Thoughts on Comac's C919? Would you fly on a made in China plane?

>>1991559
I'd rather fly in a C919 than a 737 Max

I'd rather let someone else do the beta testing.

An oligopoly of the world market with only two companies will lead to a corrupt structure like Boeing, but only when another option is added and there are three, will the principle of competition among companies be born.

>>1991559
>5 aircraft in service
No thanks

>>1991559
>Would you fly on a made in China plane?
No because to get anywhere that flies them I'd have to take a Boeing and die immediately after takeoff

>>1991636
I read that individual component failure and assembly fault problems are so pervasive, even the Chinese aviation authority won't allow a C919 to be delivered without individually going through a battery of tests that is almost as extensive as type certification test. The CCP knows that if any C919 has an accident, it will be a deep reputational hole to dig out of, and China may not be able to sell a single commercial airliner to a non-third world country for many decades to come.

>>1991559
TRULY MOST IMPLESSIVE!
CHYNA NUMBA WAN!

>>1991559
Seems like a copy of the A320ceo. I'd never fly on one, not only because it's a chink deathtrap but because it isn't certified by any country that matters.

engines not even built by them, come back when they can actually make one from scratch instead of just putting prefabricated parts together

>>1992228
You could say that about ANY aircraft manufacturer. The Chink 320 uses the LEAP engine, which is a good powerplant by all standards and I probably wouldn’t be upset at the idea of flying in one. That said, no interest in going to the PRC unless they make an autonomous enclave for American huwhites because mainland China under the CCP is Hellish and you’re expected to get by without any labor rights.

I'd be embarrassed bragging about the J-20. The only thing it got right is using canards and thrust vectoring together. Congrats on mass producing mediocrity I guess

>>1993052
Building ships and planes are different. They have very little experience in designing or building original airframes (not licensed from the USSR) in the commercial sector, they have no domestically-produced commercial jet engines, and no competitive domestically-produced avionics. Yeah they may have made significant progress in the last 40 years in the aviation sector but I would argue very little innovation considering much of the technical advancement is thanks to licensed manufacturing of Russian engines and airframes and copying western manufacturers. Also don’t assume that military advancement will somehow magically transfer to the commercial aviation sector; the two are not the same.

>>1993067
Zhang whining about moving goalposts then posts the biggest cope, switches sports, and breaks down into tears.
China numa wan!!!!!!!

>>1993067
forgot to mention, China is not the second strongest air force in the world, that title goes to the US Navy rumao

>>1993085
so what you're saying is Chinese are incompetent and need computers to do the design work for them?

>>1993091
China's airforce is rivaled by the aircraft of American boat boys. Embarrassing

>>1993096
China wasn't even remotely competitive until computers made their planes instead of the Soviets or God forbid their own nationals.
>>1993096
the gap from #1 to #2 is comically large. I genuinely want to go to war with China for the sole purpose of the embarrassment it would bring to the biggest stain on humanity. They won't touch Taiwan because they know they can't hold their own against the US. You kiddos need to sit down and get back to work making cheap plastic doodads because labor is all your country is good for.

>>1993085
I'm not saying they can't build ships man, I don't know why you keep referring to shipbuilding as an analogue for airplane manufacturing. Completely different animals.
>they don't need innovation
They most certainly do need innovation because there is no reason to invest in a domestically-produced Chinese airliner if airlines can purchase or lease western jets at a lower cost. With western jets the infrastructure already exists, and the airline will already be contracting with foreign companies for the engines anyways. If they want to break into the civil aviation market without daddy Xi forcing domestic airlines to purchase/lease domestic airframes they are gonna have to come up with something that offers a competitive advantage. They may be communist on paper but they are capitalists in practice.
>military-civilian advancement is the same
No. For civilian aviation the goal is to maximize profit margin by maximizing aircraft efficiency, safety, system integrity and redundancy, and get those MX intervals as wide as can be. The airline must operate in the black if it is to survive long-term. The more efficient the design the easier it is to meet that profitable threshold. The military cares only about performance, which can come at a significant operating costs (far in advance of the operating margin an airline has to work with). Designing a fighter and an airliner are two way different beasts. Pro-tip: the material sciences and aerodynamic principles are well known and established by this point. It is about designing the airframe and engines to suit the goals of the operator: minimum unit and operating costs with long service intervals and operational reliability. The difference between the military and civilian sector is that in the latter all 3 are required.

