Aesthetically pleasing, though not my favorite 0-4-4. That would be the LNER G5, I think there's like a project to make a new build one.

You're right, there is a new G5 being built and from what I can recall the boiler has been finished.

>>1082729
Nice! Can't wait to finally see it running. I know they've been working on it for years, must be nearly done by now...

Who wouldn't like a little 0-6-0 tank locomotive?

The 14XX is not an 0-6-0, infact it's an 0-4-2.

>>1080141
Oh yes, so it is. I'm confusing it with the 15xx

Everything the Southern designed is ugly shit. Even after being re-engineered, the 73/9 is still ugly.

I think they're very nice, OP.

Everyone involved with the art work from scribbles to approval ought to be shot. Then everyone in their family bloodline ought to be hunted down and shot.

Well guess what, you're not a pro

>>1077441
They can do it because going fast is their job.

>>1077441
isn't it weird how people with no full time employment whos only goal in life is to go fast on a bicycle can go faster on a bicycle than people with other shit to do?

Me and my chopper bike in 2008. Still have it and still ride it from time to time. Taken the edgy flame stickers off tho.
It's pretty chill

I bought a USB-rechargeable tail light
I usually avoid chink sites though since shipping takes like two fucking months

better than buying British shit like Merlin where shipping cost is $200 to USA

>>1082715
Yeah that's the problem with chink stuff but if it is not time critical then it might be a good idea. I haven't bought anything bike related from aliexpress yet but for other electronics it was usually fine as long as you don't need anything high quality. I've just bought one jersey for 10 euros, curious to see what sort of quality I'll be getting.

no you idiot they aren't supposed to replace a ferrari

>>1081540
You can't keep up with city traffic already?...

>>1081540
If the bike is intended for road use the assist is governed to 20 mph in most jurisdictions. There are some faster ones that use a loophole by indicating they are not intended for use on the road. And some really fast ones from builders that don't give a fuck about laws.

>>1082160
Probably

>I don't need a car, I live in the city.

This is a city. You don't need a car in it.

West Coast urban sprawl is not a city. It's just a hyperdense suburban clusterfuck

Everything is within cycling distance and we have great infrastructure here. I don't need it for the city but I do own a car for the longer trips or carrying larger stuff. Owning a car is less expansive than using public transport.

Quit talking like a soft faggot. Post more wrecks. Let's get a trainwreckd thread.

I actually met the daughter of the one of the conductors on this.

She is the nurse at an optometrist's office.

>not inviting her to ride with you
>not having hot, steamy shower sex with her after the ride

>>1080865
I already have cycled with her and I will again soon.

>>1080855
She isn't much of a cyclist if she hasn't done 100km. I would say any bicycle hobbyist will do 160km (100miles) within one year of that being their hobby. Sorry.

PATH is nice during the winter

>>1079126
Sounds like they're already doing the design work for future cities on Mars.

>>1079135
Or in the rain, or in the heat in the summer

I use it all the time getting to work from union

>>1077644
Maybe once hybrid electric regional become a thing.

What airline is this?

>>1077672
Greyhound Air. Canadian airline that only existed for 1 year from 1996-1997.

Reminder to report and ignore runningposting

It's 51 degrees and cloudy today with a 20% chance of rain, so needless to say I will not be riding this weekend and, given that the weekend is the only time it's possible to ride, it means I will not have another chance to think about riding again until next weekened

I'm thinking of riding again once the weather gets nice again, who else is a professional serious cyclist trainer enthusiast like me? God I hate all these runnerfags who ride when it's not between 64 and 71 degrees and between 30 and 60% relative humidity. It's like they love UTTERLY RUINING their gloves, everyone who is on a bike right now instead of shitposting on 4chan is a mean runner jerk who totally doesn't like cycling like I do

Unfortunately most of the JNR era limited express EMUs are either retired or relegated to seasonal services. The only ones that I know are in active regular service are the 381 Series EMU for the Ltd. Exp Yakumo (West JR) between Okayama and Izumoshi and the 185 Series EMU for the Ltd. Exp Odoriko (JR East) between Tokyo and Izu peninsula

There are still plenty of JNR era commuter/suburban EMUs along with various types of DMUs throughout the country, but I'm not sure if you are interested in those too

If you want to get really classic, there are various opportunities to ride steam trains across the country every weekend.
Partially they even run as regular services. Like along the Yamaguchi Line. You can ride that train (SL Yamaguchi) with regular JR tickets (including the JRP).

>>1080560
I don't know if it was the exact same model, but I took a very similar train to this to Amanohashidate and back from Kyoto.
