Goddamn, those thighs could crack your head like a walnut. Wear a helmet.

If someone is riding faster than I am I don't care if they pass me
The problem is when they accelerate to pass you and then start riding slower, so you inevitably catch up to them, so they accelerate again, or pass you back as soon as you pass them, and so on. A lot of folks seem to feel like it's a race all the time.

>>1086624
Alright; cause I'm far from the best cyclist in the world, I just happen to bike in a city where people wanna ride these heavy ass citibikes or beach cruisers. Like, I want to be nice, but me coasting is going to run up your ass compared to that.

>>1086622
They are just butthurt that you are faster.

>I will camp out in nature and wash myself and my clothes in lakes. I'm not sure how I'll this will happen so I'll practice a bit beforehand. I've read that dishwashing soap is the most multi-purpose soap, should I bring this instead of a detergent? What tools and spare parts for the bike should I bring with me? What clothes should I use?

Your tour starts in a week and your plan is to wash your clothes in a lake? how are you going to dry them?

My advice is to bring baby wipes for your ass and armpits and sleep in a hotel once in a while to shower and maybe go to a laundromat

Good luck OP my man it aint easy but its fucken rewarding.

Wilderness wash for soap.

Lets see your rig

Okay? Too bad Florida turned down all that HSR study funding when it was available.

>>1058850
eh, its better than nothing.Plus they have made a few offhand comments about possibly making an extension to Jacksonville sometime after Orlando which makes a little sense since FEC's (parent company) headquarters is located in Jacksonville so assuming its true and depending on if there isn't to many speed restrictions, we might see it have a faster average speed than the Acela Express

> eh, its better than nothing.
Well, I can't argue that.

Anyone have any recommendations for CX bike rims? I'm looking for something light and tough, 700c clincher, for rim brakes, 22-25 outer diameter.

I've been running cheap Sun CR-18's on my CX bike (that I treat like a rigid MTB) for the past few years and although a good wheelbuild and proper maintainance have kept them from going out of true, the aluminum is soft enough that the rims themselves have gotten dinged and bent more than a few times.

Is there such thing as a 12-14-16-18-20-22-24-26-28-30 10spd cassette?
And is there any reason why this wouldn't be a good idea?

getting a bike from a pawn shop how fugged am I

Without being drunk, without running over obviously sandy/gravely areas, without being hit by a car, how does one crash?
How long has it been since you removed the training wheels; a week? Week and a half?

MTN biking. Group was going fast and I felt shame.

>>1092313
Ah, guess that's fair. Didn't even consider; I'm the asshole.

Why use portals when you can sit back and enjoy some delicious cake?

I agree OP, it will change the world as we know it.

We are closer than you think! I will get back to you guys later!

They have more important matters to mind than airline safety. It's San Francisco.

>turning off instrument landing system

Not sure exactly, but ILS is good for straight in approaches. SFO has some nighttime noise abatement procedures that require a curved approach over the bay (to keep away from neighborhoods). So ILS is not so useful.

On a related note: What ever happened to that Asiana pilot, Wei Tu Lo?

I'm a laughing.

Cagers hate bikes. As self driving cars become a thing bikes will be pushed to the side for "saftey".

Same shit they do with guns. First its a small tax increase, then its so many fees the normal joe cant pay for it and its defacto banned

>>1088800
I wouldn't worry about so-called 'self driving cars', the technology is mostly media and marketing hype. You'll be an old man before humans are not allowed to operate motor vehicles, assuming that ever happens at all.

Bicycles will never be 'banned', ever, so I wouldn't worry about that either.

Don't turn this into a 'cager hate' thread; there are plenty of those on /n/, if you want to discuss that then go find one of those and post there. This thread is about a specific subject and I'd appreciate it if it was kept that way.

>>1088820
I think it's quite possible that bikes are going to be banned from using roads.

>JFK International Terminal 4

Wow. So he just travels through the airport dressed like that?

Question

So I know not all Class D airports have radar services in their towers. But, if they have the capability to tell what freq your transponder is squawking, then they must have radar, right?

It already has a duorail and such a new system would suffer from incompatibilities everywhere.

>>1085954
thats not a monorail

this is what a monorail looks like. op pic has two rails just weirdly on the side of a concrete block not on top of it.

