Transit can serve *residential* sprawl perfectly fine. What it can't handle is *commercial* sprawl.

2) Aesthetically, what do you think is the best looking liner?

If you're unfamiliar with train travel, take a look at National Rail's journey planner, at nationalrail.co.uk/ - tell it where you're travelling from and to, and it'll show you a few options before handing you over to a train company so you can buy a ticket. For the same journey, they'll all charge the same price, so it doesn't matter who you buy one from. The best option for overseas visitors would be to use thetrainline.com/ - it'll support your language and payment card.
Here's a few links:
~The Man in Seat 61 (seat61.com/) - easily the best rail travel resource out there.
~A Visual History of Railway Rolling Stock in Great Britain (gaelan.me/br-stock/)
~Geoff Marshall (youtube.com/@geofftech2) - likes trains. Mostly harmless.
~Jago Hazzard (youtube.com/@jagohazzard) - London train history. Ditto.

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?

Yep, it turns out e-scooters were the ultimate form of commuting transportation all along.
Imagine if a bunch of politicians started pushing for a special residential area for a certain group, after having them habitually assaulted with weapons for many years. "We're terribly sorry about all the bloodshed but can't guarantee your safety, if you want to be safe, you have to go in this special place we designated for you".
That is what bike lanes are. We've tried "separate but equal". It doesn't work, because tyranny of the majority means a highly flexible definition of "equal".
People who have been riding bikes for many decades know what the game is. But zoomers and corona cyclists believe they know best. Instead of demanding justice, they demand segregation. Which is exactly what the automotive supremacists want.
At a surface level it is obviously meant to (proverbially) throw other cyclists under the bus, but to what end? Would it somehow appease the anti-bike people if the person "blocking traffic" didn't agree to be referred to by the word "cyclist"?

Remember when cycling was exciting? There were new design innovations every year. Now it's all static. Just the same shit over and over at lower levels of value. Surly is an embarrassment these days
If you're on that flight make sure you take a selfie for the Guinness world record
Meanwhile, road traffic especially in cities is busy and full of cars, cyclists and pedestrians going every which way. Now add to that that you're gonna be sharing a lane with a TRAIN. What happens when there's a red light? Can't stop. Sorry, everyone else. Mum crosses the street with her stroller and doesn't see you coming? Oops. All of the accidents that happen with trams speak for themselves. Did you know 48 % of all pedestrian injuries and fatalities in Gotheburg were caused by trams? 52% for all the other vehicles combined. How many trams are there in comparison?
The perfect urban transit method has already been invented and it's called a bus. All problems the tram "solves", all of its supposed advantages are done better by BRTs, buses (can go anywhere on the road, don't need dedicated tracks) and metro trains (carry more people faster over longer distances). There is simply no argument to be had for trams. They are a nostalgic gimmick at best.
1. Acquire all of the surviving rolling stock (sleepers, dining cars, dome/observation cars, baggage cars, etc.) from the original consist from private owners, heritage railways, and museums, as well as matching surviving locomotives (can be from ones different railroads since thousands of functionally and aesthetically identical EMD F and E units were sold to all Class I railroads). Renovate them as necessary to make them FRA-compliant, obtain waivers wherever possible. Put them into service as a part-luxury train, part-mobile museum.
2. Commission the construction of a replica consist. Building entirely new streamlined cars from scratch, designed to match the internal and external appearance of its original as much as possible, with changes only being made when it's literally required to make the car FRA-compliant/modern user friendly (updated wiring, HEP, power outlets at seats, WiFi support, replacing wooden paneling with MDF paneling etc.). Motive power consists of custom-built Siemens Chargers designed to resemble the original E and F units (streamlining, bulldog noses, matching paint schemes, etc.) as much as legally possible.

