wht's your fave train from the railway series? Mine is Culdee boy

I hate looking at these riced out pieces of shit. It’s for children. Stay off the mountains
>>1636270It's literally just a regular mountain bike. What are you bitching about?
>>1636549who says it hasn't? the little guy in your head?
anyone who rides a $1000+ mtb in current year probably does real mtb riding. every young adult knows how to use google and read forums to research bikes. the most clueless normie would probably buy a hybrid bike or perhaps a very entry level hardtail. the stores don't even sell cheap full sus bikes for adults, the cheapest is like a giant stance for $1500+.
and even my shithole country has mtb parks so mtb is a real thing even where road cycling is hardly a thing
i checked some stores in my country, even for children they don't sell full sus bikes. maybe those $200 full sus BSOs are a burger thing with unscrupulous boomer walmart chink brands. there are some 27.5" ones on decathlon starting at £500.
How much does aero matter? Is it worth the back/ wrist ache?
>>1631550>>1631565Aw yiss, I prefer to have an unbruised perineum also.You don't necessarily need much drop to get aero, think long instead of low and you can get much the same effect.
>>1635808If your back hurts from regular bike riding, you should consider seeing a physical therapist sooner rather than later.Dead serious anon.
>>1635812Lol, this was back flip triple tailwhips around the block bro. You should have been there.
>>1635368So you've ruined the geometry of the bike and wonder why your body hurts, retardEnjoy your exploding knees

If pilots are hired for diversity reason how are you supposed to ever fire them?
>>1636319Don’t worry, that plan will be quietly scrapped.
>>1636319>tfw the captain says "I'm the problem"
>>1636319But firing them would be racist. You're not a racist, are you? Just like you don't get mad at a puppy for pissing on the carpet, you don't blame a POC for crashing an airplane.
>>1636319You're absolutely retarded and should shoot yourself in the head.
>>1636319>pilots>fire themNever happens. At best they get an "early retirement" and a pension. Or they just stay on salary but you stop scheduling them any flights.
>>1636129Must be nice living in a dry temperate climate
What are we talking about?Commuting? Then obviously you ride your every day clothes.Anyways, skin tight clothing is a must if you want to go fast and long.Anyone claiming something else, has never focused on cycling as the activity itself but as a means to get from A to B.
Only to reasons to be against it>you think it's gayGet over it, graduate middle school>you think the rider is trying to say they're better than you, personallyTake your meds in that caseI'm not even a lycra wearer, just a roadie commuter/fun haver with platform pedals, but all my rides are pretty fucking short.I won't ever fault anyone for having an easier time of it and neither should anyone else
i ride to work and occasionally drive a forklift in rapha kit and blundstones lol the truck drivers love it
>>1632356Cringe
Why are diesel trains so comfy?
>>1633873For £600 a month you could have a top spec -immune to traffic- rocket ship and actually own it after 24 months.Wtf are you thinking?
>>1635364bike bros...
>>1635364You have no idea what riding a motorbike is like if you think a 100+ daily commute is sustainable.t.trainfag who commuted for years on a bandit 600. I'll take sitting in the warm and dry train every fucking day. Not to mention the rampant bike theft in the UK that's completely ignored by the police. Also had my bike stolen and wasn't even in london.
>>1636353>100 mile daily commuteholy fucking shit. they'd better be paying you an extortionate amount of money at that job for it to be worth your while, wagie.
>>1636353>>1636394and, yes, I know for a lot of americans 100 miles is a round trip to the local shartmart to pick up beer and smokes, but we're talking about bongistan here.
Hi guys, I don't know if you remember me but I am the one who used to archive NK vehicles. I've been on both Imgbb and flickr but now I've moved to a forum so if anyone wants to join or need any info you can request it here: https://nkrecognition.proboards.com/ It is not transportation limited so you can ask about anything that needs identification. (This is still work in progress so please excuse the layout)
>>1635718what are those signs in the background right?
>>1635861No idea desu
>>1635867they're not korean symbols, I was wondering if they belong to any language at all
>>1635861The symbols are probably indicators of some sort, they don't appear to belong to any language.
>>1635718I can't post this if it's not pictured in North Korea, but thanks for the contribution!
Is it true that some find numbering both platforms and rails confusing? As opposed to just the rail number.
>>1634279>peron 1>tor 6>numberingThat's caused by the format. Cross-patterning as "Platform A, track 6, section A, car-1-5" would do fine. >>1634522The door closing broadcast are also announced by track or line name, especially when there is cross-platform interchange on an individual island platform (truely next to each other, not same-level opposite-side parallel transfer)
>>1635612Would be useful for mixed bay-side platform (with both dead-end and through tracks), and cut platforms too. Eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ōgaki_Station
>>1634279>>1635754If you find that confusing, you're not on Roma Tiburtina level. From left to right: 2-9-10-6-4 ...
>>1635849Yeah that's what Kiel looks like
>>1634279I grew up with platform numbering and I never saw a problem with it. Our station had 2 island platforms with 4 through tracks. Platform 1 with tracks 101 and 103 was for downline trains and platform 2 with tracks 102 and 104 was for upline trains. The announcements and information panels firstly guided you to the correct platform and then told you the track.So a train announcement went like this: The regional train 666 from Empty Fields continuing to Nowhere-upon-Nothing will arrive on platform 2, track 104.You locate the platform, then the track. It had the advantage that if there were trackworks, you still kept the platform but just switched the track so that for example platform 2 was always the right choice for all upline trains.Now I live with the German system with track numbering only. It's not better but it's not worse. The tracks are marked visibly, the announcements are a bit shorter (omitting the platform part) and you can still find your train. Only during trackworks you have to keep in mind that track 3 now parallels track 6 on the same platform, so if your train switches tracks, don't panic...

