>cycling on sidewalks is... le misdemeanor! >you should drive on the streets with a speed limit under 50 km/hname a more braindead law than this, jesus fucking christ99% of people riding bicycles do it all their lifeI am convinced the only reason this law exists is so that the ONE time some cop(s) with nothing better to do blocks your path, they can milk you for fines and report all your personal info to the big brother systemthe whole fucking point of a bicycle is that you are not a car and that you can go places cars cannot, but carbrained lawyers the want to regulate the shit out of it for some reason, even in le walkable non-carbrained EU cityfuck I'm so pissed off right now

>>1989520about 15 years ago I saw a teenager riding his bike on a sidewalk, and some middle aged man punched him right in the face as he went past. The man was totally confused when the entire mcdonnalds ran out and surrounded him until police came.

>>1998967well, I just checked my Shimano BB tool made by park against my Shimano HyperGlide cassette cracker and lockring and they are NOT compatible with each other.wrong circumference, wrong number of teeth and spacing .maybe sram? maybe sensah and microshift just went ahead and made both into one standard. that would make sense to do if you were starting from scratch like they did

JR Central has issued a stop work order on their maglev Shinkansen as Gifu Pref. water levels around the construction site have gotten very low as a result of JR's tunneling. Local residents, rice farmers, local government are obviously upset:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8MZkEjDU6MDaily reminder (now former) Shizuoka Pref. governor was right all along and JR Central is doing their build out haphazardly and on the cheap. Why are these greedy fucks incapable of doing it properly? It really doesn't cost that much to hire a few extra hydrologists and understand what is going in the environment of where you want to build something. Say what you will about JRTT, but at least they're a scam to enrich the buyers of local politicians instead of JR Central's scam to defraud local governments for the benefit of their shareholders.

>they used to serve McDonald's Happy Meals on United flights.we used to be a real country
>>1992815>Back in the comfy days airfare was so expensive only quality white people could afford to fly, which is why things were so nice.Not arguing this, but also remember a lot of things used to be included that aren't anymore. Seat selection wasn't a "luxury", almost everybody gave you at least 1 free bag, carry-ons were unregulated, priority boarding wasn't a thing, etc. Add all that on to your basic United economy fare and you'll find it works out to at least $600 round trip.Now we have people who can't afford to be flying burning up what little savings they have because the priceline commercial told them that they and their 7 kids deserve a vacation, while making flying a living hell for literally everyone else involved.
>>1992818>You need to inflate using %GDPWhat does microsoft and google spending has to do with the affordability of air travel for the common man?>Fucksake learn how capital, wages and profits work.Marxist/Keynsian economists are the last people to listen to about economics.
>>1992885I think you are overestimating the amount of additional cost for the services that have been monetized, but that has allowed the creation of a flying nigger class which opts out of those 'luxuries'. Still, when you look at the overall cost of tickets since 1990 has trended down, even as the cost of fuel has gone up, which of course is a major driver of cost. We are left with a cheaper, lower quality product; just like most things we buy today.https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/airfare-inflation/https://www.statista.com/statistics/204740/retail-price-of-gasoline-in-the-united-states-since-1990/
i'm always a little amazed at the way some corporates had their shit together to pull stuff like this off. putting out ads like "call any travel agent, tell them you want mcdonalds served to you right there on the plane, like a fucking maniac" and then it would actually happen.>>1992815i had the same thought and found $260 rt on UA ($110 on F9). airfare staying the same nominal price is an insane feature of the last half century

Not polished yet: https://close.city/https://vxtwitter.com/NatMakesMaps/status/1776259750310912335It's an interactive map to show the best places for transportation and walkability. The default is Grocery + Library which makes the map really really narrowly defined and there's no real way to weight the options, so I recommend disabling Library and/or using just one at a time. But it does an incredible job of highlighting walkability and would make a great tool for deciding where to develop or move
>>1990432Walkability and anti-car is a leftist ideology. But I'm actually positively surprised that even some rightoids are getting into it, even if they bring undesirable prejudiced opinions with them. In the end, paving the way for more walkable, humane cities just like the old days is a conservative point, if anything. It's also progressive because it makes people more united and open-minded.In the end, people complaining about the discourse are just a bunch of centrist neolibs who suck the dick of the status quo. And that includes (You).Thankfully, just like every status quo sucker, you will be trampled by the zeitgeist. You people are in the wrong side of history
>>1990219they're poor
>>1997232I’m not anti-car, I just don’t want the government to FORCE people into using cars. Ergo we give all modes of transport equal priority and funding. That’s the best for the city’s transportation system and economy.

