looks like bike HIV ... best to put it down before it turns to full blown bike AIDS

Put on some touch up paint or even clear nail polish to keep the metal from rusting and it may outlive you. These little dents will hardly affect how the bike rides. The strength of the frame is affected, but it won't fold up unless you ride like Martyn Ashton.

the areo is ruined for sure.

Tl;dr since kids don't like reading even three paragraphs:

>Because no matter how many extra watts I eked out, I still was just me, a middle-of-the-pack amateur racer.

>Such disciplined riding began to feel tedious, and I burned out. Then one day I came to this realization: People like me do not need to endure this kind of pain on a regular basis. ...

>... I recently did a virtual race on a CompuTrainer. Afterward I was surprised to see that my power numbers were not much lower than when I had rigorously trained six days a week. Go figure.

So no matter what non-athletes will remain non-athletic despite torturing themselves by trying to train like pros. Who would have thought?

>ride for fun
>don't care about having a minmaxed training plan
>have tons of fun riding
>ride tons because it's so much fun

>have a strict training plan
>only care about the training plan and don't ride for fun
>riding isn't fun
>don't ride as much because it's a chore

If you have tons of fun riding you end up riding a lot just for fun. For most amateurs that's better than following a strict training plan that makes most rides the definition of miserable. Combine strict training plan with unpredictable weather and you end up with bunch of people who end up hating everything to do with bikes. Training like a professional athlete is fucking awful and pretty much impossible for anyone who has a job.

Go riding when you want and ride like you feel that day. Be it maximum effort intervals or a leisurely recovery spin, or anything in between. And if the weather is shitty take a day off or go to the gym.

This model was just released in N scale. And the New Haven line used to be run by the New Haven railroad. And it somehow survived Penn Central management relatively intact.

I think it's pretty cool that the Northeast was able to keep its electrified inter-urban passenger rail system. So props to them.

>>1086399
Yeah, coming from the West Coast, the New Haven Line is pretty impressive in terms of speed and frequency. What are the branches like, though (like up into Westchester and beyond)?

Also not going to be posting much Batty.
Yes, she's glorious. We've seen every still ever taken of her about a billion times.

yes, you can attach a pannier to your front rack but you want most weight on the back if you have one there

>>1096729
This is not like any other front rack that I have seen.Can I attach panniers to it straight away, or do I need to get additional bars

The pilots are highly trained and the machines are extremely well engineered and redundant. What specifically are you worried about?

>>1095632
Just all of it. It feels extremely unnatural to be in a metal tube in the sky. I'm worried about air pockets and the fact that the flight is so long. It all just feels wrong. I'm worried about the plane crashing.

>>1095633
>air pockets
what the hell is an air pocket? you're psyching yourself out

In Seattle:
>express bus from northern and eastern suburbs (there is commuter rail too, but no one rides it)
>express bus and commuter rail from southern suburbs
>ferries and water taxi from the islands in the west
>private employee shuttles for Microsoft employees
Cars have a pretty small mode share among downtown workers, but based on the state of I-5 S every morning a lot of people drive alone anyway

>>1094320

Why is commute train not popular? Seattle looks pretty liveable.

>>1094326
I suspect that the Sounder-train isn't popular because stations are far away, it's slow and frequency is shit, like couple of trains in rush hours and only buses at daytime. The service seems to be slow due to busy, curvy coastal route shared with freight trains.

Also there are direct bus services from suburban neighborhoods and park-and-ride terminals to downtown Seattle which people rather take than commute to train station and then take a train from there.

I'm just guessing, never been in Seattle but done some studying about transit in Seattle.

It's just not really a problem. All you have to focus on is the 'crimes of opportunity'; get yourself a u-lock for the bike, and a cable lock for your wheels if they're quick release. It's gonna stop a small-time dickhead walking by without a lot of tools or time. Anyone who really wants to take your bike is going to, so don't go further than that.
Try to keep it in sight, and if you can't, don't leave it for too long. What else can ya do?

>>1092025
>How do you get over the fear of leaving your bike out in the open unattended to take it anywhere, even locked up?

Either you lock up a bike that you absolutely do not give one single fuck about, or you never let it out of your sight, or you choke on the anxiety forever.

Those are your options.

Get a beater, you cunt.
