>and Europe
Better than Japan maybe, but nod really.

>>1045236
Japan is a mountainous island with limited natural resources - so rail is more expensive to build, there's fewer bulk materials to be transported than in most countries of comparable geographic size, and sea transport is a competitor in many places.

>>1045244
Japan is only the size of California and most of the population is concentrated in a few major urban areas on the coasts so it makes more sense to ship most goods by water or trucks.

Ok lads

Road or field in an engine-out scenario

Road is somewhat straight has light traffic, field looks relatively smooth with no cows and light grass-like vegetation

wew what happened here? Run over by a truck?

I don't think a helmet would have saved her.

The GTR for sure, while the Hellcat would be very fun, the GTR is more refined and practical.

Challenger is pretty sexy desu. I saw one in real life for the very first time and was surprise to see they still made good looking cars.

Dildo saddle

Rack, panniers, lights

I hope the boy wasn't just being a cheeky lil cunt. If he sincerely was being an asshole, you did the right thing.

And the name of the lady? Abraham Lincoln

>>1041682
He was being an asshole. Of course, I asked him politely to stand up but he was just laughing.
After that he became red like a tomatoe and exited the next stop.

MFW 26+ is the new flavor of the month wheel size because 27.5+ was actually more like a 29er and no longer hip.

Sonic pressure.

mtb industry is a fucking meme. Roads bike sport has more than 100 years and the changes on the wheels have been pretty minimal.

Ugh, so boring

Obviously you need a more refined taste to appreciate a surly ECR with a carbon belt Rohloff drive train, hbar handlebars and a fine brooks saddle. That Eddie Merikx is "hrng" tho.

The shifters and derailleurs are a turn off on that though. They look so out of place.

>>1046042
It's indisputable that 28mm tires are faster than 25's, though.

>>1046042
And then, next step is to push back to 23mm because of groundbreaking new memetunnel research that shows that in fact 23mm is fastest
>b-but if I put 23mm tires on this bicycle designed for 28mm, I'll have too much gap between my tires and my stays/forklegs, and I'll look like the fred that I am! We can't have people knowing I'm a fred so I guess I'll have to go buy a new bike made specifically for 23mm tires! Here's more shekels rabbi, thank you for this enlightening information on which tires are fastest!

Aside from Rail Wars, I don't think so.

Thanks, I'll be sure to check it out

Kabaneri had steam trains carrying zombie outbreak survivors

Galaxy Railways is set in the Leiji-verse (Yamato, Harlock) with SPACE TRAINS motherfucker

Classic 999 stuff

But nothing about real trains offhand aside from Railwars recently,, maybe that one about female JP foamers...

But if being a taxi is your job, can't you write off gas as a work expense?

good but more points for steam

File: zscs1252r[1].jpg (1B, 486x500px)

1B, 486x500px

I'm OK with less points

I built a wheel today that has a radial outward kick that just won't seem to go away with any combination of tightening spokes immediate to the kick or manipulating spoke tension at the diametric opposite of the kick. Do I just go ahead and redo the whole thing? Rim is circular and it was fine before I pulled it apart.

That's a thing?

Does it involve those guys who have Harley like bicycles and then struggle to get them above 8mph?

>why can't bike punks just grow up?
they'll grow up or die of a heroin OD. they're generally crypto-marxists over actual anarchists as well, because punk rock is brainwash. i know this because i used to be one.