In some places it's so obvious I wonder why the one-way still stands.
Which line would you build first?
Unfortunately I haven't gone to it yet since the bus is more convenient where I live, though it looks impressive from the photos I've seen, especially by Greek standards.
Though I'm not sure what they were thinking with the logo(they paid 30 thousand euros for it btw)
What kind of transportation would be feasible on this island? I imagined the country as a British colony settled in the early 18th century and gaining its independence after WWII. The population is around 1.8 million, though the overwhelming majority live in the twin cities of Kingsport and Arkham. The interior of the main island is sparsely populated and mountainous, with a few dormant volcanoes.
I'm trying to imagine the rail lines connecting all the cities on the south coast, and the ferry system between Kingsport and Arkham.
So let's post our walkscores and let's see how bad things really are. If any of the there numbers are under 90 you don't belong here.

I live in Asia and work in the army maintaining aircraft.
I would like to obtain an American A&P license and make it my job.
Would military maintenance experience meet the requirements for A&P?
By the way, my current maintenance qualification is only available to the military.
I am also thinking of using the ASA eBook as my A&P textbook, so I would appreciate it if you could tell me how you studied.
So it looks like if I'm not too hung up on getting a name brand duende meme bike I can probably pick up what looks like a pretty good steel frame for under $3k. Possibly even less. But then I'd really have to go with some pretty narrow, hard, puncture-prone tires, and I just don't have the energy for that shit. I haven't struggled with inner tubes and frame pumps in pelting ice cold rain by the side of the road in years and I like it that way, latex blood runs through my veins. But TPU was invented, and that's caused me to begin doubting my faith.
Would I be consumed with post-purchase rationalization if I fell for the steel meme? Are steel bikes and rim brakes the cast iron of bikes? Opinionated attention whores who need to have something to argue about at all times so they pick the most argumentative pointless crap that has a grain of truth that gets overemphasized at the expense of the big picture? Or is there something to this memery?
Before you start your angry typing, I am a mamil with crabon and aero and absolute black and all that stuff, so please, be accurate with your strawmanning.

Nabisco built a big factory in my hometown a few years ago, but we're like 2.5 hours from a major city. So I'm wondering why they didn't just build outside Atlanta or Nashville or Charlotte.
Inside city limits you have to deal with a lot of traffic, but right outside the city you can still get trucks around. Though maybe they built in my city because we have freight rail.

I have a question. Shimano has two types of front derailleurs - For 63-66 and 66-69 angles. Am I doing it right? Is that the angle shimano is talking about? If so - the derailleur for this particular bike would be 66-69 one, correct?
If I'm wrong - what's the correct way? I've read that 63-66 are for hardtails and 66-69 are for full suspension bikes, but holy shit, every bike I've measured this way has the angle wider than 66 degrees - EXCEPT some full suspension MTBs. I'm confused.
Imagine if you could just stop at a gas station and fill this little black box behind the seat tube in 4 seconds instead of risking a house fire to charge it overnight.

Biking in the suburbs tends to suck. Sure, they sometimes have some nice recreational pathways, and many residential streets are fine for short trips. But most suburbs are not set up to support cycling for transportation, especially on the enormous arterials with the most destinations. But what if cycling in the suburbs sucked less? And what if, eventually, it didn’t suck at all?
It's a 100 year old, 6 mile rail tunnel through the mountains in Colorado. Apparently there's no ventilation and very little clearance with the walls.

I've been using pic related for a year or so now and it was pretty comfy, but I realized that parts and replacements for that kind of bike are rare and very expensive for some reason
To the point that I think is better to just buy a new bike and just forget about it, I have like 300 bucks so maybe I get a cheap fixed gear or single speed since I liked that kind of bike
But do you think I could get a gravel bike with my budget? what bike do you recommend me?
I plan to build up a fatbike to do everything with. Commute, shopping, taking it on vacations and riding it literally on every terrain. Maybe even get a small trailer for my dog.