I work as a bike delivery guy. I deliver food though, I don't think those "TAKE THIS ENVELOPE TO THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN YOU HAVE 10 MINUTES" jobs exist anymore.
Job is fun, not really too tiresome, you get free food, only work 4 hours a day which is enough for me to make a humble living, can't afford any luxuries though.
Keep in mind companies will ask you what's up with that one year hole in your resume, and you can't tell them you just rode your bike around. Also make sure your delivery company has accident insurance, because you WILL crash

>>1095363
>I don't think those "TAKE THIS ENVELOPE TO THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN YOU HAVE 10 MINUTES" jobs exist anymore.
They do, because there are still (and always will be) plenty of instances where only an original physical document will do and/or only a 'live', original signature on a document will do, therefore someone has to physically take a physical document from one place to another.

>>1095365
Well sure, but they're specific instances. I doubt you can have a job that consists of nothing but such tasks.

It's a big problem.

Since they 1980 bicycles are built with advanced gender detection technology. Once the bike reaches 15mph, the saddle scans your body to see if you have the correct gentiles. If the incorrect gentile comes up in the scan, the front wheel immediately locks up, throwing you over the handlebars like a catapult.

just make sure you dont hit 15mph and you're fine

>>1095191
LOL I doubt i'll be getting to 15mph, I weigh 250

Beach cruisers are never a good choice. You'll probably ride it once or twice then leave it to rust on your basement.

>But Al never did. Maybe that’s because there was plenty of permissive downtime at NR, which he could and did fill by reading travel guides to any country (I can see him at his cluttered mailroom desk hiking through Fodor’s Guide to San Marino or Frommer’s Guide to Sierra Leone), by wandering the office offering commentary (sometime head-scratching, often quite sharp, always preceded by a chortle) and usually unsolicited advice (“You shouldn’t use Equal.” “Really Al? I don’t remember asking your opinion.”), or, more and more as the years wore on, giving rapt attention to his PC screen, watching YouTube videos of bygone wrestling matches featuring Bruno Sammartino and Chief Jay Strongbow and other ancient heroes (Al knew everything about professional wrestling — he was an encyclopedia and was determined to share his wrestling newsletters with his colleagues).

>Yep, Alex loved to share his passions. The beautiful model trains and buses he saved for were delivered to NR, and after opening them with care he showed them off, tossing in a gratis lecture on why this 1932 Whatchamacallit Steam Engine was more accurate than his 1947 HolySmokes Diesel. His home basement was turned over to this hobby, wall to wall, and he took countless pictures and videos of his beloved layouts (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkwHqLXy8V0Bbk5OzAX157Q)

>Al fit into one category: Al. The son of a New York City police officer; Al had a social awkwardness offset by a relentless itch to engage; he was exceptionally bright, decidedly uncool, and acted no different talking to Bill Buckley than he did to the NR receptionist (although I doubt he tried to interest Bill in Japanese anime). He defied physics: You could see Al a block off, bouncing down Lexington Avenue, somehow his body moving in every direction at once. He could take a joke, and he could give in return (the chortle followed these). His politics were as elusive as his trip to . . . Sierra Leone. Still, he was one of us. Unfittable, Alex Batey fit in here.

>This week, something was up. Something was wrong. His gastro system — it was on the fritz, and he was . . . unnerved. Al went to the walk-in medical clinic located next door to NR. Little good that did: The next two days, he called in sick. And he was. Very. Russ Jenkins, his boss and friend and guardian angel, told him — get yourself to an emergency room. And: Don’t Come In.

>Al being Al, today, he came in. For the last time. A little after 10:00 a.m., trying to deliver the new issue of NR, he became disoriented and started to collapse. Aaron and Mila caught him, sat him in a chair, Alexandra called 911, Galina got his records. As for Al — he couldn’t breathe or talk. The EMTs arrived, gave him oxygen and an IV, and took him to the nearby hospital. Lindsay Craig followed to make sure someone was there to have his back. The doctor told her: Big Al was in grave condition. By mid-afternoon, he was dead — a massive infection had swamped his lungs and stomach, overwhelming his system.

>Why in God’s name did he come in to the offices of National Review this day? To me it is obvious. Alone in the world except for a loving sister, who lived far away, Alex Batey knew that he had arrived at the hour that will arrive for all of us. But he didn’t want to die alone. And he didn’t.

>Over its 62 years, National Review has had three editors: Bill Buckley, John O’Sullivan, and Rich Lowry. Al Batey was privileged: He could call all of them friends. But they too were privileged to say the same of Alex Batey. So am I, and so are shocked colleagues, some who have wept at the news of his passing.

>Rest in peace, Big Al. We’re praying Jesus is your tag-team partner.
