Has anything strange ever happened to you on a commercial flight?>Flying from Toronto to Ottawa>Airplane starts banking left and right>Hear strange noises from the engine as if it's powering down and up>Arrive in Ottawa>Captain says over the intercom:haha sorry about that folks we lost our autopilot system but nothing serious and you?
Do you ever think back to something that happened to you and it doesn't seem real because it seems so out of character for you? That's how I feel whenever I remember my flight back to the States from Europe when I was 21.>be me, 21, very shy>travelling alone from Europe back home to USA>finally take my seat after getting to the airport with all my shit>i'm alone in my row, omg i'm gonna have the whole place to myself. i take the aisle seat for now>at the last minute, someone walks up next to me>"sorry, i think i'm sitting next to you">i look up and i'm met with an angelic face of a young lady>oh shit, this cute girl is sitting next to me? what do i do?>soon after take-off, she starts talking to me>she's cute, 19, Belgian>keeps asking me questions and making conversation>we hit some turbulence after a while and she gets a little scared and snuggles up against me.>it's a little chilly so she gets out one of the in-flight blanketsComment too long.

Hi there, from Mexico City. I deliver food on a MTB hardtail 29", looking to upgrade into a brand new Honda Navi. Smack some sense into me. http://www.hondanaviworld.com
>>1599496you're a fucking mexican poorfag, don't go wasting your money away just because you're lazy
if you're getting a motorcycle for work, get whatever is popular with everyone else in the same business so that hopefully you wont get fucked by parts availability. In mexico that probably means something by Italika or Vento, although Bajaj was supposed to start making the Boxer 150 there, and that thing seems to just take over whole countries
>>1599506Terrible seat, no place to hold with your legs, hub motor, aluminum frame from a new manufacturer, display in the frame instead on the bars.
The Honda looks like a blast
>>1599496whats the scooter theft scene like in Mexico City?Will you get sent on a delivery just to set you up for scooter theft?
Over the past few years, the Bay Area has grown into one of the most valuable real estate areas in the world due to Silicon Valley and other booming businesses. More people keep moving in and the mountainous area keeps expanding to meet housing demands. It seems that the transportation infrastructure is not keeping up and traffic is getting worse and worse every year. How do we solve this?
>>1595667>lets keep making it more crowded until it's just like SF and oakland
They're gonna have to allow a lot more of those high-end condos to fix their budget problems.
>>1600231SF should have fully manhattanized in the 70s and 80s, now we're stuck with disgusting glass towers in soma. Oh and it's never gonna get better unless somebody with balls in DC ends the mass importation of pajeet H1B's and other """"""skilled""""" laborers.
>>1595625And who exactly will do all the menial and other poorly paid labour?It's already across the pond in Munich (most expensive large city here in Germany) a problem for hospitals to find nurses because can no one can afford the rents anymore.

post whatever model aircraft you made, or anything homemade that is /n/ related, even rough ideas workpicrel is the owo aeroplane (patent pending)
>>1597890It's more than most people here ever done (since they are all jewish or cluster B disordered).
>>1597672Made this rc plane out of a Lidl chuck glider toy. Does like 60mph with a little 30mm 14000kv edf. Fun as fuck to fly.
>>1598830
>>1597672Pretty retarded layout for an aircraft. Too much stress on the w wing, would rip itself apart in flight. Aerodynamically also stupid, way too much drag. This thing couldn't fly faster than like 250mph ever.
>>1599671o..o.. OvO???
How would /n solve this? Street is 11.5 m
>>1597636don't think it's a german website
>>1599699>Two bikes togetherRetarded. Bikes must travel with traffic to be seen.>busRetarded, disembarking passengers walk directly into the bike lane upon exiting
>>1600020We don't really know if the bus will stop on the street at all.But anyway it's impossible to design a street in this view, you need to know it from above too, and know if the street curves, how hilly it is and know where north-south is, to make an optimal street design, and you also need to know the surrounding streets to know if you can make it one way and to know to what extent you need to make it suitable for different traffic.Where I live, you can have a cycle lane next to a bus lane, but when there's a bus stop, the cycle lane may curve behind the bus stop into the sidewalk so the passengers don't walk straight into the cycle lane.
>>1600038More:For example, this tool requires you to choose either trees or lamps, but you could have alternating lamps and trees. You could also end the trees for a little bit to leave space for cycle parking or food stalls or whatever. You don't need to have everything along the whole street, like this tool expects you to.Hills may change the needs for cycle lanes. If it's downhill one way, you may skip the cycle lane there because the cyclists still can keep a high speed. Curves in the road are important to visibility and maybe to leave enough space for buses to turn. A street that goes north-south may have a bigger need for trees than one that goes east-west, because the north-south streets will have the sun in the south at the hottest time of the day, with no buildings on the side for shade. A street that goes east-west may have the buildings on one side give shadow, which may make trees slightly more skippable.

