Any rowers on /n/? I haven't been in a boat since high school but I'm thinking about joining a local club to mix up my cycling training. Drop race reports, coxswain stories, and sweet pics below.
100% my fault for letting them take it out, but now its totally fucked. the top tube is humped and the bottom tube straight up sheared into an ugly grimace, the whole front end is toast. im a poorfag so my worldis kind of rocked and im doing my best to cope. advice welcomed

Question of the day:
Would be inland shipping a viable career to look into for a young anon in Germany?
I feel such embarresment when I see tourist lost and trying to find the right train to Schiphol Airport.
The Dutch Railways should pick up on these signals and improve the station and platforms.
My train departs across from the one that goes to Schiphol airport.
I tend to stay at the station 3-4 hours each day after work, pointing tourists in the right direction.
Till I'm too tired and hungry and I go home.
At home I'm too tired to cook and I eat a bowl of yohurt with fruit and go straight to bed.

We'll always have All the Stations, where they went to every single British train station over a few weeks in the summer. A great record for future generations.
This is like when my mum and dad split up and my dad lived in a Travelodge for a year
Wtf is this real? I thought you were the country of freedom and property rights.

I was thinking instead of those pesky traffic cameras we could install motion activated speed bumps. Just a series of blocks that normally sit flush with the road but raise up whenever someone does more than 5 or 8mph over the speed limit.
Since most car trips are 11 miles or less it doesnt make sense to use a 4,000 pound vehicle to move a single human from A to B and back.
What do you guys think?

>they can stop you real quick even at high speed
>they don't damage your rim (only a plus if you fell for the carbon meme)
>less likely to get wet and less effective in damp conditions
This is it. Cons:
>supposedly heavier, if you care about that
>need to be bedded in properly and nobody knows how to do it
>braking lightly over longer stints will glass them, so forget about going down a steep hill with a slightly pulled lever to maintain speed
>fucking expensive!
>pad prices are insane
>no-name pads are cheaper and better than official branded pads
>you need specific pads for the brakes you have
>hydros need bleeding every now and then and it's not something the average rider can do
>bleeding kits cost a lot
>unless you have thru-axles, you have to align the brakes each time you take your wheels off or they rub
>they will squeak eventually and they get dirty
>harder to clean
>resin pads are shit, get glassed by looking at them wrong and soak up grease particles like a vacuum cleaner
>don't touch the discs, ever!
>centerlock vs 6-screw, cause muh proprietary patents
And this is from a dude who actually kinda likes them, though only cause they are an upgrade from Vs. So why are they on every bike now? Well apparently not on everyone, rim brakes are still there in 2022, but guess what, customers prefer discs and it's not viable to mass produce rim brakes, cause bikes with those don't sell. And at this point I don't even think it's marketing. People generally believe, that since hydro discs are so good on cars, they must be as good on bikes.Now here's the big question, for me discs vs rims are basically the same topic as LCD vs CRT. But you know what? LCDs at least got cheap. So, since most customers want discs, and almost all bikes come with them, why the price?

My chinesium, nth hand, hand me down bike broke, again, so I want to replace it with a folding bike since I commute by train everyday; I also do evening deliveries on my bike (yes I'm poor) so the daily km tally is quite high. For that reason I want to avoid the cheapest, crappiest bikes to be found on Amazon and I'm willing to spend (a little) extra for a bike that somewhat reliable.
I live in Euroland. All I know about folding bikes is that Decathlon sells a few models and while they're decent quality for the price I should avoid the cheapest one. Anyone familiar with Decathlon Tilt 500 or 900 models? Any reason to prefer one over the other?
See for yourself. It looks absolutely dope.

https://nypost.com/2022/04/30/15-hurt-in-atlanta-pedal-pub-accident/
Two people were critically hurt and another 13 injured when a pub on wheels overturned in midtown Atlanta, according to reports.
The Saturday evening incident unfolded when the “pedal pub” — a large vehicle which can carry up to 15 passengers, who often pedal while drinking booze — tried to negotiate a turn and flipped over, 11Alive reported.A fire official told one Fox5 Atlanta Reporter two people were critically injured, while three others were seriously hurt and 10 suffered minor injuries.
Witnesses leapt into action to help right the overturned pedal pub and help the victims, one person told Fox5 Atlanta.
“The public, I was so impressed, just intervened so quickly,” the woman said.
Enjoying them for the most part, except the one where he imagined that the Trevor Jacob video was CGI.
>walk 10 minutes to train

I can do the whole thing door to desk in under 30 minutes.
FUCK public transport for a million reasons, so no public transport, please.
Live in the country, and don't want to get gutted by a pickup truck - I really like the concept of the enclosed velomobiles, but these are still a decade away from being on the market.
I wish there was a sub-$4000 electric-assist enclosed vehicle with 3-4 wheels that didn't need license, insurance, or registration (have all those, but they're a fucking pain in the ass, and I hate the general bullshit of dealing with cars.)
Hell, all I need is a 70km range, and I'm all set.
Closest so far is an electric recumbent tricycle.
What is the benefit of a casette over a freewheel
A freewheel seems pretty convenient to me desu
because the whole thing is a single unit and the wheels they thread on are cheap unlike wheels with freehubs
90 rpm at 5km/h
90 rpm at 10km/h
90 rpm at 15km/h
90 rpm at 20km/h
90 rpm at 25km/h
I've been thinking about gear ratios and this seems the minimal amount of gears on could get by with.
It will allow me to tackle hard climbs and headwinds at a healthy cadence.
And I rarely exceed 25 km/h on a touring rig with 4 loaded panniers and two top loads on the flats. Heavy speeds with heavy loads are dangerous as well plus I just coast downhill. I find low gearing is much more important to save the knees, big gears are redundant for me.
Now what are the gear combinations I need to achieve this?

