Best flying experience in the world, is a seat in the 747 hump. So quiet and cool. All the drinks and snacks you want. Never wait on a toilet. Room to stand up and stretch.

Because it was created on paper and in reality way before the 777X program.

>OP willingly sets foot on any Boeing aircraft

At least with a hanging or intentional OD your family isn't left wondering if you're still alive for weeks on end. Taking a Boeing aircraft is worse than suicidal.

Please look at the previous thread and see if you can answer any unanswered questions.

I have only bought one bicycle off Craigslist but that looks like a horrible deal

Which way do you wrap your handlbars? Parktools says bottom to middle but my old man has it the opposite way so that your sweaty hands don't slip down tape.

Cloth handlebar tape if it matters.

completely agree. all road cyclists who insist on using the motorway instead of the fucking sidewalk should be required to have a license with road cycle endorsement, a license plate (registered bicycle), and insurance.

Think about what you're asking

Not an F-22, just a small super sonic jet built for fun.

>>1094637
You generally can't fly those over land without special arrangements. Which means over water only. Which means in flight refueling

You would need a much larger airframe to have enough gas to get anywhere supersonically without a tanker to help, and that pretty much rules out a small agile personal fun jet

You can of course buy military jets that are no longer wanted

There's a company in florida that has like 100 of them but they use them to train military pilots under contract, not pleasure flight

Pedal assist is an interesting and promising technology with potentially broad applications for commuters, sport, casual, and professional riders.

Without knowing anything else about the thingy you posted, I am going to assume that it is hot garbage based on the fact that it is different for the sake of different.

Based on the fact that you posted a shitty piece of shit that doesn't even have foot retention, I can tell you don't know enough about bicycles to actually benefit from pedal assist.

>>1090676
No clue if it works, but I did see the Kickstarter for the one OP posted, and I like the concept - swap the rear wheel, not the entire bike, and adjust the settings through a smartphone app.

Pretty much the only pedal assist/e-bike option I'd consider because it means I can use my existing bike.

Abus Bordo Ecolution

Just take your bike in the store and walk around with it

A strong D lock that fits around the rear wheel and the frame at the same time. Plus another lock for the front wheel to deter casual thieves.
I'd actually consider getting a skewer lock, since it's a lighter way to secure your wheels.

That'd actually be a pretty solid system if North Korea ever cooled down and became a respected nation

Good luck operating a subway across the American border these days.

You want to search for ebike stores in your area and try them. For some reason ebikes companies have their own stores and bike stores don't touch them.

This is one of those situations like phones and other memey tech bullshit where the internet is useless because all the useful information is drowned out by hype and marketing.

What kills the e-bikes is the 25kph speed limit. Totally worthless for road bikes and seriously limits MTB use. That being said, are you looking at road or MTB?

Electric bicycle is a concept completely beyond my understanding. Seriously, why? Why not an electric scooter or even a moped if you need motor assist? Why not a recumbent if you'd like to go fast not under UCI designations? Why carry that heavy ass bike everywhere for, what, 60 minutes of lighter ride?
I dimply don't get it.

When I first got rid of my cage and embraced basic human decency, I bought a bunch of discount garbon crap to stick all over my crabon full sus MTB. Bars, seatpost, etc. Felt like a real pro.

Lately I don't really have anything "fancy", I have "expensive" stuff but all of the "expensive" stuff was expensive for a reason so, not overpriced. I've gotten pretty good at figuring out exactly what I need and why.

Probably my most frivolous lately was my leather Giro shoes that were like twice as much as I came to the store planing on spending, I decided to try them on as a joke and realized I had to have them because they are awesome, so I bought them even though they're kinda pointless bling.

Nice saddles for my commuter. I know some nigger is going to steal it but I keep buying them after suffering with one of my trash saddles for 6 months.

I wouldn't know. I'm not freight.

metro is falling apart, literally on monday night the train i was meant to catch pulled into the platform with no power, and that section of the line was shut down the rest of the night

LIRR is typically reliable (within five minutes of schedule at worst) when there aren't troubles with the East River Tunnels or Penn Station.

The most reliable branches are those that typically do not serve Penn Station (West Hempstead, Hempstead, and Far Rockaway).

explain

>>1093990
Means trolley would have tended to mean more of an interurban type of large railroad carriage. I think, back in the boom (the bubble really, and the burst was when 6000 km of electrified urban rail got unceremonially dismantled) years these were manufactured a lot by the various independent railroad carriage manufacturers, by sticking GE-supplied power electronics into them.

Meanwhile, streetcar would have drawn its heritage from the originally horse drawn town tramways, so these systems tended to serve very locally, and had reduced loading gauge for all sorts of reasons, from a single pair of horses simply couldn't pull a larger carriage to the said two axle carriages needing to nudge through 30 ft radius curves.

Red cars = trolley
Yellow cars = streetcar

As I said, this is most a tendency in language use, and the terms are interchangeable; making them strictly mean either is a modern retcon in attempt of classification of mostly historic things.

But these are factoids filtered across the ocean, so take them with a grain of salt.