>>1993091
>large portion are transports
transport aircraft are vastly more powerful than combat aircraft. logistics win wars, and in terms of logistics the USAF has four times as many C-17's as the rest of the world combined, and vastly C-17's more than any countries fleet of woefully inferior stratetigc airlifters, and a fleet of C-130H's and C-130J's that dwarf any rival. the USAF has more ski equipped boutique C-130's than most countires have tactical airlifters overall.

really the whole
>the two most powerful air forces in the world are the USAF and the USN
quip hardly captures the disparity in power projection between the US and the rest of the world.

>>1991559

why china can build commercial jet but japanese can't?
look up mitsubishi spacejet
>development suspended
>As flight testing took longer than expected, the scheduled entry into service was further pushed back until development was first paused amid the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on aviation[2] and subsequently suspended indefinitely.[3]
oh no no no

>>1994374
Yeah and? The financial situations for Mitsubishi and Comac are wildly different. Mitsubishi needed their project to have a chance at making profit at some point to make sense at continuing. The Comac project is part of prestige and preparedness for the Chinese state.

There's no doubt that Mitsubishi could have taken their project to the end and produced a good aircraft. But not while keeping it profitable.

I also have no doubt that Comac can produce a working aircraft. This first one certainly won't be turning a profit for them. But it's both a prestige project and preparedness/anti-sanction safeguard for the future. All the tech needed is relatively simple for it, they just need to get the manufacturing together. And while they produce a lot of chink shit the Chinese can also manufacture pretty much anything they want in high quality.

You can try to be a little less obvious Zhang, it would help your cause.
Your aircraft will only be sold to third world countries, at a loss, in USD. The world knows what to expect from China and an airplane built to those expectations will never be anything but a total commercial failure.

>>1994417
Sorry but even my normie not online friends are talking about how to avoid flying Boeing

Not bothering with US regulations is probably the only reason comac got ahead, really. Look at how many E175-E2s have been sold.

Delta Cycle and Dimension stem raisers are being recalled because they can shift during use and pose a fall hazard.

The recall affects about 500,000 units sold in the U.S., and about 8,510 sold in Canada. The affected Delta Cycle stem raisers are model numbers TD3318B, TD3318S, TD3418B, and TD3418S. The Dimension model numbers are SM1977 and SM1979. All of the models were sold in black and silver and measure between 5 and 7 inches high.

Consumers should stop using the recalled models and contact Delta Cycle to schedule a free repair at an independent bike dealer. Delta Cycle can be reached at 800-474-6615 from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday; by email or online.

No injuries have been reported, but there has been one report of a stem riser shifting during use. The stem risers were sold at REI and local bicycle stores nationwide and online at designbydelta.com and Amazon.com from January 1998 through January 2024 for about $46

Crap for stupid people that want to lose their teeth

>>1992721
I think most cyclists (read normies) prefer an upright position and the industry doesn't provide them with enough options.

>>1992826
Oh hi grant, I know this won't break through your little self delusion bubble but the most popular bikes on the market cost like $500 and are about as upright as you can get short of just walking. The conspiracy to make everyone shove a dildo up his ass and wear a wetsuit and bend over on aero bars only exists in your head and nobody needs to buy your $5000 clone of a shitty d*tch bike if they want to be slow.

>>1992827
They also feel like absolute shit to ride.

>>1992827
You've clearly not met anyone who's bought a road bike, got a fit, went on a single club ride then found that they zero flexibility from a life of being a cager. This is the kind of shit that caters to that crowd. Plus old men who still want to ride the same bike they got in the 90s.

>>1992833
I don't think that's a statistically relevant problem, but let's suppose it was, if some 70 year old MAGA boomer chose to walk past the rows and rows of upright bitch bikes and went straight for the TT bike with the Chris Boardman position and hurt his back that's his problem, "the industry" didn't force him to do that, he did that to himself

Sometimes I think these threads are made by a single person arguing between their personalities. No one cares about none of the crap you described.

