I flew down to the Bay Area to take a journey on the Niles Canyon Railway's mysterious and rarely traveled Eastern branch aboard the M200 Railbus. The last of its kind still operating, the M200 once served the California Western Railroad as a literal schoolbus for children. Today is its first publicly available excursion in several years.

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?

Not a single fucking shop in Ontario wants to touch electric stand-on kick scooters for any reason.

I'm not going all the way to Toronto to fix a single wiring issue that killed the throttle after driving through an ankle-deep puddle.

Google keeps bringing up Durham E-Bikes Sales and Service which specifically says in their website "SORRY WE DO NOT SERVICE STAND-ON KICK SCOOTERS".

What is with these things that make repair shops so scared of them?

With how popular they are getting there are gonna be a LOT of angry stranded scooter users when they start breaking down.

why are you fucks like this

I am currently using a xiaomi smart band 9 to track my rides (so thats GPS from phone + HR from band), I start and end the ride from the band and the app automatically transfers the route, speed and heart rate to strava
I am wondering if I should upgrade to a bike computer cus I am not worried about how much calories I burn nowadays, as I got the idea of it. I just want to know how far I went and how long it took me, and to keep track of cadence so I learn to ride optimally
I have been looking at XOSS G2+ (pic related) with 2 sensors - one for cadence on crank and other on rear hub for speed (rotation)
my questions about bike computers in general are:
>do the bike computer accessories (cadence, speed, HR) connect to it, or to the phone
>does only the bike computer connect to your phone and stay connected constantly, or only to transfer data to strava or an app once the ride finishes?
>can I just get on my bike and ride, and the bike computer will then automatically upload my ride to strava once I am done?
>can I still use my xiaomi band 9 to measure my HR? will I be able to see my HR on the screen? or the bike computer only connects to HR sensors and not other "smart" devices
>should I get a bike computer with an actual screen to show maps/route?
>should I even get a bike computer to begin with, I am riding actual gravel and trails, basically exploring my region on weekends and driving 2-3 times to work a week, will the sensors and shit survive the rough terrain?
>will my mechanical watch (8 year old skx007) get fucked by the vibrations from the single/double track?
Thanks

Hey /n/, what strategies do you use to mitigate ass pain and skin health? I only experience deep muscular soreness on very long rides, but as I get older my skin is getting irritated more often. Painful red bumps crop up and ruin the ride. I hit them with neosporin and cover with a bandage, which works, but I want to prevent them in the first place. I always ride with a clean ass and clean undies, but now those padded cycling shorts are suddenly making more sense. I might even pick up some chamois cream even though the idea always seemed gross to me.
Anyway, how bout you? Is your ass chapped like mine? Tips from ass masters would be appreciated.

Cyclists of /n/, do you wear a lot of loud obnoxious advertising logos on yourself when you ride?

That’s right, they know…

hello /n/, i’m a so called mechanical designer (shameless larp) that makes trains half the time.

i’m constantly seeking inspiration to base things off for my fictional railway, mostly locomotives

any sort of piece of rolling stock of any era and country is appreciated

What model of bus is this? At first I thought it was a GM New Look Bus but the windows are all wrong. This was filmed in Taipei during the late 80s
That ribbed stainless steel look is so sexy

When the FUCK is the Northeast going to get High Speed Rail? Why does it take 9 hours to go from Pittsburgh to Philly? 4 hours to go NYC to Boston?

Flight attendants were required to be hot and single until you know who ruined it in the mid 1980s

Can /n/ help me out with my pet project?

I'm trying to design a modern turboprop flying boat transport that seats 80 passengers in a 5-abreast layout. It would be powered by two PW150's in an overhead push-pull pod similar to pic related, but with a V-tail to keep clear of the propwash, and retractable wing floats. The wings will be unswept with a front taper.

On my to-do list is to decide what de-icing, radar and hydraulic systems to use, but one problem I haven't been able to work out is how baggage would be loaded on to the plane if the cargo hold sits below the waterline.

Is riding bicycles gay?

Why don't they anodize aluminum aircraft? Surely it would be many pounds lighter.

>Ctrl + F
>No grassy tram thread
We can fix that.

