Any online guides or resources on how to get things attached to bike?
I want to move a full-sized mirror from IKEA to my house, no subway options, and don't want to ask for a car. Also, most of the way is by the bike lanes, about 10km.

So, how do I? Inb4 rope, wagon

Jist found that starions in the guangzhou BRT system are 6 lanes width.... why would one want to make the station so wide?

What? Korean namu wiki's article about BRT said Istanbul IETT Metrobus system's min interval is 8 seconds?

The only truly special things about this bike are the high-spoke count wheels and the overbuilt rear rack, unless you're planning to use your bike similar to pic related, they're total overkill for everyday riding and commuting. The ordinary racks and wheels you find on bikes in western countries are perfectly strong (assuming the wheels are properly built, trued, and tensioned - this is the usual failing of cheap bikes sold at places like Walmart).

As far as low maintenance goes, the key features are the fenders, chainguard, singlespeed drivetrain, and coaster brake. The first three are standard options for singlespeed bikes or accessories you can easily add to a SS bike which prolong the life of the drivetrain. Coaster brakes are great for low maintenance and widely available, as long as you don't have lots of steep hills they're perfectly serviceable.

If you're in the US and want a bike just like the one pictured, you can buy a Worksman utility bike. Otherwise any simple bike from a proper bike shop will work as well for everything short of transporting bricks, livestock, etc.

90's mtb frames are far from indestructible. I've bent and snapped many. They're heavy and flexy plus if they've been sitting outside in the elements they're probably rusted to fuck on the inside. Which is almost as sketchy as riding cracked carbon.

Even a $400 single speed, mechanical disc Bikesdirect MTB is a massive upgrade over that meme.

They look a lot like some of the trains Norrtåg uses up in north sweden. Runs at around 190km/h, must be careful with the coffee in steep curves otherwise they are ok.

My favourite train is the X2000 tilting train, can stand up and drink coffe at 200km/h without worrying, my favorite train of the ones i have tried.

>>1034162
too bad i suck at painting or i would outline the funny face that train has going on

>>1034197
Also. the only train running in Denmark that has a cool name.

I mean. x2000. wauw. Space!

In nature, yes.

I believe Abbey also suggested that all national parks ought to be closed to motorized traffic of all kinds. He imagined something like bikeshare being available at the entrance to parks. (prob. in Desert Solitaire, but it could be in one of his novels, don't recall offhand).

>>1031415
>“No more cars in national parks. Let the people walk. Or ride horses, bicycles, mules, wild pigs--anything--but keep the automobiles and the motorcycles and all their motorized relatives out. We have agreed not to drive our automobiles into cathedrals, concert halls, art museums, legislative assemblies, private bedrooms and the other sanctums of our culture; we should treat our national parks with the same deference, for they, too, are holy places. An increasingly pagan and hedonistic people (thank God!), we are learning finally that the forests and mountains and desert canyons are holier than our churches. Therefore let us behave accordingly.”

>>1031423
Yeah, that's DS. Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure the quote about having a fleet of bikes available at each park is in MWG if anyone wants to look it up (book is worth reading regardless)..

The Selby Avenue Streetcar Tunnel was built in Saint Paul, Minnesota to allow streetcars to climb a steep hill. It replaced an earlier cable car. It was closed and sealed when the streetcar system was abandoned and replaced with buses.

The Cincinnati Subway tunnel was built through downtown but was abandoned due to rising costs and the Great Depression. It was never built and still sits unused.

I'm glad for NYC but 3 new stations is such a pathetic expansion, seriously.

>>1035681
We are lucky to get that. The Second Avenue subway was talked about in the 1920s. They took down all the els in Manhattan when they should have kept them.

Specifically either the Second or Third Avenue El's. Either (or both) would have relieved future congestion from the Lexington Avenue Line like as have now.

Destroying the EL's was dumb decision by both the city, and NYCTA.

Let's also not forget how they were gunning to tear down Grand Central as well.

Whyte hardtails are very good. I don't know if they sell them in Germany yet but they're extremely high quality.

heavy duty zip ties are the best option imo

This front nitto rack broke a weld before the zip ties holding the basket broke

Oops, I misread.

You suggested zipties, not straps. Sorry.

Problem with the zipties is that they're semi-permanent. Will have to remove/reapply them every time I have to remove the crate.
