Bicyclists who take their hobby on a roadway should be shot

>>2025779 I recall the history of it being that the court order allowed Metra to scrap it, not move it. The reasoning being that it wasn't moveable on its own wheels without major work, so the court limited them to scraping it on site.

Too soon... I know it has only been a few short years, but they were the last carrier in the U.S that was good. Anyone else feel the same about Continental or some other airline?

>>2024002 Fair enough, most of the flights we took were domestic or to the U.K so that makes sense why we avoided Northwest. I am guessing this was mostly done on DC-9s. I never had a chance to fly on one, but I always wanted to. I might go on a Delta flight on a 717 next year just to see what the passenger experience on this shirt of aircraft is like.

>>2025930 What? I am asking because I want a job. I am curious if anyone here has any insight about working these types of jobs. I can't exactly go into the interview asking "tell me about the bullshit I'll have to deal with in this job."
No idea why you think I'm bullying or trolling.
Also, I know it's a slow board.

Hoverboards/monowheels is now often banned on sidewalks, bike lanes and roads at the same time in many jurisdictions, making it useless. What should be the regulation for these vehicles? And how do we mobilize the public to get the laws changed?

>>2019383 Did two this fall. First was a very long group ride and I got done 170 miles at a pace of about 12mph avg. Lots of stop time though for meals and chilling. Great vibes even though I was spacing out 10 hours in at 5am. Sunrise makes all the difference.
The second was tougher. 12.7mph pace but banged out 114 miles with only about 90min so stopping over the day. Thighs were feeling it that night. I think I'll manage another metric or something on a random weekday this coming month, I really don't mind riding in pre-dawn and into the evening. It's less about having daylight and more about having the day free to do it. All of my centuries have also been on the touring rig with big tires and low gearing too so that didn't do me any favors. I really want to spend a day on either my road or quasi-rando bike just crushing pavement, I suspect I could probably bang out a metric with a long lunch stop and still be under 6 hrs. It really tests your bike fit too.

>>2025872 Surely a metric can be done fairly easily with a 2 hour ride, 45 min lunch and then a 2hr 15 ride to finish in 5 hours

Hiroshima said so At the moment, 18 threads in the catalog are about cars, /pol/ shit, or otherwise just generally have nothing to do with transportation. And they are the most active threads. It was never ideal, but how did this board get so bad?

If shimomo and fookin sram and campy and rotor all stepped up and offered, tomorrow, a 14 speed wireless groupset at the red/DA/super record level, with top tier everything including power meter finishing, weight, materials, variable length LOOK Zed style cranks 165-172.5mm, and also offered a 13 speed where literally the only difference was that it was about $1000 cheaper and also the 11 cog was locked out by DRM in the firmware but you could upgrade at any time by forking out the upgrade fee, would you? I would, and I wouldn't even be mad. Stallman is a funny guy but really it's just a tool. Fight me.
