>>1993831Ah, whatever, you're no fun.
>>1993528>"precision railroading"No, that's just a term for corporate greed. Prior to the late 1990s, railroads were run properly in this country and you could still have your small business shipped to by rail.
America has globally, objectively low commute times. And generally the more public transit usage and walking there is the longer the commute.
>>1993653There are two types of urbanist, regressives and revivalist. Revivalist want to make neighborhoods more beautiful, quieter, and less like a freeway by actually understanding the traffic situation and finding areas of improvement. They want transit so that people can get around in different ways. They want to emulate good models of transit from elsewhere in their own home city. Regressives see urbanism as a path of social justice. They go on Plebbit and whine about cars all day. They once watched a Vox video telling them how highways were racist and tore up black neighborhoods, and now think tearing down every highway is a solution, and their ideas of "traffic calmed neighborhoods" means absolutely no vehicles, even ignoring delivery trucks and haulage. They're a lazy imitation of the nuanced opinions you see on most urban revival forums.
>>1993855A lot of them are throwing quality of life out of the equation. So many arguments are centred around efficiency. And if you say anything contrary you’re a selfish bigot, according to them. The interesting thing is that a lot of urbanists are left wing or at least left leaning, but at the same time the government and big businesses absolutely love urbanism because they can maximise profits and control. It’s like intensive farming. Same basic principles. A lot of it is driven by envy or general dislike for cars, as it has become fashionable to dislike private motorised transport. I was recently in a village. It was beautiful. But it was also empty. Nobody there. About the most life you saw was some birds or something. It’s an unfortunate fact that humans are loud, noisy, smelly and messy. If you live in a city you have to put up with it. If they’re not revving cars with pop and bang maps at 4 am they are playing loud music in the apartment next door or letting their dogs bark for hours. Part of the reason public transport works so well in Japan is the culture of respect. You’d get thrown off if you tried to be one of those stereotypical loud mouths who has to tell the whole room your life story. I’m all for minimal regulations and dealing with the actual troublemakers instead of laying down blanket rules and ruining everyone’s fun or quality of life
>>1993860>A lot of them are throwing quality of life out of the equation>being able to afford to live within walking/biking distance of your job, friends, public spaces, grocers and stores, and healthcare is poor quality of lifeGrow the fuck up man.>It’s an unfortunate fact that humans are loud, noisy, smelly and messy>proceeds to bitch about car noisesLike pottery
>>1993868Not complaining about car noises, I’m literally planning to run a high flow exhaust with a resonator delete among other things. Difference is I don’t go 2 step rev banging or drifting in the hood. Furthermore I have a shop in walking distance. Two actually. Both are expensive cause there’s little competition unless you hop in a car and drive some distance. You urbanists don’t have a clue what you’re talking about most of the time. As the other post said, some want to improve transport links and others are just moaning about traffic for the sake of it
>>1993868You’re also assuming your job and needs will (A) all be provided for and (B) affordable. It’s common here to hop in a car and drive to get to shops that are further away because it saves money. If I’m only able to go to one within walking distance you bet they’ll put the prices up. They can and they do. Then you’ve got the fact that rich people will get all the best stuff while the poorer of society will have second rate services. You’ve basically introduced segregation, well done. There’s absolutely no guarantee a job will be available for my skill set in the locality either. unless we all go back to farming and have work on our literal doorstep, you will continue to see commuting. But nobody wants that life, it’s hard and stressful.

Al Maktoum International Airport, commencing construction of the building at a cost of AED 128 billion>over 400 gates>capacity for 260m passengers a year>5 terminals>5 times the size of the current airport>DXB will transfer all operations here in '10 years time'what do we think lads
Is this really necessary? Are DXB and SHJ both at capacity? Not to mention AUH is like an hour away.
Isn't DWC already in operation?For some reason many flights to Russia leave from there, requiring a landside transfer from DXB to DWC.
I’m starting to feel overwhelmed. I’m 21 years old about to be a co pilot with aircraft equipped with PT6 engines, this is the first time I will be flying a a turbo prop aircraft and I’m baffled. I’m so used to flying 4cylinders 6 cylinders aircraft and aircraft with POH of like 300 pages but now it has 1000 pages. Is it normal to feel overwhelmed? Like what is your advice? I know the basic of how the pt6 works, I understand it. And honestly, the process seems so much more simple. What do ?

