you're going to fuck up your bumper.

>>1063485
I drive the same mountain/hill pass every day in my winter beater, I hit pheasants and other small animals so often that it would be pointless to care about my bumper even if it wasn't a beater.

Nah, you won't. You'll swallow your rage and unleash it on the internet, anonymously.

A cute cyclist girlfriend won't help me win the Tour de France
Winning the Tour de France will most definitely help me get a cute cyclist girlfriend
So the latter

>>1063057
Extremely good point, my friend. Though not entirely accurate, as she would give you motivation and encouragement to win the tour.
Would you fuck Lance Armstrong if doing so would allow you to win the tour?

>>1063059
First place in TdF for sure

>Would you fuck Lance Armstrong if doing so would allow you to win the tour?
Yes

>van I could possibly live out of or travel in long distances
what works and what doesn't all depends on how much comfort you need
if you're desparate enough even a honda civic can be slept in
>some room to stand in it as well
most vans won't be tall enough
mercedes/dodge sprinters can have headroom if they're the tall model
they're expensive af though
cheapest way to get standing room is an old schoolbus

Yes comfort matters.
The school bus idea is to far out there.
Think the Honda Element. Just not as stylish.

i have a turbo and I live in a dorm so I'm super self conscious about the noise (they're SUPER loud above like 150 watts) and it stresses me out

Ive ridden outside on wet shitty roads all week just to avoid it as much as possible. i'm tired of cleaning my bike though, that also sucks in dorms

My city is trying to get the public easement for a major street in one of the outer boroughs from the state for a few months now. The city wants to reduce it from four to two lanes in order to build a light rail line there, but the negotiations are dragging on.

>>1065832
there there.. im sure you can fulfill your autistic needs somewhere else anon

Just because there's a new train doesn't mean all others will be replaced all of a sudden right?
Knowing the way things are run in former soviet countries, you'll be running the old trains for decades to come.

>>1065833
True enough, there are still old trains in service which are a pleasure to ride.

>>1065838
Yeah. Thankfully, the metro line I live near still has a lot of the old 81-717s running.

Trains from Grand Central go to the homes of the elite, prestigious, and the executives.

Trains from Penn Station go to the Northeast's highest concentration of white trash, New Jersey and Long Island.

>>1064456
because all the smart folk avoid penn and just get on trains at either atlantic, hoboken, or hunterspoint

Damn I'm gonna be in penn station this summer

Te envidio, aca en buenos aires no quedan trenes tan lindos

As part of the restoration of a large WWII-era German bunker complex, some locals are currently rebuilding the narrow-gauge line that supplied the bunkers with materials. They don't have any original rolling stock or locomotives, but they're improvising and have bought an old battery locomotive, some old lorries, and a shit ton of 700 mm track. They've just laid down the first stretch of railroad. Pretty neat.

>>1064495

namely where?

Pipe dream

It's a long way off given the (somewhat funny) legal opposition facing it such as
> Claiming Texas Rentral Railray is not a railroading company since they do not own any physical track or rolling stock
> A proposed bill target at TCR that requires any rail company to have track that can allow any type of train to run, the lawmaker who penned the bill assumed only Japanese trains can run on tracks built with Japanese technology.
> It'll upset the cattle

Although I'll give it more of a chance of it happening than most high speed rail projects since its by a private corporation meaning the support and the money for it for and against won't be in constant flux every election cycle

>>1063897
Any standard gauge than run on any standard gauge but in practice, mix-matching different train and signalling system is just stupid.

Taiwan HSR did t(Japanese train mated to european signaling and communication system) and they've had plenty of technical issues, which leads to delays (and cost overruns) and that caused major political scandal

Sometimes I wonder who's behind all these oppositions? CRRC? Bombardier?

You should at least go through Belgium (visit the EU capital, god tier beer, chocolate and fries), Netherlands (just to experience THE bicycle country) and Germany (more varied scenery). Start in Normandy to go with predominant wind direction, and because you're American after all.

>What country should I go through?
Portugal/Spain/France.

I'm from Spain and I think it's pretty comfy for riding, there is no strong bike culture but drivers usually leave you enough room (1,5 metres by law). If you start on the North, País Vasco, you will find a stronger bike culture, many people ride there, so you can start there and then go to the north trough France until you get to Belgium, I think there is some bike path called Eurovelo which is under construction.

Depends.
You can cross the Alps (starting somewhere in Middle Europe), then head towards Romania and back across Croatia, Serbia. What I've been told (direct source) and also experienced is that the (South-)East is full of friendly, open-hearted lovely people who will invite you to drink and eat with them. This bonus isn't available in Middle Europe, since mostly everyone is fighting/working for their lives.

>>1057306
Relax. Just keep sitting there unless you have another good reason to move away. For example if you prefer facing the direction the train is moving, you can move to a seat that lets you do that. Don't think about what everyone else is doing or thinking about you too much and don't sperg out.

>>1057306
>Bag on lap
I wish people would do it here.
Most of them put their bag besides them so nobody can sit there.

>>1057316
Women put their bags beside them to avoid becoming victimized by manspreaders
>so nobody can sit there.
To be honest I'm getting a rapey vibe from this post

>>1054982
Careful now anon. You wouldn't want to disturb SI anon's grave...

I managed to get 30km/h average with some mild 5-6% climbs thrown in once. No 20 mph, but shit was cash nonetheless.

Nice try, ICE. I won't go back.
