>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

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.

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.

>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.

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

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.

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.

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:

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.

How old is too old for carbon fiber if it has never been used?
Does it start to break down after a certain point?

I came across this today and thinking about making an offer.

That's the best part. For less than that price you can get a modern bike with electronic shifting and nice aero wheels.

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 ?