Project thread after 5 years service i'm gonna restore my touring bike first thing is touching up the paint
>>1598502watching (you) become unstable has been pretty fun. keep it up.
>>1598508rent free
>>1598496i don't know why you think i hate you lol. I know there aren't many posters on this board but I personally don't really shitpost at/with you. you do your thing. It's cool with me. And i have 4 other bikes to ride so not making progress while chilling in my garage messing around with bicycles is all good.
>replies to everyone's posts about himSee, this is why we don't like you.
>>1595859> restoreLooks fine to me. Go ride
what do you think on going full chink (aliexpress) to build a new mtb bike?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Z92BLYv7mk>Aero bike on the cheap ended up quite expensive.lol fucktard anons shilled hambone's aero bike projectfirst off not everyone lives in the UK where you can find a road bike frame in a charity shopand it took well over a year (part 1 uploaded in september 2019) and took things that a normal person wouldn't be able to do like that steerer tube extension thing and the rear wheel alignment gauge
>>1596826you just sound like a crybaby, scared of something on youtube. how does that give your pussy bitch the power to see into Anons bike future? You fucking babies on /n/ are soooo whiny. Here's a cute doggy meme to stop those tears, bitch.
>>1597887
>>1598349were you just raised wrong?
Just buy some cheapo steel frame or something. So long as they don't break all frames are the same besides weight and if you're that obsessed with weight then go workout.
What would happen if cities forced the rail companies to clean up their shit?
>>1595487Cope more whitey. Women might be into monkeys, yet you seem to be less than a monkey because white women prefer blacks over subhumans like you.
>>1599251Fuck off faggot
>>1599278shit coloured hands typed this post
>>1593651...Couldn't you just make it a vital part of the infrastructure? And then prioritize infrastructure maintanance, so both your roads and rails where to a decent, and at least safe, standard?

https://twitter.com/EHEH_Spotter/status/1351517692897988608>On Sunday evening, Dutch air traffic control was asked by pilots of a Boeing 787 of the Mexican airline AeroMexico whether they could perform a low flyby over Amsterdam. The pilots wanted to admire the capital from the air.>"You would wake up the whole of Amsterdam," said an astonished air traffic controller, as can be heard in an audio clip of the conversation between the pilots and the control tower.>"Is there a chance that we will be allowed to fly at 4,000 feet (1,200 meters, ed.) Over Amsterdam?" Air traffic control responded in disbelief and said this was not possible.>The pilots were surprised and said they came up with the idea "because of the new year". However, air traffic control made it clear to the Mexicans that the approximately 60 meter long plane would "wake up all of Amsterdam". However, the air traffic controller advised them "to visit Amsterdam when everything is open again".>The flight in question was AMX26 from Schiphol to Mexico City, which arrived at its destination on Monday at 10:32 AM (Dutch time). The pilots could not only not fly low over the capital, but also had to take off from the Kaagbaan, so that they even took off in the opposite direction.Does /n/ know of any other funny conversations between ATC and pilots?
>>1599127We like to keep the airspace above Amsterdam beaner-free, the city itself is full enough of foreigners.
>>1599130Yeah wouldn't want to sully Pakidam with Mexicans
>>1599131Exactly. Don't want an infection when you've already got aids.
>Its new years man, isn't everyone out gunning their dirt bike engines and doing burnouts / wheelies?
>>1599116Student Pilot climbing out in his clapped out C152 is advised that he hasmilitary jets flying at low leve left to right at 2 miles.Pilot: "Too close for missiles switching to Guns"
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?
>>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.
>>1583743I like this a lot > I like that it completely separates pedestrians and cyclists and walkers and also makes driving faster and easier because you dont have to worry about running over some idiot

who here /brompton/
zizzo liberté is $350 and does almost everything a Brompton can, except having those tiny wheels to suitcase roll it
>>1599367that thing looks uncomfortable and retarded
Are the ones with 24" a noticeable improvement over the standard 20"?
>>159941220's aren't that bad.I can maintain 15-17 mph on mine and even some trails.Plus tires and tubes are easy to find at cheap prices. 24" wheels probably more cushy on rough surfaces but less options for stowing the bike because bigger.
How small do these bikes actually fold? Also where can I get one with a coast brake + 5 speed hub? I feel like that is the ultimate folder. One cable, no exposed gears or derailleur, seems like the perfect application of a hub and a coaster.