>>1992836
What are you on about?? Op made this thread to alert fellow cyclists about a recall. Why is that somehow connected to the schizo argument in your head?

>>1992719
what does this part do on a bike?

>>1995126
It raises the steerer tube. If you cut it off too low, you can replace the stack and stem with this thing, and get the extra height back. One of the retarded workarounds created since the bike industry ditched the superior threaded system.

>>1995145
>If you cut it off too low, you can replace the stack and stem with this thing, and get the extra height back.

I don't think there is a single person that uses a stem raiser for that reason. This shit is for trekking retards that want to have their bars on eye level and other retards that refuse to ride a bike in their size

>>1992719
>No injuries have been reported, but there has been one report of a stem riser shifting during use.
so non issue unless you are a retard.

>>1995145
>>1995150

Is there any reason you would choose this monstrosity over just a riser stem except for aesthetics?

Seems like everyone is afraid of these but they used to be norm on old MTB

>>1995631
What you don't realize is they are using that AND a riser stem.

>>1992827
>the most popular bikes on the market cost like $500 and are about as upright as you can get short of just walking.

The most popular bikes on the market are e-bikes and many of them come in 3 sizes only, especially step throughs, which make a lot of sense for rear loading or older riders. I mostly see stem risers used by 6' + people who are adapting undersized large frames to fit them.
At 6'2 i've always struggled to even get bars at saddle height, which is a reasonable normal.

It's really just a tall person problem and you don't get it because you're not tall.

>>1995679
tall and severely inflexible, not exactly a widespread problem

>>1995679
This.
The average "cyclist" and his 5'4 body have no clue how small bicycles frames are.
AND NOW THEY HAVE THE AUDACITY TO COMPLAIN ABOUT 175mm CRANKARMS AND WANT THEM PHASEOUT.
FUCK YOU, 175mm is the ONLY thing in the bicycle industry that is not designed for 158cm tall riders.

>>1996191
I dno't care about your ebike kvetching but I do agree we need to ban cranks over 170mm or at least require a licensing system where the police can break into your home at any time with no warning to confirm you aren't attempting to put them on a non-circus clown bike

>>1995679
>>1996191
Any 700c bike (so almost all modern bikes) is designed first for people around 175 to 190 cm. Because that tire size naturally makes for bikes to that demographic. Anything below 170 cm and you'll get into serious trouble on where the fuck are you going to fit the big ass wheels in such a small frame and it will change the handling. Anything bigger just looks goofy but is usually perfectly rideable with similar geometry.

Also if you're struggling with getting the handlebars high enough you're not in a position to use 175 mm cranks. You simply do not have the flexibility and hip mobility for it. Smaller cranks helps you inflexible fuckers because your hip angle will stay more open. Which is a major limiter for all the inflexible people.

>>1996214
long cranks are put on bikes for the same reason knobbies are put on bikes that will never be taken off road. regardless of whether it's the right choice for the user, it helps the sales process move along

we all know why normies want knobbies for their commuters. in the case of cranks, long cranks make otherwise lackluster bikes feel more responsive/light, because of the extra leverage on the downstroke. if it fucks up your pedal stroke and makes it uneven, well hey, it must be because the bike is so fast, normally you're on something slower

>>1996214
>175 to 190 cm
i have no idea what you are talking about. the bike industry has startled around 2015 to make MTB bike frames with alright proportions for people above 6'1.
if you think a 700c wheel is a big wheel you have never seen a size 60 road bike and how minuscule 700c wheels are.
Fun fact, the extremely rare xl 80s and 90s MTB frames still suffer the same issue of a low stack for the reach they have. That's why so many high reise handlebars are bought to people who restore them.
>flexibility
You are clueless.

>>1996294
2015 is also around when MTBs started to use bigger 700c wheels. And if you can read you'd notice that I said they do look goofy on bigger bikes because the proportions are wrong. But they're still rideable because while the proportions are wrong they don't have to compromise on geometry nearly as much as the smaller bikes.

>muh 80s and 90s MTBs
Oh I thought we're talking about bikes that have been relevant in the last decade.

