The Amtrak Hiawatha has saved me at least 15 days of my life that would have otherwise been spent in traffic

>>1045032
The flight paths at O'Hare were changed quite a while back so now I don't hear planes fly overhead every half hour, which is nice. I still have to worry about the fact that at almost every second I have a chance of being stuck waiting for a train for an unknown amount of time, or being run over by feral soccer moms.

I can't tell if that's a model or not.

Only poorfags, the elderly, and mentally disabled people use public transit, everyone else has a CAR. Sperging out on public transit, unless you're a City Counsel member, is a sure sign of some sort of mental disorder. Better check yourself.

You should definitely switch bikes if it's the wrong size but I would give serious though to upgrading a bit too. Something like this ↓ is a hell of a lot more bike for not a whole lot more money.

I have a Giant TCR with campag centaur that I use most of the time in good weather/weekend rides but Im just looking to replace my cheaper bike. I work away a lot and I dont wanna take my main bike away with me in a work van all the time. The bike I'm selling is more for that kind of thing and commuting etc. A beater bike if you will.

Bought the Gravity Ave. D from bikesdirect on Friday
How fucked am I?

Do you mean los angeles proper or la county?
The simple solution is to have 12 lane freeways everywhere with extra wide lanes.

>>1034213
That video reminds of how much I hate everything

>>1034253
No, that's the simplistic non solution as it would create more congestion on the roads leading to the freeways.

The real solution is to give everyone an alternative to cars that's better at getting them where they want to go. There are many options, mostly rail based.

Looks to be a Japanese National Railways 481 series EMU.

The paint scheme and the nose also kinda look like Vindobona

Thank you

These bieks still are individual traffic though.
Given more people, a light rail might still be more efficient than a bus.

Bikes don't wear out the riding surface... I bet there is a bike specific road material that wouldn't need maintenance for decades

obviously less pollution

Healthier population could be neutral since end of life care is actually cheaper for fast dying fat smokers

>>1040905

Is it cheaper to take care of a physically and mentally capable 70 year old woman (my grandmother who lived a healthy life in the Caribbean) or a 1 legged, diabeetus, Alzheimer's, oxygen tank carrying 67year old (her cousin who lived an unhealthy life in America)

I hate that monorails have become a meme from a shitty Simpsons episode that aired over 20 fucking years ago.

They're actually a pretty efficient method of mass transit in the right circumstances.

That pic looks more like a nom-a-rail... maybe someone with some skill can caption it?

>>1007347
Is there any practical reason for putting it under the rail instead of putting the rail lower and putting the train above the rail? I'm curious.

Lacks a common gauge and has to pass through a bunch of countries with a million different trade laws.

>>1047128
It should be possible to construct a standard gauge connection between China and Iran.

Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Russia have a customs union

Yes, Hobart is terrible. I wouldn't want anybody else to come, for their own sake of course.

>>1042911
it would be great if you could get every bus timetable (i collect them) you see in hobart and mail them to me in the united states

but that's never gonna happen

>>1042911
So you're bitching because you had a bad flight. Or did you really expect there to be a train going 240 km across the Bass Strait?

I'd rather be fat, armed, lazy, and free, than forced into a horrible hell hole where simply defending yourself is a crime. No point in being forced to be healthy if you can't protect that. Coincidentally I am one of the slimmest and healthiest Americans, 125lbs and I bike every day. I don't even own a gun yet. Most hardcore conservatives and rednecks would probably consider me and my ideals, liberal garbage. But I'm glad that I can arm myself if I wish to, and that people can think dumb shit if they want. I'd rather see a dumb and happy person than a perfectly functional member of society who is a slave. I don't personally get along with most other Americans, but the freedom to do whatever we want no matter how stupid or genius is an overwhelming aspect in favor of this country over others that has yet to be topped by anyone else. So you can have your safe, unarmed citizens, and communistic society where no one gets hurt and everyone has to suffer for it, I'll keep my dumb, fat, lazy, free country.

Drive in the direction of the flow of traffic.

Pretty much. Bikes go with traffic, pedestrians go against.

This, and if you want to argue about it I suggest you refer to the drivers handbook from your local DMV, which covers this subject, or call your local police department and ask them.