>>1635968Still the gay jews cutting costs with the engine adaptation and overall stagnant policy and constant government gibs is fucked up.
things started to go wrong for boeing when they stopped paying attention to the 747. theyre cursed now.
>>1636093They also always take kosher decisions that would affect the gibs that usually go to the rest of their tribe, such as affecting marine trade routes too much:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_RC-1Or any honest attempts at migrating away from oil based fuels.

Who here has two bikes for two specific purposes?I'm one of those who was originally looking for a 'gravel bike' because I wanted a bike that would serve me well as a commuter and as a recreational bike, but the truth is I learned that if you want to do two different things you need two different tools, and so I got a road bike which I commuter'd up and a 90's mountain bike which I gravel'd up.It was without a doubt the best cycling related decision I ever made, and the benefits go way beyond simply having two bikes that each fulfill their alloted roles perfectly.>I can keep my commuter bike set up for winter longer in the UK we have rain all fucking year so instead of removing fenders, switching tyres etc I just leave that bike winter ready most of the year, if we get a hot spell then I might slap the licks on and pull the fenders off, but I used to do that shit several times a year and it was a ball ache.>Spare bikeif one bike dfevelopes an issue I always have the opther bike, it's not happened too often, once I had a puncture which I discovered as I was leaving the house for work so I just hopped on my mtb and fixed it when I got home, another time my mtb chain snapped, no worries,. I removed the fenders and other shit from my road bike, stuck the treaded tyres on and too that gravel riding and it was surprisingly decent, although it did make me appreciate and miss the 1990's mtb geometry of my samba.So fuck trying to get one bike to do everything, just get a bike for every need. Pic related is just there for the keks.
Four 4 years ago I had 16 bikes at one point. I'm down to 3 now, not counting a few that a friend out of state has in his shed.1. commuting/touring/do anything bike2. fast road bike3. more casual road bike set up for rough gravel roads or really long ridesAnd realistically that's all I need based on where I live right now since there's not really any appealing mountain biking near me or a need for a winter weather bike.
>>1634804I bought a gravel bike because that fits perfectly with the type of riding I do.I only ride for fun and exercise, with a good mix of on- and off-road. A gravel bike is decent on the road (much better than the cross/hybrid I rode before) and I can still ride unpaved paths and even singletrail.It's perfect for me and nobody can convince me otherwise.
>>1635681African.Very African. Come and step in brothers temple see what's happenin'.
>>1635882If you ever want more speed on road, try getting a second set of wheels specifically for road and swapping back and forth. Way cheaper than getting a whole other bike, and you can get some really nice wheels with the money you saved
I have 2, a race bike and a commuter road bike. Sometimes when i dont have much stuff to take with me i treat myself and ride the race bike to work. I dont feel like i need any more even though bike industry marketing tells me if i spend another 9k or something i could have a 1kg lighter bike and it would be so worth it. Whenever i feel like that i just ride my steel commuter with alu mudguards and it makes the race bike feel super lightweight and fast by comparison and i fall in love with rising it again.

Post Your Bike Thread - Shitty Bike editionWhy is the bongistan thread even still going?I know you all have multiple bikes. Show me the worst one.
>>1635806jesus christ. desu anon, it's a terrible bike, but it's not set up terribly. I've seen very good quality bikes that are 10x more offensive just because of how fucking awfully they're set up. pic related.If your bike rides good for what you use it for then fuck the haters. but clearly you should get a better bike some day.
>>1635818I'm just a tall boy on a smol bike