My friend flew with flower in an m&Ms tube. Definitely they could see it on the machine, but they didn't give a fuck. NY

try a vape pen, they never give a shit about those.

>>1990771
They don't give a fuck in Cali either.
>>1990691
Put it in your girl's vag. Does it have to be flower? FPSRussia flew with a load of edibles by finding the regular candies that looked most like them.

>>1990792
>>1990691
Edibles decrease the risk a lot, but there was a case in my state where police stopped someone with edibles and the charges they had the entire weight of the product as if it was weight of dried flower, just like how if they pull up plants, they include as much dirt as possible in the weight of weed. So they had weed drinks with maybe 10mg THC per bottle, but that counted as >3/4 of a pound because of the weight of carbonated water and the bottle. Cops, man.

I fly with edibles all the time, but I only travel between states where it's legal. I keep it in my carry-on because if the plane diverts to a shit hole state, I can just chuck it in the trash before going through security again

>>1990691
They always check your ass but never your urethra, it's the perfect size for a blunt

>>1990691
If I catch you combusting something on my flight I'm letting the flight attendants know. Fire and planes don't mix. Don't be a degenerate and take an edible like a normal person if you're such a pothead you can't go 6 hours without getting high. I didn't bring any on my recent trip and just had a nice good high when I enjoyed the next time at home.

You ever just pocket a few joints before flying halfway across the planet just to see what happens?<br>Nothing. Nothing happens.

>>1991007
Unless you get caught, then a lot of things happen.

>>1991087
Nobody cares in civilized countries. But I suppose you live in one of those places where they throw you in a dungeon for life for walking through the same room as a poppy seed muffin

>>1991089
I'm a leaf so its completely legal here, but flying halfway across the planet implies you might be going to a shithole country.
Even closer to home, getting caught with weed crossing the border into the states will get you a lifetime ban from the US.

>>1990822

You could wait until you land in that legal destination and then go to a legal shop and buy some. Legally.
But I guess some people can't bear to be far from their stash. But not addicted. Nope.

>>1990826
>Fire and planes don't mix.
You used to be able to smoke on planes dumbshit

>>1992050
Literally every single product works a little bit differently, I'm not going to experiment with some random garbage that has a totally different concentration when I can just toss a pack of gummies that I'm familiar with into my bag along with my toothpaste and everything else I'd normally use in a day

I know what you're saying. We have Kidd Valley hamburgers here. If I have to travel somewhere with In-N-Out burger joints, I go into withdrawal.

>>1990691
Don't. Just don't. Your best case scenario (unlikely), you get high, which you could do before entering the airport. The other scenario, you get caught in security, they slap the book at you, try to claim you're smuggling (technically you are) and then you wind up in butt rape jail.
Do you want to wind up in butt rape jail?

>>1990822
Airports are federal property, even flying it between legal states is still a felony. You can and likely will go to pound me in the ass prison for violating drug trafficking laws.

>>1992053
Yes and it caused plane crashes and was a maintenance nightmare because cigarette smoke gets into EVERYTHING. Not to mention making everyone breathe in recirculated smoke whether they wanted to or not was probably incredibly unhealthy. There's a reason it's banned.

>>1996520
What a drama queen. Like you're not committing a felony multiple times a day without realizing it. I forgot where I read this but like it turns out it's physically impossible to consume lobster meat without technically being in violation of federal law.

Unless you're flying with like a kilo of shatter and your plane diverts to miami or some other shit hole state nothing will happen, everyone flies with mj products, it's a non-issue.

>>1996541
Okay but there's no feds sitting at the fucking Lobster Shack looking for people violating whatever obscure lobster law you're quoting to make your asinine comparison. Meanwhile at the airport you literally have to make it through a literal army of ball grabbing petty tyrants looking for any excuse to justify their existence. If you can't see the difference you're a retard. Which is probably true because you're too much of a pot addict to go a couple hours without it or just get high before you leave home

>>1996542
The TSA's job is to find box cutters and underwear bombs not THC gummies. If they stopped everyone who brought a pack of gummies in their carry on they'd have to arrest like half the passengers, I know you never leave your basement but they sell this shit in supermarkets now, it's a non-issue. This isn't an opinion, do some basic research on the topic, TSA officials are on record saying this. The only time you're at risk is going through security in a state where it's still severely illegal and there's local cops standing around with the TSA agents. CPD/NYPD/PAPD? Not an issue.