How does /n/ feel about recumbent bikes?
They seem to get a bad rap from snobby cyclists but they look more comfortable and are apparently faster on flats.

I'm not a bike guy. More into knives, guns, swords but I needed a form of transportation and got a "JETSON BOLT PRO X".

There's not a lot of info on the interwebs on it. I can't tell if it's a brand new model or not. What do y'all think of it? I saw Ebikes that looked more like traditional bikes and was wondering what the pros and cons where for this "scooter" style frame with the small wheels vs a trad bike frame/size.

What would y'all modify on this thing? I'm considering taking the dinky little bell on it off.

This is literally the biggest waste of tax payer money ever.
>300 million dollars for
>Despite it being claimed to be a rapid transit corridor the actual rapid part will only work during weekday rush hour only service so 6am to 9am and 3pm to 6pm
>A new Park and Ride Garage with kiss and ride (Oh look honey let's have a moment at the public transit garage, it will be so romantic, we will be harassed, assaulted, and robbed by homeless bums who smell like they haven't washed their asscheeks in decades)
>Completely unnecessary Island Platforms at grade with fare gates as if all the negras won't just get on the platform from the side
>Train gates with slow ass loading times that will back up traffic, and the retarded southflorida carbrains that don't know how ROW works will cause hit the buses, and get hit by them
>Ron DeCraptas will piss and shit his diapers once all of the retarded South Dade residents write complaints to the mayor about the failure railgates and he will ban rail-gates from the state and will say some dumb shit like this in the press conference "Train passengers will have to wait at the lights just like the rest of us do" and end up completely killing all non-grade separated train service in the state.
>But it's probably not going to get to that point because FDOT is planning to do an assessment in 6months to determine if the rail gates are worth keeping, defeating the whole purpose of even spending 100 million dollars, let alone 300 on the corridor
Why are spics so fucking retarded, I hope Miami gets hit by back to back Category 5 hurricanes just like Tampa did

My wife left me. I genuinely want to kill myself now. I have no more reason to live, my daughter hates me. God I hate this company too and flying alll the annoying passengers. I’m losing my shit

What is stopping cities from buying a fleet of these things and renting them out like Citi bikes?

So I’m a young co pilot at a legacy American Airlines. I fly long haul flights. Im super asocial yet I im intriguing when socializing (im not like a stuttering retard, I’m mysterious). I hate traveling around the world and meeting new people. When I have to meet a new person or new colleague, I go into a panic, I can’t trust anyone. Also I’m scared if I get a heart attack or something health related, no one will try to help me. Also every crew I’ve flown with has talk behind my back because I don’t show up at their stupid diners. Most captains have said they didn’t like my “lack of respect for authority and procedure”. This isn’t official, but some insider guy told me I’m number 1 on the list for the person no pilot wants to fly with

Can we finally admit disc brakes are better than rim brakes?

So everyone who rides a bike is presented with the same choice:
>a. split your head open on the road
>b. don't

and you're telling me most people pick option a?

>throw away the based PE because gas will be cheap forever and freeway is big
>have to rebuild it again not even 30 years later because gas is fucking expensive and the freeway clogged to shit
>It's not even as much track or usable as PE because public owned rail is slow and shit
I hate post WWII America so much it's unreal

Why are trainheads so obsessed with the arbitrary distinction of "high speed rail"?
Especially in America where we barely have any passenger rail in the first place. Sure it would be nice to have trains that go fast, but wouldn't you rather first have any trains at all? Insisting that all new passenger rail be "high speed" just makes it exponentially more expensive to build and less likely that anything will ever happen. See picrel.

Damn wtf are we supposed to do

Haven't EV buses essentially rendered trolleybuses obsolete? They have all the benefits of electrification with the flexibility of ICE buses, lower infrastructure costs, and cities don't have to deal with the visual pollution caused by trolley wires.
It seems to me that the only places for trolleybuses in the modern era are extremely cold and hilly regions, where the battery of an electric bus might not be able to keep up.

Are bikes for gaylords and pensioners?

Accept it

Usecase for more than 1 engine on a commercial plane?

What could I expect w*rking as a seasonal transit operator for the winter season in park city?
Split shift?
