If I passed you, don't take it personally. It's because you're slow, weak, and have no stamina. No, don't look at my bike. I could smoke you any day, even you were riding a Colnago Gioello, and I could do it on a $100 BSO from Walmart. Little man, learn to take defeat gracefully. I won, fair and square.

If you passed me, chill out dude, you're such an insecure tryhard. You wasted all that money to win a race that only exists in your head. Sure I could have been a pro, still could if I'm being honest, but that kind of thing doesn't interest me, I have nothing to prove to myself. So why should I try to prove anything to others, let alone you? Stop and smell the roses, that's my philosophy.

The third anniversary of the deadliest railway crash in Greek history is in a few days so I figured I'd make this thread.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempi_train_crash
30 years ago, dozens of trains daily serviced many greek cities, today, only one line is operational, linking the two biggest cities with just two trains a day. This is a combination of Greece having a very car-centric culture, the population concentrating in these two cities to the point where the countryside is all but abandoned, and powerful inter-city bus companies lobbying against trains.
Infrastructure is severely outdated, since funds for upgrades are embezzled between officials and the private company owning the railway since the 2017 so even if there was demand, the system just couldn't take it and a lot of the disused lines would have to be essentially rebuilt. Do you think there's any way rail in Greece can be salvaged?

Road signs. What do you think of them? Which country does them the best? Would you change anything in the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals?

Is it worth trying to become a pilot, or will everything be AI by the time you have your license?

Although I set out some preferences for the last one I ended up settling for literally anything to do with Britain. Those preferences about foreign exports and rare diversions remain in place but otherwise post what you like as long as it fits the broader requirement

I was thinking of picking up one of those cheapo Aliexpress carbon forks, but my buddy probably rightfully talked me out of it due to safety concerns.
Where should I buy an affordable carbon fork in 26" for rim brakes (in Yurop)?

I saw there's threads of any kind but not for the most important part of the bike, the seat.
So this it will be a /bsg/ Bike seat general
Tell me your most comfortable seat, because I got a shitty standard one that break my ass

I am 37 and got fired from my tech job of 16 years over something stupid. My product manager was mad about it and promises to be a great reference in looking for a new job and I have a security clearance which is very valuable. All that plus my experience I think I can get another similar job pretty easily. However I am tired of tech. I own ~$700k of company stock that I will receive in a year and a half. Tell me how stupid of a plan this is.
>sell house for ~$300k profit
>use house profit to rent an apartment and pay for flight school
>in 1.5 years be probably making peanuts as CFI but can buy a house cash
>in a few years be making big bucks again as commercial pilot
I also have about $100k of crypto that can be leveraged if need be. Why the hell not?

What would you do in this situation?

i have like 700 bucks to my name and i gotta get the fuck out of this country (canada) what do i do? how do i get out? how do i make money on the way?