>>1996543
>I know you never leave your basement but they sell this shit in supermarkets now
Lol what the fuck state do you live in where you can buy weed in the supermarkets

>>1996548
Not where I live, here I have to go to a special state licensed place, but I was in minnesota after they legalized it and there was some poncy store near downtown that had it by the register, apparently the rules are pretty loose there. I guess it was more like a deli or something, not a full whole foods kind of thing, but still. A place whose main thing was food, for yuppies, and they were openly selling edible.

>>1996550
>>1996548
Here, found this on reddit. Not the shop I went to (that one was considerably more posh and only sold like, quail eggs and duck legs, not pleb stuff like chicken and beef). But it's basically less illegal than cough syrup.

>>1990691
Mail it to your destination the day before you leave. Have it waiting at your hotel.

>>1996587
Also illegal lol, stoners are dumb

>>1996596
obviously its illegal, but the odds of getting caught are near zero.

>>1996587
Yeah nah that's an incredibly terrible idea since there actually are inspectors who look for drugs in the mail and are law enforcement officers, unlike the TSA which literally does not care and does not have the power to arrest you

>>1990691
Was considering doing this, but I'm flying international and UK customs are significantly more competent than the TSA, so I go without for two weeks.

>>1996677
This unironically, postal inspectors do not fuck around. You don't want to end up on the wrong side of these guys.

>>1996677
>>1996746
How do you think dark net markets works.
Just vacuum seal it, No one's looking at your domestic packages

>>1996897
You mean those electronic markets where stupid people get rounded up by the hundreds every time a postal inspector gets bored, because dumbasses think "I don't understand this technology, therefore nobody understands this technology"?

You SURE you wanna use that example?

Yeah I think I'll just fly with my completely legal gummies instead of uploading a permanent electronic receipt of myself buying drugs that gets backed up to millions of servers simultaneously and forever but you do you.

I’m no airbus fanboy but has the A350 pretty much totally dethroned Boeing’s long haul offerings at this point? It’s reputation is so good that it has had a total hull loss and people are saying they’d fly on one again in a heartbeat

777X is just a 30 year old plane with new wings and engines, but 350 is designed with 21st century technology<br>If you want to use PC from the 90's or Core i7 PC, which would you rather use?

>>1994362
In theory the 777X is not a bad plane, it could be great in fact. The original version of the plane was fantastic at its introduction. A few significant upgrades is honestly all that's needed for it to stay competitive, but the flying public doesn't really have faith in Boeing to deliver a quality aircraft. Deservedly so, this due almost entirely to all the bad press Boeing has earned itself. The airlines as well don't have infinite patience either as its languishes in production/certification hell. It's difficult to replace a 777 with an A350 especially with the new variant's even more impressive capacity but it is an option.

Age isn't such clear cut simple factor to consider - the A320 is just as old as the 777 and its neo is the belle of the ball when it comes to orders.

While I just defended the 777, I like the A350. I like big twins and I cannot I lie. The A350 is one of the best planes flying today alongside the A220 but unlike the A220 it doesn't have as unique a character to it. At least it doesn't require as frequent engine maintenance however.


Would you?

American Express has released the latest limited edition Boeing 747 Delta SkyMiles Reserve Cards. These are metal cards from metal from rom two Delta 747 planes that were retired in 2017 after more than 27 years of service. The cards are available to Delta SkyMiles® Reserve and Reserve Business Card Members until June 5, 2024 (while supplies last).

>metal cards
So they are supplying in-flight patch kits to the passengers now?

Why buy decade-old Boeing metal when fresh Boeing parts fall from the sky for free every week nowadays?

>annual card fee is $650
I think I'll just splurge at Planetags, thanks.

You forgot to say the point of the the Reserve card is that the companion ticket is good for (domestic) First Class, whereas the lower priced Platinum is only good for some fare classes of Economy.

