally ill fixie rider. >>1638920yeah let me know about speed when you catch me , faggot.
you guys shower with your bike, right?
>>1637140why does this picture terrify me so much.
>>1639281Take your pick:- reminds you of the constant danger of injury while cycling- reminds you that cyclist-body is the polar opposite of "attractive"- reminds you that you are going/will go bald- reminds you what a fugly cunt Froome is when his head isn't hidden behind a designer helmet and sunglasses
>>1639281Just imagine this ghoulish fucker chasing you down fully nude with a gigantic rock hard boner slapping angrily between his leathery thighs. He feel nothing but lust and hate. His eyes are dead. And he has chosen you.
>>1637317>>1637408Ooof INCEL'd
>>1639372
Bought these bad boys. 100% pure polyurethane. Never gonna have to deal with flats again.
and mini pumps are ridiculous, can't reliably get more than 80 psi or so even with a lot of effort. if you start at 110-115 psi a slow leak would still leave you better off for a little while
>>1632417This is now a best tire thread, name better universal choice than WTB NANO 2.1Protip: you can'tProtip No.2 : they are discontinued
and even if i end up having problems with punctures, apparently it's a thing to run normal clincher tires as tubeless, so i wouldn't even need to buy new tires to convert. with vittoria air-liner >>1633732 the tires could even be completely deflated and i could still make it home.
>>1637745
>>1637022>All of you who complain about punctures all the time can blame it on your riding habits>You have to be watching every second for what you're riding over and not ride over debrisAbsolutely, which is why I have solids. My bike isn't a car replacement for commuting. It's a death-trap for attempting sick stunts and crippling myself. If drunkenly riding a road bike off a ramp made of burning pallets into a freezing river doesn't sound like fun to you, you're a damn prude
I am ready to fuck you up
The solution to the cager problem.
Love the 4 wheels for stability looks powered by a small engine
>>1634969Based.
sup nigga
>>1634969Baconrider: get the fuck in here!
what are the best exercises to enhance my bicycling endurance and power?
Shouldn't the training be sport specific? Ride more
>>1639265>Ride moreThis.Try carrying a bit of extra weight, ideally as low down as possible in panniers or frame bags as opposed to backpack or rack.
>>1639296Or instead of adding weight like a weirdo, try riding faster if you want to exert more force.
Wear a baggy as fuck nylon tracksuit and only ride into the wind uphill with very under inflated tyres
>>1638748Riding more.
anyone else live in a place completely devoid of trains that used to have them? it really does suck seeing the infrastructure rot away while money is put into busses that still have to go on the congest highways the cars go on. and also trains are just kino
>>1636085The giant gub'ment here keeps some trains running, full of niggers, dirty and slow as fuck, just in case.But most of the british rail system here is gone.
>>1636085The town im from was famous for the granite that came out of it; those rail lines out of town died in the 1920's and got turned into bike paths. The towns next to me had old mills associated with their rail lines. They still exist as small rail line companies connecting each other to eventual main cities still as rail and possibly as future commuter lines. But the whole "lets connect too commuter lines ", is really just talk even after every renewed interest every 10 years.
>>1636085I live in a town with a big grand central station right downtown that now only gets passenger trains around twice a week. Our old streetcar system was also completely demolished and they refuse to build a light rail netweork. The only sign left that this place used to be a huge train city are the massive freight yards dotting the city.
>>1636090Is it really expensive or is this another case of "juice"?
City use to have quite a few that would expand to neighboring towns You can still see where they go and a bit of em still exist for industrial reasons but don't go as far as they use to anymore as the point's past the usability for industry were removed and turned back into farmland or bike paths.One that's haunted me most of my life went from downtown to the neighboring city then a lake as well a sawmill spur off it,Funny there's still some old footage of it near the lake but nothing near downtown or before it turned north.City also use to have a trolley system that was removed due to the bus fiasco.City put it on ballet a few years ago to bring it back from downtown to a district in town,but nothing ever came of it also downtown is kind of dead and the idiots don't know how to fix it properly as nobody goes there anymore really and keep investing in dumb shit nobody wants.
This RR is going to implode and be bought by another rr, or get bailed our by Dementia Joe. I give it 2 or 3 years tops.
>>1633646yes, but Southern exists in the South which holds no reverence for the past beyond things that involve rebel flags and things that explode. UP is in the north, in a far better state as well.
>>1636481poor b8
>>1637495The diesel engines smoke more than the steamers.
If true,This will help my plans.
200 year old oak trees gone because of the HS2 rail meme. Absolutely disgusting.
>>1635515Someone should do something about that
>somebody think about the trees!!!which trees, anon?

>>1639307>blandit's just literally not bland regardless of how else you feel
>>1639325Don't listen to the haters. Looks fun to hop on and ride desu.
>>1639282130mm. Yours is 2017, no? I imagine the change from solo air to debonair made quite a difference. Sure they're no 34s or Pike but having ridden a little on those forks I can't say I'm disappointed with the Sektors.
>>1639426Mine is a GT sensor 2014 but not the carbono one. In online reviews they said It was the budged foto and Felt lesa than 130mm but more than that in the back. Sincd I've only ridden this and a 2001 GT idrive idk better xDhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eG0ib8gezwU
What would UK rail be like if the Beeching cuts never happened?
>>1638830He was obviously rich at one point, why didn't he save up?
>>1638838>Those foreigners should just give us everything we want. Don't they know who we are?lol cry more
>>1638983no they should have been able to negotiate brexit in good faith but they are conniving and duplicitous, acting as if we are allies and partners one minute and then enemies the next, all because we refused to participate in their undemocratic globalist project to exploit eastern and southern europeans for the sake of the german financial industry
>>1638838Don't mix our retarded politicians with usBrussels is the nuclear target Nº1 for loads of people
>>1638615it's not that they're bad, it's just that (unlike the LNER, LMS and SR) they didnt adequately plan a replacement for steam power, which would result in falling numbers as Midland diesels and LNER/SR electrics started proving better than steam in every way
Tall grass edition.
>>1639111you're more likely to die from a fire in your apartment building
>>1639109no but owner of the farm could call the cops or bother you >>1639105It seems to be a comfy place
>>1639030get a couple of Zippo handwarmers and throw them in your sleeping bag. kept me warm enough to take my summer bag to save weight on >>1636486
>>1615490That's a zero tour setup.
>>1639202I had no problem with a down sleeping bag however one of our group had a shitty mat and shitty sleeping bag which led to suffering. I'll try the hand warmer solution next time.
Preferably vintage, but can be whatever. These pics are from the Keystone truck and tractor museum near Richmond, VA
