My maglev proposal for China.What do you think?
nah too expensive
I legitimately do not understand the preoccupation some people on this board have with chinese maglev, waco to branson maglev, ougadougou to bujumburi maglev, or any other such irrelevant speculations, and it makes me think the "chang" shitposter might be on to something. Literally what is so boring about the NEC, western europe, taiwan, peninsular malaysia, or japan, that makes these other (irrelevant) places so worthy of your attention? Other than the fact that you see them as probable future colonies for the CCB-Tencent corporation's future workforce, but if that were the case you'd be targeting Taiwan too so it just doesn't make any sense
I don't understand the appeal, especially when they already have an impressive HSR network. The benefits of maglev compared against HSR are very minimal. Maglev pretty much exists as gadgetporn.

What's the most retarded bad faith argument against improving transit and walkability you've come across?I'll start with "But but but, AMERICA'S TOO BIG"
>>1989749you faggots really need to lurk before posting, it's painful. Learn to use the website.

Carcels flying off the rails in this thread and giving proof of every bad faith argument against better transit systems
>>1993571My city has a patchwork bicycle path network and honestly I don't find it too bad, I have certain routes I know that get me to work or the shops and I've got the main routes mapped out in my head. I can stay off main roads, and although there is a compromise of extra turns/ getting on and off of shared paths and perhaps having to slow down in parks it's still quite good, crucially it gets me where I need to be without too much danger.
>>1993301Fair, I agree it only takes that 1/100 experience of a schizo to turn you off it, and most people (especially women) feel more threatened by that stuff.I also find the same that high traffic/ volume usually means less schizos. Really the schizos have little to do all day so I think them hopping on a train or bus is just something for them to do.
What are the most /n/ films?For me its Kontroll, the hungarian masterpiece>Opens with a budapest transit official say they were happy to help make this film, but please don't think it reflects on our actual service>Entirely set in the subway>Excellent soundtrack

Supertrain, from 1979. A broad-gauge atomic-powered luxury train, the show was trying to be "Love Boat" on rails. It was pretty awful. You can find some of the episodes on Youtube.
>>1992471Is it? Was there any transit in it at all?
Something nice to him.
>>1993806fucking hell kill me
America has globally, objectively low commute times. And generally the more public transit usage and walking there is the longer the commute.
>>1993653I think you're confused, urbanism is all about ethnic cleansing and eugenics. You're on the same team here bud. Friendly fire. Blue on blue.
>>1993668Eh, I just want to be able to use EITHER method without being subject to government overreach, but the huge number of illegals is overloading public services including the road network and public transport. Making this possible would mean spending tax payers money on the citizens for once, instead of throwing it down the drain on vanity projects and foreign wars. We should be worrying about our own borders, not Ukraine’s. I like what Vivek Ramaswamy said about how we can build a better world by focusing on ourselves rather than flying off to globalist conferences
>>1993673>I like what a brown immigrant said about banning immigration and international travel

>>1993779i really do prefer loading the front before the rear, but the boxes were just too bulky to fit between the bars. i'm just really clumsy and forgetful. it took me a solid month to adjust to riding clipless before i could complete a ride without failing to unclip and falling. falling sucks, accidents happen. just hopefully harmless non-fatal ones.
Does it still count as 1 (one) ride if I change bikes inbetween? Thinking about doing a century tomorrow
>>1993783y...yeah>>1993782some people are just not as physically gifted in coordination.Like those people at school who ran weird.
>>1991356>first time riding fixed gear>first time also using a foot retention system>immediately get launched over the front trying to learnhad to switch back to platforms. Fuck me does this burn my quads. I'm pretty sure my fit is dialed in but I guess I'm just really inefficient with pedaling on freewheels
Is there anything more based than 90s mountain bikes?