>>1994180
Not domestic only. It was changed earlier this year:
>https://www.americanexpress.com/us<wbr>/credit-cards/card/delta-skymiles-r<wbr>eserve-american-express-card/
>Enjoy a Companion Certificate on First Class, Delta Comfort+®, or Main Cabin domestic, Caribbean, or Central American roundtrip flights each year after renewal of your Card.*‡

You are correct that Platinum is economy only for the companion cert. It's a better deal if you don't want Skyclub access, but if you want Skyclub access as well the Reserve is what you want.

>>1994237
That's pretty based. It's just that Delta's devaluation of skypesos is just so over the top it's insanity when trying redeem for anything lie-flat

>>1995146
Yeah, skymiles are basically tied to a 1.2-1.5 cent cash valuation at this point. If you want to ride up front on a SkyTeam carrier, Virgin Atlantic is pretty much your best option. Fortunately they partner with all the major credit card rewards (CapitalOne, Chase, Amex, Citi), so easy to earn their miles.


Is there anything more soulful than taking a Greyhound bus from coast to coast?

Probably a train.
There's a dozen video max about this on youtube. even from /our/ guy Miles in transit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTp<wbr>t4tMnDT0&t=5
Everyone tries to keep a smile but this is a really taking way to travel. You can do this in good spirit just once a year in my opinion. I personally get really nauseated.
The funniest vids though are from brits Noel Phillips and the one that did it first Zac Alsop.
Anyway I think there are major improvements since flixbus bought greyhound?

>>1993231
Yes, probably anything.

If you watch people attempt this, it's:

>constant delays
>constant cancellations
>missing connections
>dealing with uppity niggers / non-existent customer service
>Full of smelly meth heads
>No toilets / toilets caked in shit and period blood
>The price of a ticket can match air fare

Fuck. No.

>>1993231
Yeah, driving from coast to coast in a classic car.

Is greyhound actually better than the generic $10 intercity buses? I've only taken the $10 buses and they are HORRIBLE, I was trapped in a box with obese freaks covered in their own piss and shit, absolute nightmare scenario. never doing that again, amtrak is only like $50 more and it's so worth it.

Driving yourself is cucked behavior.

>>1996744
Choosing your own timeline is cucked behavior?

>>1996744
Forcing yourself to do long boring hours of nothing but staring at the road when you could be relaxing on a train, having a beer, reading a book, working on your laptop, playing a game etc. I know what I'd rather do. Cars are fine I guess in some situations for like, last mile travel but for long distance travel they're dreadful.

>>1993231
I took one from Oakland to Ashland Oregon as a kid. that bathroom smell. its weird. the whole trip. some weird chemical smell you never smell anywhere else. cept maybe a portapotty. grape scented and poo

>>1996774

You literally don't know definitions of the words you use

>>1996877
Buses suck, I agree with you on that, but trains and planes are comfy. I love traveling on both of them even despite the TSA nightmare. Getting to sit back and relax and do whatever you want and eat whenever you choose to rather than waiting for the next truck stop 50 miles away is so convenient. You can even shop while you wait to board. It's very leisurely.

>>1996917
is anyone around here old enough to remember flying without security checks? how was it?

I am old enough to have flown before 9/11 but I don't really remember it very well because I was only 9 when it happened.

>>1996923
Flew cross country when I was 10, summer '00. It was fucking awesome from what I remember being a kid, the flight attendants loved me and I got a tour of a 742 that I'll remember for life.
Spent a lot of time at airports through the 90s, dad travelled for business and grandma was a snowbird. Waiting at the gate, watching the plane arrive, and greeting whoever we were picking up right off the jetway are fond memories.

>>1996923
your whole family could go to the gate with you and hang out while you waited to board was the best thing other than not getting anally probed by TSA

Why Are Rail Companies Such Jerks?

If I want to train-hop from Temiskaming Shores to Moosonee or Rouyn-Noranda, I shouldn't be HARRASSED by security and BOPPED on my FUCKING CAP for doing so. Even if I toss the security a twenty for my fare they still accost me. Why are they such assholes? Why am I not allowed to start the locomotive whilst the engineer is checking his brakes?

