You're being weird and insecure about this. Dude was a proper cunt, and is going to get the shit kicked out of him some day soon if that's really the way he acts with people.

If you saw a hobo who pulled over the side of the street pretending to pick something up so he could jump you when you ride by you'd be pissed too.

>>1055269
The pissy fuck probably waited all day to get home & rage about his miserable life then decided to release on you, and why? Because you were clearing the way?

Hook him in the fuckin' gabber.

you're better off charting your own amtrak train as they will cover the insurance cost

your picture is curious though since Iowa Pacific operates the Hooiser State for Amtrak

>>1055014
The insurance is what's stupidly expensive about running your shit on Amtrak. I'm not sure that you can run an extra train with Amtrak, though. That comes down to agreements that they have with the owning railroad and you'd probably be better off negotiating that with them individually.

Now, if you own a passenger car you can tack it onto Amtrak for like $.60 a mile or something cheap like that. You can find the rate tucked away somewhere on the site. The problem is you need like a $1 million insurance policy and some place to store your car. The trick to cheap storage though is finding some small industry that you'd pay a small fee to store it on. Then you'd have to pay to get it spotted and pulled, which isn't all that cheap. Easily $1k each time.

>>1055192
My bad, it's like $2.20 a mile which isn't cheap, but consider a 1k mile trip will only cost you $2k and that's actually pretty cheap.

But like I said, switching and storage is expensive.

I remember reading somewhere that you need a 20m wingspan

>>1054473
If that isn't a work of art, I don't know what that is.

Literally 0 roads as cars are not allowed. Everything is transported by tram and everyone has a state-issued bike.
Cagers are sent to death camps.

The city is actually a giant train roaming the planet literal Snowpiercer style, but with the actual climate- and season matching. Residents travel between the thousands of train cars through a German hanging monorail line hanging off of the side of the entirety of the train.

Apartment cars, farm cars (biomes and all that), hospital cars, restaurant cars, everything is there. The council resides and governs from a blimp tethered to the top of the train, separated from the people.
When a councilman dies, a citizen is elected and sent to the blimp. This is the only time the blimp is lowered. The train does not travel through tunnels, but rather has shutters to simulate night time for the citizens inside.

>>1053991
yes

>>1053991

If you use the mtb to ride actual mtb trails then yes. Unless your hubs are the same you might have to adjust your brake calipers and/or rear derailleur slightly when you switch wheels, which isn't too bad.

People will tell you "huurrr it's not geared high enough" but even 36x11 is fine for inner-city usage.

>>1053998
Thanks, i did not think about breaks....I hate dealing with them honestly...but it couldn't hurt to get better.

Only the small tractors are the funicular, they push cars of an interurban tram that continue on their own on flatland sections.

This one ran from Umzinto to Donnybrook. They shut it down in 1987 after a bunch of track washed out. Most of the rail has been moved to Wales for their narrow gauge line.

Definitely my favourite one. Throughout the Natal there are a lot of narrow gauge lines because of the sugar plantations and so on.

Jesus Christ. I love cycling more than anything, but even I'm not thick headed to the point I'd ride a fucking road bike to a formal work event.

Either take a bike with flat bars so you don't have to worry about some bs with click clack Road shoes, or take the fucking bus or taxi.

How about these leather Dromartis OP?

I have a pair, they're pretty, but a bit more demanding than other cycling shoes in that they don't wick moisture except through the vent holes, but they're not much good at retaining warmth either - this means that you must choose socks carefully to avoid sweaty feet on hot days, and on cold days you're better off with a different pair of shoes if you're going to be on the bike for an extended length of time. You should also be aware that they run narrow like a lot of Euro brands.

You might also look at Specialized Sub-6 shoes that are made with faux leather but are still quite tasteful.

So because one company charges a ridiculous amount for a shitty bike that makes all electric bikes stupid?

>>1052306
Most of them are insanely over priced. Some for as much as $30k

We are literally butt-hurt from cycling so much.

>>1052198
Have you read the comments on any news story involving cyclists? Have you heard any talk radio discussion of cyclists?

The bigger question is why do motorists whom 90% or more are scofflaws, hate a vehicle 1/20th their weight breaking the same laws?

>>1052220
>breaking the same laws
Most people don't run lights and stop signs.