I work from home so I don't care, I also hate cyclists when I'm driving and cars when I'm cycling.
Do you wear a helmet while riding your bicycle?
>>1968470I rode with no helmet for years, and suddenly I got a "fast bike" and that sentiment changed. People close to me nag the shit out of me when I just want to go for a cruise without a helmet. I know my path to work / neighbourhood, so it seems unreasonable. But conversely, I'd be worried if they didn't wear one.
other than looking like a fag (you already do, you are riding a bicycle) i can't really think of a reason not to wear one. but seriously, does anyone look cool riding a bike? maybe the one guy on the cover of that real volume where he is riding on the seaside but that is not real life. mr romance looks kinda cool, but he smokes so maybe that just cancels out the fact that he's riding a bike.

Confess your sins, /n/.
>>1998198For road I ride on the bike trail and I tend to mog half of the people since they don't take it seriously. Serious riders I can pass some of them on the flats, but I am 40 years younger, riding a 40 year old bike.On the mtb I get wrekt when they climb faster then me. I have ridden on nicer bikes and it doesn't help as much as you think unless it has a motor, or you are actually riding bsos.Something like a current 3k usd bike for sale at 2k would be plenty good. Or a used high spec bike from the 2000's found for under 500 can be damn fast.
>>1998200You know how they say it's not the bike it's the engine? In practice there is no meaningful difference, nobody is putting a ferrari v12 into a pontiac aztek. If you see a geriatric riding a very expensive bike it's invariably either something weird like a calfee, or increasingly these days, it's just an ebike with some superficial "real bike" features like a bottle cage and maybe drop bars.

At the next light fred will catch up and blow the light only to be gapped again a few hundret meters down the road. Then theres police constantly harrassing you, searching for imaginary motors and dropping comments after not finding any.

Texas DOT went on a camera bagging spree at Starbase. Looks like a crackdown on vehicle mounted live cams parked on the side of the road. Other cams on private property are safe. Maybe the number of car cams is getting out of hand. LP, NSF and WAI all have them and probably a few smaller channels too.

It disgusts me how today's so-called "cycling activists" are doing the work of the automotive lobby while thinking that they're the good guys.Imagine if a bunch of politicians started pushing for a special residential area for a certain group, after having them habitually assaulted with weapons for many years. "We're terribly sorry about all the bloodshed but can't guarantee your safety, if you want to be safe, you have to go in this special place we designated for you".That is what bike lanes are. We've tried "separate but equal". It doesn't work, because tyranny of the majority means a highly flexible definition of "equal".People who have been riding bikes for many decades know what the game is. But zoomers and corona cyclists believe they know best. Instead of demanding justice, they demand segregation. Which is exactly what the automotive supremacists want.
Daily reminder that the people who want to force you to use bike lanes for your own protection also curiously support summary executions for cyclists who don't obey they rules that they intentionally make impossible to follow
>>1955863youre AGAINST bike lanes? the fuck are you smoking. its what needs to be done every bike heavy country like germany and netherlands has bike lanes, its well tested
>>1998029You mean the country that says my taillights can't blink or I'll be arrested? The country that says I'm not allowed to have a headlight stronger than the LED on my surge protector? Oh but those things are fine for cars.>spoiler, yes, you are
>>1963333>I used to bike by taking the lane and being assertive when I lived in Boston and got doored by a squatemalan and had a boomer follow me home and threaten to kill me.Good.
>>1998029I think the different here is the design of the roads and bike lanes as well as the people here. Some of the bike lanes here are just straight up designed retardedly, made by people who don't ride, created as an afterthought only to prevent another lawsuit against the city for unsafe infrastructure. Then you have the people who block the bike lanes on the street because they think it's delivery parking space, uber pickup/dropoff, or the same as the multi use path at the park with people slowly walking 2 to 3 abreast. The worst in "protected" bike lines is that it limits a biker's avenues of escape. There's right ways and wrong ways to build bike lanes but the politicians and planners here have shit for brains when it comes to proper bicycle infrastructure because they don't ride.