NBD

Hey guys, new bike day for me. I pretty much just ride for exercise but the road bike has gotten a bit boring... So I bought an entry level trail bike and although I likely overpaid I'm still happy for now. Gonna try some easy trails in the next few days and see how it goes. How important is it to have knee and elbow pads? On the easy stuff?<br>Also how much hate should I expect for going with a trek?

lol just realized I still havent taken off the reflectors or dork disc yet

that's a sick bike

Love the matchy colors, (don't do more).

I've done a fair bit of mtbing but always on rented/borrowed or old and or shit bikes. Would love to get more into it on something good.
It's just so expensive and i loathe driving to ride a bike. Hopefully you're lucky to have trails out your back door. Some cities are like that and I want to move to one.
My favorite trails are the epic back country XC ones though. 2-3 day rides with huts on them.
Don't think i'll get bored of road biking. I like riding up hills more than down them and that's most fun on a road bike.
Have fun around all the ebike boomers on the trail btfoing you

Scraped knees isn't that bad. If you're worried about grazes on your arms then just wear a long sleeve shirt, that will stave off some of it. How likely you are to hurt yourself is really up to you. Having a newish and well fitted helmet is the only important thing in a crash, i'd say over half of even serious cyclists wear a helmet which is badly adjusted or has already had several knocks.

Those tires could be upgraded.

>>1994057
thanks for the kind words
>Those tires could be upgraded.
I'm sure many things can be upgraded and when they wear out or break will be when I do it.

>>1994053
>entry level
>modern full suspension
uhhh yeah.
That's a lot of bike and you can do black trails with it once you skillmax after a couple years of riding.

>knee and elbow pads
If you are just starting I would wear a long sleeve athletic shirt(if warm/you sweat) and maybe some loose pants that you put the pant leg in your sock. Just an extra layer of clothing helps a ton with mild OTB, or low side crashes.
Gloves and helmet I would recommend, every fall you will likely impact your hands somewhere and rocks hurt. Make sure you land on your forearms and never stick out your hands alone, since that can tweak your wrist.

Knee pads are what I would do if it's cool or you plan on hitting some sketchy stuff. I run a camelback and would ride to the spot, then put them on since they kinda suck to ride in.
Trek's are fine, just uninspiring. I started riding on a bontrager which wasn't related to trek at the time but is now after trek bought them.
Many of my friends rode and ride trek since they were big even 12 years ago.

Just ride, stay loose on the bike, and try to carry speed through sketchy sections sometimes.

Oh, and experiment with tire pressure, don't run max recommended unless it's a road only ride.
Experiment with fork and shock pressure, and settings.

>>1994076
>once you skillmax after a couple years of riding.
hopefully some of my "skills" will come back I was actually sponsored for bmx about 20 years ago, and I still hit the cyclocross bike a few times a year. I know its not the same though so we will see.
>entry level
>modern full suspension
Thats kind of what I am thinking too but multiple reviews were saying the same thing... I'm hoping to hit some bike parks at the ski resorts later this year after I get a few dozen rides in.

>>1994053
>Overpaid
Probably (bike market 2024), but you can't go wrong with Trek, so at least you got a solid base for the money.
Hit some real trails with it and have fun!

>>1994053
>How important is it to have knee and elbow pads? On the easy stuff?
I always wear a helmet and knee pads that extend a bit lower to protect the shins also (more against the bike than the ground). Everything else is optional and really only necessary on gnarly rocky stuff.

>Also how much hate should I expect for going with a trek?
I've never heard of anyone getting hate for riding Trek. They're fantastic.

>>1994057
>driving to ride a bike
Why would anyone do that ? You have a bike.
Is that what the boomers in their cages with pedal assisted electric motorcycles on a rack do ? Post-modernism hits hard.

>>1994066
>I'm sure many things can be upgraded and when they wear out or break will be when I do it.
Right on. Don't fall for the material meme. Your bike is perfectly capable of everything you'll be throwing at it.