>>1993788they're honestly not as fragile as people seem to portray them to bebut what the fuck is that lolit's kind of a reddit meme machine though, so i wouldn't expect much. i wouldn't surprised if this was taken from some subreddit, honestly.
Grew up on 90s MTBs in the 00s, fell for the fixie meme around high school and college '10s, and now that I have $$$ I really don't care for peak performance Road nor MTB. I just want to cruise around the same dirt roads and trails around me in no rush. I had a gravel bike, it was okay. I saw what you guys meant by being under biked.Money sorta isn't an issue and for the first time ever I can afford high end shit, but instead of listing after the latest full suspension trail bike or high end proper gravel bike, I just want some old school and as simple as possible.... but capable of mild trails and dirt roads. I had some trek with 35mm tires. A Giant Fathom 29er.... KHS Zaca... Cannondale F400 I just get bored and want something different, not necessarily/better/None of my friends care to ride. I don't like group rides. I Don't like riding on the street.What should I get? It has to be all black and I'll put on a Brooks saddle.
Just get any old black steel bike and pick all the parts yourself.If you don't know what parts to pick, go to rivendell, they specialize in selling slow shit to clueless people who just want to spend money
>>1993793>old school and as simple as possible.... but capable of mild trails and dirt roads.80s/90s mtb. but a really nice one.
just go used.>mild trails+dirt roadsoptimal for a 90's or early 2k mtb.I find them all simple besides cantilever setup, but if that's annoying v-brakes fit.With extra dough just get a nicer model like a klein, bontrager, fat chance, ritchey, or whatever you like.
What the fuck is wrong with these mongoloid slackers? They completely underschedule longhaul trains everywhere outside the NEC so almost no one can use them for shorter trips and then wonder why ridership is in the shitter. Each route should be minimum 3x a day per direction.
>>1992160The Civil Rights Act / EEOC creates an effect I call the Shaneequa Event Horizon, where because sassy black women are impossible to "out diversity" (because they vote 96% for Democrats) any federal agency will eventually fill up with them until the agency fails at its core responsibilities and they get outsourced. If this happened to Amtrak and passenger rail got deregulated we'd see a 10x in available trains.
>>1992161If passenger rail got deregulated it would become a shitshow like every other deregulated industry that immediately cuts corners for profit see also Boeing and their ```airplanes'''.
>>1992023is commuting via the hiawatha service at all reasonable or worth it? I want to avoid living in Chicago and Milwaukee seems comfy
>>1992161I don't think there's another board where people are this committed to blaming anything and everything on minorities. Pinch flat? The jews did this. Train delay? Pajeets. Plane crash? It was trannies. Shipwreck? The blacks. Crosstheaded the pedals on your dumpster dive OTS? The blacks again.Granted I only go on /g/, /ck/, /lgbt/, and /n/. Maybe that's not a full cross section.
>>1993792That's not what deregulations mean.
Why are people who like public transport so gay?It's honestly weird being straight if you're in a trainspotting community but why, what's the cause of the train autists being so gay is it because no women like trains
How much does this stuff annoy you train autists? I love trains but in a different way to you

Looks like shit, it's not that I inherently hate graffiti when done right and with permission but that shit doesn't mesh well with the livery at all
Why are you destroying the environment with your discount bargain bin chinese carbon wheels with no warranty, when you could be saving the environment with the revolutionary new FusionFiber™ that come with a lifetime, no questions asked replacement coverage for the original owner? Sure it costs about 3x as much but think of the moral superiority it gets youThe only problem is it's made in Utah which is full of crazy people, which kinda negates the moral superiority, I'd almost rather send money directly to the CCP at that pointAlso discuss wheels and stuff
Bikebros needs your advice. I wanted to buy a 29' Vittoria Terreno XCR for my BobCat 5, but at the moment they are too expensive for me.What would be a good alternative to these tires, but not tubeless and cheaper? Please help, im just new to this and afraid that's tires will be too soft for the road.
>>1993601softness of the tire is based on pressure, tire casing, and volume.Also, if you go 5-10 psi below max psi your tire will be hard unless you weigh 300lbs.Oh, and for XC mtbing a michelin country racer looks good.If you are talking mostly road and a little off road continental race king 29's would be good.kenda small block 8 is a classic cheaper tire.For more road a wtb byway could be good if you are looking for just side knobs.Panaracer gravelking sk is similar.Just look for something you like and try it out. Look for deals.
Bros, with 29mm inner rim, tires 700x35c will be smol? Im noob with this thing, and can't understand for now sadly. Please help
>>1991688This shit made me laugh
>>1993747Yes. Back in the day (90's) we were running 28c tires with 13mm inner rim, and 2.0in(50mm) tires on 19mm inner rim.Larger inner rim width gives more air volume to the air tire and is better for aero. So if you are racing a 32 or 35mm tire would be perfect for a 29mm inner rim.The 29mm inner rim is probably a great 29er mtb size.
Please post BIG or otherwise interesting at-grade railroad crossings.
Another one, on the "interesting" side of the scale. Don't mind me, I'm just parking in a lot.
>What bags do you use>What do you carry>Why are all saddle bags shit
>/BAG/Bike ass general?
panniers and frame bags remind me of old people. I use a backpack. What backpacks do you non-boomers use?
>>1993711>Cheap pannier racks are pointless and will sheer off at the bolts the moment you put any load on them and hit a bumpNo one is forcing you to overload your rear rack to the point of catastrophic failure. Solutions like pick related are aerodynamic and give you storage space that doesn't wobble and flap around. If you stay within the weight limit (usually 25kg/55lbs), they'll never break. And even if you were extremely paranoid and only used 50% of that, you'd still have a very practical option for extra space on your bike.
>>1993764l2read haven
>>1993711there is an inbetween of a $10 amazon rack and a $400 ti tubus rack. how do you carry anything bulky? what if you have to carry a lot of stuff? panniers are great and don't have to cost an exorbitant amount of money, same with racks.
