>A special 7-tonne (6.9-long-ton; 7.7-short-ton) rail motor coach was built for an anticipated visit of Kronprinz Wilhelm in 1914. A 6-cylinder Daimler-Benz gasoline engine gave the car a speed of 38 metres per second (120 ft/s) (137 km/h or 85 mph) and the title of the fastest 2 ft (610 mm) gauge rail car

My dad used to run patrols in Namibia when he was in the SADF in the 80's. They used an armoured car that was fitted with rail wheels. Pic related.
>>1062064
How many blacks did he kill?
>>1062064
>>1062069
not him, but my dad was also in the SADF in the 80's and he and his platoon fired at a bunch of blacks with blanks on their way to an exercise for lols. however he never shot any floppies in anger (he was a signaller)
that guy's dad was also probably on glorified guard duty on or near the border.

This one here was Headcorn Junction station on the Kent and East Sussex Railway's nothern line to Headcorn 1905-1954.
Anyone else want to talk and share?
Budapest-Vizafogó.
This station was used mostly for freight operation, until the 70s/80s when they started to store disused steam locomotives before scrapping. After that, the station closed and almost completely vanished, and new commieblock units were built in this place.

Now only the station building remained.

>If the longest ride of your life was less than ____, then you are a shit-tier cyclist.
My answer: 100km. A 100km ride doesn't make you a good cyclist by any means, but at least you're above the ultra-casual tier. Once you hit 150km it's mildly respectable.
384,400km
>>1063847
No one has ever done a ride that long.
question is in how many hours
for instance if you do that 100km ride in 10 hours you only averaged around 10 km/h so you probably didn't even break a sweat overall
Average cyclist weighs 200 lbs
Average car weighs 2000 lbs
200/2000 = 10%
cyclist contribute to 10% of overall road damage yet pay 0% of the road repair cost
and they wonder why "cagers" hate them....
bad logic, but good girl
ill allow it

According to this dumbfuck, not wearing a helmet is a way of saying that you don't want to die. As in, her incompetent stance is the complete opposite of the truth.
>I think of my bare [helmetless] head as a sign that says: I am a living creature who wants to keep living, so please don’t hit me.
http://www.bikinginmpls.com/im-done-wearing-helmet/
And it gets worse
>People will often put up photos on social media of obliterated helmets and say, “Holy crap, look at my helmet! It saved my life!” But helmets are not supposed to shatter. When a helmet protects your head from a serious injury, the styrofoam inside will be compressed and stay that way. Most of the pictures I’ve seen are of helmets that have broken apart. It’s likely that the helmet did not protect someone from a severe injury.
While she is correct that helmets are designed to compress, she is the biggest fucking moron on the planet, without the slightest understanding of physics, if she legitimately believes that a shattered helmet didn't do its job. Helmets compress in mild to moderate impacts, they shatter in severe impacts. In both cases, they absorb a fuck of a lot of force. Of course you niggers already know that, but apparently this dumbass woman doesn't.
Oh well, someday she'll learn the hard way.
>>1061247
>>1061249
Did you even read the article?
Aside from her error about helmets shattering, that's my stance too - I wear a helmet if I'm mountain biking or riding a road bike in a group (both activities where the risk of crashing goes way up), but not for general riding about.
The humanizing effect is real:

How do i get out of paying fines for a carpool violation in california. I've never had a ticket before.
Stop driving cars, start riding bikes, problem solved
>>1061100
Don't be a fucking faggot and pay your fine. Carpool lanes aren't for greedy fucks such as you, they are for efficient travel.
I did it once and it was amazing, best ride ever
and then i found out you can get in trouble for it?
I still wanna do it some more :)
i mean as long as none of this shit can keep me from getting a job, its w/e to me
yeah, anyone train hop? thoughts?
We've had threads on this in the past... according to everything I've read, riding a freight train still has a certain romantic appeal, but the lengths, car design, and speed of modern freight trains make it increasingly likely that you'll be maimed or killed if you try it.

Any advice would be of help in this transaction.

I heard bad things about vintage lugged garbon, and looks expensive. For that price you could get modern carbon with modern specs with warranty.
>>1062680
That's the best part. For less than that price you can get a modern bike with electronic shifting and nice aero wheels.

Modifications to the southern end of the route, as the current route will be largely redundant once BART's SJ extension is complete. Als: if the ban on bay fill development is ever lifted, the Coast alternative would essentially be the spine of a completely new urban corridor.

Shit, I'll be around 65 by then.
I cracked my frame by using a homemade workbench that broke. Should I bring my frame to a pro, do it myself, or not fix it at all.
>>1060822
Take it to a professional repair business, that looks like a fairly straightforward fix.
>>1060822
If that crack goes all the way through, you're fucked and will need a new frame, not repairable.
>>1060822
>i fucked my shit up because of some crapy homemade stuff
You're obviously bad at homemading stuff so maybe you should bring it to a pro if you don't want to die...
But since you're concidering fixing it yourself or even not fixing it i suppose you're kind of suicidal ?
