Fuck so-called 'driverless cars/autonomous cars', I LIKE driving myself. I wouldn't get into one if you PAID me. Also I think they're garbage and will be for decades to come because we can't even figure out how a human brain does what it does, therefore we can't build anything that works the same, therefore you'll NEVER build any fucking 'driverless car' that can drive even as well as a human being UNDER ALL CONDITIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES, so fuck that shit I WANT TO LIVE, I'll keep driving myself.

Heres a map of the rapid busses coverage so youll get an idea of what i mean.

This bus line has its own private highway so youll never get stuck in traffic. It feels like lightrail.

This will boost the hell out of the Waterbury Branch

I have no idea why Connecticut bothers with trains and such

I'm in NYC and every time there's an article in the Times about transit or bikes, some cager says "I'm from Connecticut and this is going to make everything worse when I drive down to NYC twice a year to watch The Phantom of the Opera, all bike lanes and trains should be destroyed to make room for people from three states away to be able to park their cages for free in midtown"

>>975164

You dont know how much of a shitshow getting into NYC from Connecticut durring rush hour.

Miles and miles of bumper to bumper traffic if you drive

>>975063
It must be strange to be as grossly inept as you

Can information be found on the internet? Is there something that I can search through? Can I just hang back and let everyone do everything for me in life?

You can buy pedals that are clipless on one side and flat on the other. Use >>>/n/bqg next time.

This is why mexicans need to build a wall

Rocking the bike from side to side underneath you is normal when you ride out of the saddle, standing on the pedals. And riding out of the saddle is normally done when you need to put out extra effort during a steep climb, or to sprint, or just as a way to stretch your legs during a long ride.

If you're shifting your weight around that dramatically while seated then you might have an issue with your saddle height, but otherwise nope, nothing odd about that at all.

Keep a relaxed upper body.

ree and stuff i guess

So you have no actual reasons?

Just wanted to confirm. Thanks.

>>973316
Interested by this.

Looks to be a 2010 model but can't be completely certain, likely no newer than that though due to having V brake mounts.

Are you sure the wheel you have isn't actually 24"?

>>973316
Tourney is Shimanos lowest of the low tier group.

I'm 34 and can't bunny hop or wheelie.

Faster is easier, seat at the correct height, bike setup well (headset isn't too tight and tyres aren't at a low pressure). Steer with your body, you should be able to correct the drift with your hips and legs with your arms by your side.

>>972049
Use your abdomen to stand and balance yourself.
If your headset is too loose it'll tip to one side at any irregularity.

you hold down those things sticking off the handlebars

>>971813
disc brakes are very dangerous though, you could fly over the bars

there is a reason UCI requires rim brakes

Yes, neo-luddism

Off-roading in the US is generally a sport.

Off-roading in most other places is generally just what you have to do to get from a to b.

Those are not specifically for Sahara crossing and even then that doesn't seem kitted for it at all.

Terrain in certain parts of the US can resemble terrain in other temperate countries which the unimog is primarily used.

It all depends on your purpose.

Eg. If you want to go mudding then why would you spend all that money on importing a unimog and not some beater half ton and throw super swampers and diff locks on it?

>>950245

The weight alone on those things makes them not particularly great off road compared to a lot of other vehicles. If you're using it as kind of an overgrown camper it's fine I guess, but there are much better vehicles for the purpose.

Unimog means universal motor gadget.
It's not a fun vehicle. Its a serious workhorse.

riding a bike every day is treating my depression and manging my diabetes II

and it made me better at sex by giving me more leg strength

so, thanks bikes

My bum is feeling firmer after a month

My legs and arse were more nicely shaped and I got out-of-breath a lot less. I also generally have more energy now than before I exercised (talking several years ago now).

They'll most likely have the new front though. Pic related KISS made by stadler for ODEG in Germany.

I don't get how having high and low platform doors is going to work long term. I get that the low platform doors are for the near term and the high ones for once all stations have been modified to have high platforms. But once that happens, will they modify the trains to remove the low doors and put seats there instead?

>>974637
only in America would such a thing even need to happen

Maybe they'll switch back to front derailleurs once di2 is really affordable, but for now it just makes a ton of sense.

It's nice and simple if you're just racing through the woods.

And for full suspension it really helps framebuilders if they don't have to incorporate a front derailleur.

>It's nice and simple if you're just racing through the woods.

Im mean, yeah , for DH specific build it makes a lot of sense, for anything going up or half up its just like cutting a steak with a spoon.

but

>>974013

Aside from the normal considerations of weight, complexity, handlebar real estate, etc chainring size effects suspension behavior. It is a lot easier to get a perfectly tuned suspension if there is only one chainring to consider. This is important enough that chainline issues are a worthwhile tradeoff for many disciplines.

1x on a hardtail or road bike is thoroughly ridiculous.

I've also seen it done on tri bikes for very flat courses and I think that makes some sense.

Fizik microtex is the best I've ever used.

I like cinelli cork tape, and soma "thick and zesty" serrated tape

The cinelli can't be re-wrapped in my experience, it just dissolves when you remove it. Soma tape I've managed to salvage

The serrated stuff feels good on your hands. The Cinelli cork is just nice quality compared to the cheapest stuff, and only ~$3 more

I don't believe lizardskins or leather or cotton tape could really be better than cork / fake cork, at least in non-racing / fop wagon applications So why spend the money..

>>973600

I rode lizardskins tape for a season.
It was alright but nothing special. Better than cheap cork.
