> As a train enthusiast, none of these are brightlines fault. The only reason they have so many deaths are because of people doing stupid things around the tracks like trying to beat the train, or walking on the tracks.
Do you autists not realize how sociopathic this makes you look?
The train has killed over 180 people since 2017.
It's killing a person EVERY THIRTEEN DAYS.

>That cylinder is a mass dampener also known as a J dampener in physics.The purpose is to neutralize high frequency low amplitude oscillations.Mass dampeners are currently used in Moto GP and were banned in F1 in the mid 2000s.The mass dampener can also be placed on the fork,above the bottom bracket and as shown on the rear swing arm/triangle on a full suspension bike.
have these been used on road bikes yet? i have a stiff track bike fixie, anything that could improve performance or comfort would interest me. i haven't paid attention to bike stuff lately so idk if it has been mentioned on GCN/GMBN yet. GCN has done a lot of videos on tire pressure so i could see them experimenting with tuned mass dampers.

GPS used to be fancy, and is now affordable
Carbon frames used to be fancy, and are now affordable
Carbon aero wheels used to be fancy, and are now affordable
Hydraulic brakes used to be fancy, and are now affordable
Wireless shifting used to be fancy, and is now affordable
Good tires used to not even exist, and are now available albeit a little expensive
Lighting used to be heavy and annoying, now it clips to anything and you can light up the road with something the size of your thumb
Wide range cassettes used to be unimaginable, now some lazy people are even going 1x because they got filtered by 2x

It seems like it's all been done. Seriously, what's left. What else is there to improve? We even got bonuses like thru-axle, 3d printed saddles, internal routed everything, and aero frames/cockpits, which let's be honest, you weren't really expecting were you?

Can the cycling industry outdo itself or is it now a plateau of stagnation?

I stayed aboard the Queen Mary

Ocean liner fans rejoice! The Queen Mary reopened for hotel guests in May and in June, I had the privilege of spending two nights on board. I'll be uploading my album of the ship over the next few days and discussing the history of the ship that I learned while onboard.

Anyone good with old bikes? I intend to buy this one (auction website) for 20 bucks.
First i wonder what the brand on it is because i have no clue.
Second, it has been stored for probably decades inside. The gearing feels fine, no rust there and i can feel some oil gunge there.