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
>>1990219Currently in hospital recovering surgery after cager attack. Not the first time. And by far not the first injury or crash caused by cager attack. Ironically my father, terminally cageoid himself, just weeks before my recent incident, broke a leg and ankle in a cager attack. My grannie, cager herself, just months before that, got her car flattened by a lorry. Miraculously survived. My aunt, survivor of a prior stroke, was riding shotgun when hit by a speeding cager loosing control, lots of injury and pain for her.And none of this tells of all the indirect collateral damage motorists cause to society and environment. Health, climate, flora and fauna, stress, obesity, loss of empathy, messed up markets for housing and crippled cities to name just a few.Sure, in general and in most peoples experience the automobile is a very useful, empowering and convenient technology, for those who aren't ashamed to be dependent on crutches like a cripple. This experience tho can suddenly and drastically shift. It does so for few, maybe it wont for Anon. But if it does it's usually tragic.
>>1990432Maybe the correlation noted here has more to do with the similarities if not identity of the traits of motorists and certain people ? You know, blatant disregsrd, even disdain for fellow man, laziness and low drive, mental weakness that rivals that of the body, total lack of responsibility, raging consumerism and terminal addiction to comfort and the easy way ... to name a few.
>>1993832You know, if it's happening to you so frequently then it's probably not the cagies that try to get you under their wheels.
>>1993850And here he comes, that one guy that will now fail to span the gap between 'it's accidents, it's not like cageoids do it on purpose' and 'I would never cause such incident while piloting my murdermachine'. Choose one.

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.
In my old home town, virtually every thoroughfare with at least four lanes already has their level crossings replaced by bridges, the only exceptions being in our harbour (pic rel), branching off like this onto very minor terminals or company grounds, and in our outward industrial areas, which haven't seen rail traffic in literally decades

>>1993735WHAT THE FUCK !? If he is chafing quads on the nose it's likely he's on too wide of a tread. Just suggest something that'll at least mask ome issue. Good way to kill knees.>>1993488Are your knees tracking close to the top tube ? Closer than your pedals ? Are you chafing unilateral ? You might be on too wide a tread width already, with your feet out too wide for your hip socket distance and associated anatomy your body will compensate by knocking your knees in at the top of the stroke (its a straight line at the bottom of the stroke and all the angularity is absorbed by the hip joint). Knocking your knees in might cause saddle rub. Extensing pedals may solve saddle rub but aggrevate the underlying problem. Knees are meant to bend in one plane. Be sure you know what you are doing before doing anything stupid.Most modern saddles come in at least two sizes and they're all shaped differently. If you have extremely narrow sitbones, like me, try out some extremely narrow saddles. That would solve alot of issues at once.What's your bb ? 68mm ? Got a road double on it ? If you're on a MTB fatbike or idk what you know whats up.

>>1993764That thing costs more than a Tubus though.
>>1992738Went from rack & panniers to rack & picrel on the daily recently. No pics of install bc currently in hospital bc murdercage attack.Reasoning: Never had, wanted to try next after trying several options for several years each. The weight penalty (together both are 2,6 kg) is not an issue on the daily. They are neat and can not be taken by some lowlife. When not in use and folded ultra aero. So no need to take off the bike and store when not in use to avoid theft and aero penalty. Also my panniers tend to accumulate grit from the road and sometimes water inside, as such I put delicate things to go inside seperately anyways. So the folding baskets requirement to pack things water and grime tight isn't exclusive to it.
Only pic I seem to have. Still using the same bags but carrying significantly less junk now.>front: old Ortlieb 22L drybag I had lying around strapped in a harness, camping gear and down puffy/gloves>fork: food (if no resupply for 3 days or more) or water in arid environments, otherwise nothing>frame: spares, tools, food, water>saddle bag: clothes & rain gear
A thread to discuss bike touring - bikes, routes, gear, stories, etc.
>>1993579beautiful, thanks for sharing herr anonym , you actually pick some decent routes. Are these all recorded tracks? remind me how you charge your stuff (including drone?) without solar? I would never share the places where I camp.I like that yellow and light blue tracks, I can see that you feel the calling of the Central and eastern europe, but I hope this summer you will fell that beautiful loire valley and bretagne and cantabrian coast.Also you kinda doxed yourself, be careful or you'll have the deutsche rentenversicherung inquiring about the authenticity of your autism diagnosis.
>>1993597>>1993597>Are these all recorded tracks?Almost all of them, except for the small trip to Vienna across Czechia and back, and the trip to the northernmost point of Denmark. Lost the gpx files, which were only stored on my Garmin back then, in a bad accident way back. Had to reconstruct the tracks based on memory and pictures. They should be fairly precise though.>remind me how you charge your stuff (including drone?) without solar?Four power banks and and a dynamo hub USB charger. No drones. Enough for over a week without accomodation. I use my phone a lot.>but I hope this summer you will fell that beautiful loire valley and bretagne and cantabrian coast.I already went through Brittany on one of my trips to the British Isles, which is not on the map yet. I like France a lot, probably my favorite country outside of Eastern Europe and the Balkans. But yeah, Iberia really needs some love along with Scandinavia. I am not particularly fond of the latter though, and Spain/Portugal aren't really summer destinations for bike touring. Hate the mosquitoes in summer anyway. I sleep outside a lot. >Also you kinda doxed yourselfNah. The starting and end points you're probably talking about are obviously not accurate at all.