You must be one of those people wasting more time parking/securing their PEV than riding it.
Also, gear up! (at least helmet, wrist guards, knee pads, elbow pads).

WHY
http://www.bhpc.org.uk/short-and-sweet-a-discussion-on-crank-length-by-mike-burrows.aspx
For me changing to short cranks changed cycling for me. It made much longer trips possible because greatly reduced stress on the knees.
Is there anyone here lucky enough to live in a city/town/country where streetlights haven't been replaced by these white aberrations?
So many have been butchered into ebikes and its only going to get worse
What can be done to educate the public about this wasteful fad?
It crushes me inside to see them like that
>used by rich middle aged men and women
>still the absolute best folding bike especially for anyone who lives in any of the only reasonable places to live in the world, any major city
>hated for their userbase despite this being a board that sucks off efficiency

Starting with a pic the neat Tatra KT4DCs of Potsdam.
It certainly affects the structural integrity but my question is does it affect it enough to matter?
and why the fuck are there ebikes that go over 30 mph without one?
Look at this thing, it's cool as hell and basically repair free.

Don't really understand mopeds but if they come in 125cc then suggestions are welcome too.
Gonna be for general, non-special usage. A bit of dirt road once a while, a semi-long trip once in a while. Most of the time, driving around urban hoods and enjoying some uphills.
Probably gonna need a storage box or something added to it.
You'll know the pros and cons. Which should I go for? Budget limited to 125cc quality or 200cc cheap brand.

1- faster than bicycles and more realiable
2-safer and easier to ride will stop automatically when sense danger
3- theft proof (mostly)
4-will protect you from road ragers by kicking them back to their shithole
5- will love you forever and become your best friend
6- respects other drivers and doesnt annoy them or hold line for them
7-very healthy for envornmemt since it produce fertilizers and stinky land mines for fraud cyclists who claim to be nature friend
8-will take you almost anyway and can go through any type of harsh surfaces with no problem
9- let you ride hand free if you need acess to your phone or weapon in case you are being attacked by butthurted jealous broke cyclists

All in the span of 6 years
Instead of sucking the BIG BIKE HOMO DICK and throwing all your shekels down the drain for the latest chinese carbon frame with a limited lifespan and whatever other big buck fad part the marketing team has cooked up for this year, we should look elsewhere for inspiration. Somewhere real, with real world applications.
Enter the Swiss MO-93, or Militärrad 93. Here we have an all steel beast that's been refined since WW2, and has never failed the extreme real-world trials of the military. Derailleur guard, racks, dynamo headlight, trailer, hydraulic rim brakes, ceramic-coated rims, frame bags, spring saddle, fenders and all for just 25 kilograms! Everything you could ever want, everything that was stolen from us, everything that should come as standard equipment at a reasonable price. If it were like this we could have our dutchbike utopia too, but alas spandexfags and consoomers have ruined everything. If it's good enough for the Dutch, and good enough for the Nips, and most importantly good enough for the military, it's good enough for you.
>n-noooo I can't go fast on it it's 2 heavy
Ummm, sweaty, I think soldats know more about being fast on a bike when they're LITERALLY BIKING FOR THEIR LIFE. You will never get good training on children's plastic toys, but you will become god hauling cabbages on your dutchbike every day.
TL;DR
Dutchbikes are the true chad cyclist's choice. Steel is real.
What is the best city in NA, transportwise?
Is NA improving?
seriously how the fuck can tiny cities in european countries afford to build high quality electrified LRT so easily?
I'll begin:
>I haven't payed for public transport in about two years now
I ride the train to and from uni each weekday and the line I run on does not have any gates or ticket inspectors. As a student the monthly pass is quite the chunk of my monthly income so it's not like I would pay anyway.
What nasty /n/ related things have you been up to?
I want to live car-free there and I want to cycle through winter. I understand that Ottawa has one of the worst winters in a big city.
What do I need to do to be able to cycle when it's snowing? Does it make sense for me to buy a Fuji Touring Disc and swap the tyres for winter, studded tires when it starts to snow? Do I also need to install mittens on the handlebars?
Any Canadians, Americans, Finnish, Russian, Norwegian, Swedish, Icelanders, Greenlanders, Scottish or some other people that could share some experiences?
You guys are literally the people I trust the most for actual, relevant opinions on what's legit reasonable to do while cycling
