Here is their "bugger" trailer. I wonder if this sold well in the UK?

Nothing really new in this catalog but you see the bike touring products come before the hiking equipment they were primarily selling in 1973. The shift towards a cycling company

Here is an image of a train station at the end of both the 73 and 74 catalogs. You can see where the original Cannondale logo design came from

I've been shocked by the track circuit when cutting in a panel and wet. Felt like sticking your tongue on a 9V battery... but it was my whole arm.

What is this, additional return rail because the tracks aren't grounded properly or three-phase?

>>1014060
750V? No way.

>>1014063
Additional return. No return via tracks. Supposedly better for signaling equipment.

Tip of the hat to NJS track racing though. Their regulations guarantee that the best athlete gets the gold

I bring an extra set of clothes and deodorant that I change into when I get to work, but if that isn't an option you could try drying off with paper towels in the restroom.

becoming fit. Take that hill for a month and a bit and you should dry up

If you're a sweaty person by nature and getting used to the incline still leaves you looking like a wet rag, then you're kinda boned. Use powder and deoderant to get ride of as much of it ass possibly, carry a towel if its really bad, and if for whatever reason there is no alternate route and the sweat keeps pouring out invest in a small motor so that you stress a bit less over that hill. Not much else you can do.

This is me.

However I'm not fit at the moment because my workout bike is out of commission.

I'm thinking about tackling it today anons.

Wish me luck

This is the train departing the initial terminal.

17300~ tons of freight and 8200~ feet long. A pretty long and heavy train, but wait...

This is the retarded thing we bring back.

13740 is the length, but that's not counting the 140 ft. of motors.

So really it's a nearly 14,000 ft. train. Which is fucking massive. You really shouldn't be running trains this long since the air pressure never really wants to build up in the train line, but you *can* do it.

>2.5 mile train
So thats the train that seems to pass through my town at like 10 mph every week.

How do they decide to do loads that big? Deadlines? Just for the hell of it? To see if they can?

Why.

>>1011480
Hydraulic brakes aren't sciencey, it's just oil ina container that has a mechanical lever or pump that makes the space smaller and so puts pressure on the brake.

this... this bike triggers me somehow..

>clean and grease chain twice a year at most
>rub leather dressing on the saddle pretty much as often or when whether is exceptionally bad
>clean with a damp rag like once a year or when visibly dirty
>hose almost never
>still works like a charm

I rarely clean my bikes since they will just get dirty again right away. Most likely to clean a bike after a wet winter ride.

If I go for a wet ride I'll wipe the chain with a paper towel that I sprayed WD40 on, then add some wet lube to displace the water. Otherwise I just add lube when the chain gets noisy. I don't even clean off the chain unless there is a lot of gunk on it.

Really depends on the type of riding. The clay dust I've been riding in this fall has required reapplying chain lube twice a week. The dust has been pretty much scouring the chain clean after a few rides, kind of like using kitty litter to clean up oil spills.

I perform cleaning when the chain gets noisy.
That cleaning could be performed each 20~80 km depending on the kind of path biked (dusty gravel or asphalt).

>put wd40 on both derailleurs to clean the shit out of them
>brush all chainring, chain, cassette and derailleurs with a kerosened paintbrush, removing hard shit with a piece of fabric
>use pic related to clean chain with kerosene
>remove kerosene and shit from chain and other transmission parts with fabric and wait until kerosene dries up by itself
>lub chain with green epic ride without cleanning the lub excess

Other parts of bike are less cared than this. I only clean the other parts of the bike when last rain of year pass out.
When i plan to bike on asphalt only, i use old-fucked-up-used engine oil to lub the chain, because is more viscous, it last longer on chain than green epic ride, it's cheaper and lubs well. Because its viscocity and stickiness, used motor oil is a way to stick dust and sand to your transmission and fuck it up, so i avoid riding offroad when lubbed with motor oil.

I use kerosene and wd40 to wipe the shit out of the frame often instead soap and water.

I don't understand what you mean by "pacified" traffic

barcelonian here. Nice to see a thread about my city. People are up in arms about this whole scheme, amazing how butthurt cagers can get.
The only bad thing I see is that they've fucked up the main bus corridor running through there. There's a diagonal street that cuts right through the grid, it used to carry two popular bus lines, now they've just separated each direction of the bus by three blocks which is retarded.

Notice how the graphic in >>1009808 doesn't even show the bus symbol in the "after" pic. It pisses me off that public transit is being considered together with cars and not with pacified uses. It's simply retarded. Precisely public transit ought to run right through the middle of the pacified area. Pic extremely fucking related.

>tfw this city manages to fuck up absolutely everything it could have potentially going for itself

Yes, we've known for a long time that helmets reduce head injuries in the event of a crash. Nobody disputes that.

The issue with helmet promotion is that usually helmets get promoted and then... that's it. No infrastructure changes. No policy changes. No "comprehensive cycling safety plan" aside from telling cyclists to be safe when "sharing" the road with 4,000 vehicles going 50mph.

>>1007937
It's about use of public land. Roads are public land and so use of the road should require permits in the same way... And they do. Bikes are woefully and shamefully not accounted for but requiring permits would be a step in ensuring cyclists their place on the road and better representation for it.