Of course off road cycling has many points of origin, in the UK we have the 'rough Stuff fellowship', which claims to be the oldest off road cycling club in existence and predates the Repackers by several decades, here's a link to a thread that talks about that.
>https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/rewriting-mountain-bike-history.226245/
No doubt throughout the history of the bicycle right across the planet, small groups and individuals independently 'invented' mountain biking' by simply taking whatever bikes they had and riding them in the wild. It would be great to learn more about the history of mans off road cycling adventures and perhaps discover where this amazing sport really was birthed.
Share any images and stories here.

>“These gently used, lovingly maintained 1985 F40 diesel locomotives could be yours,” the listing states. “The historic locomotives come with 40 years of service, and more than 1,000,000 miles traveled. Perfect for your model train set, train-themed diners, ornamental lawn decor or planter box, unconventional bed n breakfast or just to show up your overly gnomed neighbor’s lawn.”
> When Caltrain completes its electrification project with full service Sept. 21, it will retire most of its diesel fleet. Almost 100 gallery cars will likely be sold to another operator, said Caltrain spokesman Dan Lieberman, and the locomotives are being split up by age.
>Nine newer diesel locomotives will remain in use for the Gilroy service, which isn’t undergoing electrification because Caltrain doesn’t own that portion of the corridor. However, Caltrain has 20 diesel locomotives that have passed their expected retirement dates and will no longer be operational.
>These older trains might be scrapped, Lieberman said, but first, Caltrain wanted to give rail fans the opportunity to bring them home and make something out of them.
>The engine must be disabled and the buyer must cover the costs of storage and transportation, according to the listing. The locomotives will officially go up for auction in October.

Defining terms:
--Inner urban: every building is 4+ stories
--Outer urban: Like dense suburbs, street parking (if available) is always parked out or requires tickets/permits
--Suburbs: Developed areas where you can drive and be 100% certain free parking will be available at or near your destination
--Semi-rural: Outskirts of a larger city, blocks are far bigger than residential lots but not big enough for large scale commercial farming
==Rural: Small towns or farmland
--Buttfuckistan: Australian outback tier, the nearest fuel station is 110 km away and it's a busy day when it gets 2 customers in the same hour

While most 17-year-olds are only just beginning to consider the idea of leaving the nest, Lasse Stolley has already been on his own for over a year and a half. Convinced that his school studies were already behind him, he convinced his parents to allow him to leave their home in Fockbek, Schleswig-Holstein to embark on a unique train-hopping adventure. It took a lot of convincing, but they eventually agreed, and for the last year and a half, the German teen has essentially been living on trains, traveling all over his home country, working as a self-employed coder during the day, and sleeping on night trains at night.
“I’ve been living on the train as a digital nomad for a year and a half now,” Lasse told Business Insider. “At night I sleep on the moving Intercity Express (ICE) train and during the day I sit in a seat, at a table and work as a programmer, surrounded by many other commuters and passengers. I travel from one end of the country to the other. I’m exploring the whole of Germany.”
He gave into his wanderlust in 2022, selling most of his possessions and packing what was left in a 36-liter backpack that he has been carrying with him ever since. Minimalism and resisting the urge to acquire new stuff are an essential part of his lifestyle, as he needs to take everything with him wherever he goes. It’s not always easy, but he has found a way to make it work.

Nashville’s seen incredible growth the last decade but has basically zero transit (and not even an Amtrak route) and terrible traffic. Transit is the most obvious dollar-for-dollar improvement you can make for residents there.

A similar estimate, but over a longer period of time puts trains at $2T, their fuel nowadays is electricity, which can be clean, but also creates infrastructure that contributes to society.
This estimate doesn't include private capital (aside from buying passes/tickets/gas, but I can assure you that it only puts the gap MUCH wider)
Isn't it time we give up on the frankly silly idea that everyone needs their own personal asphalt eating tank? I'm not saying you have to live in the city, i'm just saying a tram (for the disabled) to the market from a suburb or a simple direct, tree covered, bike way is more than enough.

>Intervals 3x/wk
>Strength routine (Kettlebell + pullups) 2x/wk
>Long ride on weekends
I've literally never done any strength stuff in my life before and generally hate it compared to cardio.
