If you have a problem riding in snow then you're a fucking faggot and shouldn't be on /n/.

No good way to get to north Minneapolis, although tbf you wouldn't want to even if you could
Tedious to cross the river to st paul, you either have to take a long tedious route along the river or ride mostly on un marked streets
Greenway might get torn up
Keeneworth/north ceder lake trail could use a good re-paving

Schwalbe Marathon Plus already exist, no need to go airless

You really think those won't get a flat before these Tannus tires need replacing? They're supposed to last about 9,000 miles before becoming deformed. I can't imagine any pneumatic tire not going flat in anything over ~5k miles and an average tire itself would likely need replacing before then.

So... I've done the impossible several times over, eh? Not Marathons. For some reason the inbred roody-poos of this fine forum subsection have a greatly inflated (ha!) impression of how frequent flats actually are. If you listened to half of the posts here you'd think people without triple protection belts would puncture every other mile.

Because it's an international flight, you retard.

NAFTA was designed to negate the expenses of movement between US and Canada though, so that's not really a valid argument

Customs is still Customs, anon.

You can maintain an average speed of 27, but can't get past 32? Are you sure your gps/speedometer reacts quick enough?

I've just never really tried I guess.

What line is this?

>>1075707
Norwich City to Melton Constable line. Hasn't been used since the 60's for passengers, closed in the 80's for freight, there's a footpath on half of it now. I dream one day of it being opened again & new build D16's like in that pic running on it...

Because it's 電車, 自転車, and 飛行機.

When they can compete with pneumatic tyres, which is never. You can get yours today if you're keen. Don't say I didn't warn you.

>>1074647
Never
We can only hope for better materials on pneumatic tires

Imagine that shit filling up with mud.

What a joy.

That's the Furness Railway No. 20, the oldest standard gauge locomotive still operating in Britain (the year 1865, iirc).

Sittingbourne And Kemsley Light Railway. This locomotive is one of theirs called Leader.

Airbus every time.

It really doesn't matter since both are globalized with massive amounts of vendors that manufacturer the same components for both
It means nothing for passengers since the initial visions of cabin comfort are destroyed by their customers who deliver 27" seat pitch on a 15 hour flight

The only people who should care are pilots.
Boeing if you want the closest you can get to stick and rudder flying or Airbus if you want computerized automation to be given higher priority than human inputs

757,767,737 are my favorite Boeing Planes with the 767 being my favorite airliner of all time.
The A350 and 787 look sleek but don't hit the spot and I'd choose a A320 over a 737 and a 747 over an A380 and an A330 over a 777.

I've been able to talk my way out of being stopped by the cops a couple times because it's normally to check if I have eye protection but I'm white and a safe driver so it's good

Get your priorities in order you fucking nerd.

He's building a the brand. The Amazon model. Amazon undercuts everyone to monopolize the market. He's doing the same with Tesla. Get the cars out there, and the name. Refine product, then start aiming for profit maximization.

Same model for most of the start-up companies out there. Look how it worked out for Facebook. Amazon accounts for 43% of eCommerce sales in the USA. Bezos is one of the world's richest me. If they wanted to get more profitable in the short term, they could. But they aren't thinking like that. Build a conglomerate, get a stranglehold on the market, and survive.

>more weigh
>more friction from added chains

Yeah naw. While I'm not a physicist, my initial impression says that when you have more shit on the bike it requires more effort to move it around. I can't see why it would make any kind of difference when the front wheel is pulling also and they are not doing a good job explaining as to why it would be beneficial in the video.

Maybe it has something to do with that most of the weight is on the rear wheel when climbing that it would seem to make a difference, but at the end of the day, it's just the same legs turning the pedals and I can't see how adding more shit would make that job any easier.

They could have some uses..
but that video, wtf man
>2wd, on a fucking road bike, "makes it faster"
>those handlebars and levers, my wrists died just looking at it
>testing 2wd on.. dry asphalt.
all of my whys.
clearly the guys who built the bike have no idea what they are doing and the "reporter" is just doing an advertisement for them

way to fuck up the reputation for 2wd again.

>>1074619
yeah I'm 100% sure it has no benefit until you are in a situation where a normal bike would lose grip.
