Oh also this same ride takes 15 minutes by car.

Good for you.

I find that if google maps say that it takes 45 minutes, you can usually get trough that in 30mins without breaking a sweat. Seems like the phase it calculates is for women or something.

Very cool thread

best train reporting in

how does it feel that the leftist parties you vote for because they are pro-public transport also want to ban steam trains because they pollute as hell.

If you are that poor, don't eat during a day, and buy a tire with the saved money. And next time, learn to save money, don't spend it all.

Put your most questionable tire on the back wheel, I've had blowouts on both wheels and it's much easier to control the bike and avoid crashing if the back tire goes flat suddenly.

Thanks

Schwalbe one

hooly fuck... at 2:40 cancelara shifted.. what the fuk man... THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SINGLE SPEED RACE FUCK SAKE

I didn't watch the entire thing, but it seems like they're really reaching, and pointing at anything that glows faintly. I saw the head from the actual motor test, and the shit they point at looks nothing like that or to the degree, and they seem to ignore the fact that every wheel glows just as much as the bottom brackets and dropouts they point at.

FUCK INDIANA

p.s I know who u are, come to the Ceraland crit and give me a kiss (if you dont know who i am, just look for the most handsome person racing, it will be me)

I go to DePauw up 231. We have a "Little 5" race that is road, not track, racing. We do 1km TT, 200m Street Sprints, and a 50m crit.

I met a few former Phi Psi's/ATO's at a college race in Kentucky. They seemed cool.

I want the cheapest possible mountain bike that won't fall apart and isn't Walmart shit. I'm not looking to compete or anything, I just want to go on the trails here without getting thrown over the handlebars when I hit a root. Is this possible for less than $300?

tallahassee.craigslist.org/search/bia

Anything good here?

So /n/

What pushbike do I buy at walmart?
->ibefore the most $$$ one

>>944484
You don't buy at Walmart

I suppose you could, 25 mile is a short travel, and you can always man up and pedal harder if there is any hill.

Those rides are slow as fuck, any bike will do

>>944409
Okay thanks. I was looking at the pictures of their website and these seem like long term bikers. All spandex, those weird pointy helmets. And here I show up with a fat cruiser.

It's like when your pants dont have pockets.

>>944305
Your lycra pants have pockets?

>>944290
seriously, just take a normal city bike, works fine. every house as a damn place where you can store your bike. if its a cheap one you can even let it outside somewhere.

Rubber on tarmac is woefully inefficient compared to steel on steel. Also railways don't tend to have other personal use drivers to kill with one tiny error.

>>943961
Depends on how you look at it. You actually want a lot of friction when it comes to wheel based movement. It gives a better transfer of torque and lets you stop more quickly. Steel on steel has lots of slipping, and as we all know, wheel slip is highly inefficient, potentially dangerous, and harmful to wheels/tires and the road/track surface.

The huge advantage of railroads is actually from aerodynamics and a larger more efficient prime mover.

The efficiency comes from the ridiculously low friction. It lets you roll and roll and roll. It's about having just enough friction to get by so you can keep your momentum. >bait
Further reading: the micheline and the flop that was
If you really wanted to piss about, you can consider the acceleration of various rubber tired vs steel rolling stock. The rubber tired stock wins most of the time but in the realm of commuter trains, you can have stupidly high acceleration on steel if you really wanted so, like trams and MTR stock

Also, trains on road yes

Autism is a hell of a drug.

The thing is though, I did the same shit when I was a teenager obsessed with Sonic+ Roller Coasters.

I imagined an amusement park the size of Cedar Point in Knothole Village that was built by Starfleet and...augh.

I'd be in this thread if YT existed back then.

Strava is the cancer that is killing cycling. Even with the changes they've made it still encourages the worst behavior out of people, and no matter what they do it allows people to believe they're 'racing' while they're actually doing nothing of the sort. Plus, you can easily cheat at Strava in so many different ways. If you want to race, then go sign up for a real road race, otherwise stop pretending. It's almost as bad as that silly 'virtual racing' crap where you're on a trainer in your house 'racing' against people and on 'group rides'. What a joke. Go out and do it for real.

Oh and by the way Strava isn't 'Transportation' in any way shape or form, so it doesn't belong here. >>>/asp/

>>939009
I'm sorry you're so narrow sighted. I'll continue using Strava to track my rides how I please.

Get a high quality lock, you didn't say what you had before. Not much more you can do.

You can also write on the next one with UV so if it does come up it might be more easily IDed

There's still a chance it might come up on a facebook buy swap sell
