Do you even race? Or do you just like to throw away a couple thousand bucks on an expensive piece of tech that a non-racer has no real use for?

I know it's a mortal sin here, but I legitimately enjoyed watching all the bike riding in Premium Rush.

Have you considered the possibility that you are simply an idiot?


To answer your question, what I wear depends on the weather, my intended ride, and my plans for the day. If I'm going to go out for a serious ride, I wear cycling shorts & jersey. If I'm biking somewhere to do something, I wear things that are slim-fit, quick-drying, and very breathable while looking like normal street clothing.

Anything made of cotton is a no-go.

The first gen ones were made of Scandium and were the tits! Haven't seen the aluminum ones in person, but the builds look decent for the price.

Before you buy, have you looked at the new 2017 Roadhouse and Wheelhouse?

whats the point of a cycling jersey? I just bought pic related type clothes for much cheaper and its comfortable + stays dry and easy to wash

the only "cycling gear" ive ever really invested in is a good pair of cycling underwear with a pad. i went on a 120km bike ride and got bad saddle sores which prompted that purchase.

Hipster...with really good taste

>>975850
Depressingly accurate.

What do you ride?

Putting how much gay I think judge someone for the things they like is, I´d say someone who didnt knew much about bikes but got lucky buying a good one.

Pic related.

Keep the casuals at home and the freds in their place

For today's 4.5 hour ride I took 2 bottles, plus the equivalent of 3 more in my trunk bag and still had to fill a bottle up in the park on the way home. The first 2 miles of a gravel road I went down was nasty. There was a dirt dump and numerous semis passing kicking up huge plumes of dust. A dirt road I went down didn't have much traffic since the last rain, so the surface was dry and cracked. That stuff crumbles when riding over it and eats a lot of speed.

I hope to be a transportation planner when I graduate. Just a little nervous I'll need to attend grad school to do so. Right now majoring in Geography and Urban Studies.

Picture is a proposed plan for an early rail system for the Twin Cities area.

I don't even want to name my city, it's embarrassing:

This past month's controversy was a proposal to reduce two quiet old boulevards that bisect a large college campus from 4 lanes down to 2. Traffic studies show there's not enough total traffic to need 4 lanes, and reducing them could improve sidewalks, improve the bus stops, AND make room for a bike lane - and this is a mostly residential neighborhood too other than the section that runs through the college.

Sounds great right?
NO. WE CANNOT HAVE NICE THINGS. EVERYONE MUST DRIVE CARS EVERYWHERE FOR ALL TRIPS.

>"residents won't be able to conveniently drive downtown [two miles] south because the streets will be clogged by cars waiting for pedestrians and buses"
So I asked the guy who said this to me, so you'd be unwilling to drive .75 miles out of the way to get on the highway two blocks over that goes downtown? Or ride your bike on the nice new bike lanes that lead downtown? Or ride the bus that will be more convenient then ever and allow you to skip any parking hassle?
>"NO. And it's ridiculous that the city should spend any money to worry about those college students who can't manage to use the existing crosswalks without looking both ways to make sure there are no cars coming, make the college pay for under/overpasses instead"

What are the advantages of a monorail system over a conventional light rail transport?

I hear those things are awfully loud.

>>985773
Not on your life my hindu friend!

>>985727
Too slow to be viable as a transport at this point, but worth developing

>>985727
i want an electric motor glider that is more glider than motorer.

>>985727
Electric airplanes will be much more common in the future. They are great for situations that have a limited range such as initial pilot training.

How many miles is a trip going to be?

If it's something easy like a few miles max then yes it will do 100% fine.

>>985646
No more than 5 miles. Probably around 2 or 3 on average

>>985648
It's fine.

Can't do much wrong with those distances.