>>1994086
>I'm hoping to hit some bike parks at the ski resorts later this year after I get a few dozen rides in.
Yeah, do that. Bike parks are perfect for learning technique.
Best to watch one of the billions of beginner's guide videos on YouTube for basic cornering (and jumping?) technique. Just so you know what to focus on when you're there.

dont be a wrenchlet that doesn't do suspension maintenance

>>1994125
>Why would anyone do that ? You have a bike.
That's why mountain bike people shouldn't be considered cyclists

>>1994166
pretty sure they dont want to be considered cyclists either

>>1994247
Nah, I'm ok with not being a cyclist.

>>1994057
>Hopefully you're lucky to have trails out your back door.

>>1994285
That guy looks much more pleasant to interact with than the average MTB guy

>>1994291
lol no
coming from road biking to now doing a little mtbing all I have found in the hills so far is friendly people, in the past when I ran into road bikers they were usually stand offish and judgemental d-bags.

>>1994486
We've learned from experience. You guys are the ones road raging at us in your SUVs on the way to the bike park.

>>1994498
bro I'm OP, I literally bought my bike 3 days ago and that was my experience so far having ridden 2 days on some local mtb trails. Its also been the same when I would go riding bike paths.. the road bikers always had an attitude but when you called them out on it they would just speed off after pretending to be a victim.

>>1994053
nice rig. rotate the bars so they have some rise instead of only sweep.
pads are personal preference. i haven't felt the need for them on my local trails, but i will be picking up some knee pads for bike park days.
nobody gives a shit what brand bike you are riding.

>>1994533
>nobody gives a shit what brand bike you are riding

I do. Seeing a trek on trails means that it's time to stop riding there

>>1994530
If everyone you meet is an asshole...

>>1994536
>says everyone he met in the last few days mtbing were nice and friendly
>says meeting roadies were usually d-bags

nah brah your just proving my point. Go troll somewhere else

>>1994541
I've met one or two roadies who seemed like jerks, out of hundreds. The vast majority are friendly and have good manners.

Most MTB people I meet are obnoxious low class boors.

>>1994546
Ok you win, I hope some good happens for you today

>>1994546
My experience is the opposite. Roadies mostly tend to be grumpy sourpusses and mountainbiker are much more likely to be happy and friendly.

>>1994546
Sounds like you're an anxious beta cuck who's intimidated by loudmouthed guys.


Urban sprawl is good as long as you have extensive coverage of railways, it's comfy too because it makes the urban core larger and takes longer to navigate through which is a vibe.

Does your city qualify for CHAD status?

Requirements:
>central urban area footprint of >=300 km^2
>at least 5 major intercity railway terminals within the urban zone
>metro footprint >=1200 km^2

>>1994210
Care to explain a bit more about the map ? There seems to be going on alot more than the legend explains.

>>1994215
Picrel is not relevant, just a depiction of urban pop concentration, problem is that urban areas are often interchangeably conflated with metro area, I'm defining urban area as "city footprint".

>>1994210
>Urban sprawl is good as long as you have extensive coverage of railways

>>1994216
Ok, but i too would like to know what is going on in that map. what do the black lines represent, why is it so distorted?

>>1994210
How many Indians do you reckon have died on those tracks

>>1994335
Just a case of predators keeping the local population from growing out of control

>>1994317
It appears to distort the landmass so that the population density is equal across it. The farther apart the line spacing, the denser the population in an undistorted map.

Basically it swells high population density areas like India, China, Europe, Nigeria, East Africa, etc. while shrinking low population density areas like Canada, Siberia/Central Asia, the Sahara, the Amazon and Congo basins, etc.


Please post BIG or otherwise interesting at-grade railroad crossings.

Another one, on the "interesting" side of the scale. Don't mind me, I'm just parking in a lot.

In my old home town, virtually every thoroughfare with at least four lanes already has their level crossings replaced by bridges, the only exceptions being in our harbour (pic rel), branching off like this onto very minor terminals or company grounds, and in our outward industrial areas, which haven't seen rail traffic in literally decades

>>1993864
I've been on that dutch highway lately.

Americans would fear the fact you can travel 100kph (62mph) when coming from that 30km long levy and there's that out-of-nowhere railroad crossing.


>20 dollar toll peak hours to travel under 8 miles
I set my transponder to 3 occupants so it's free, if I ever get pulled over ll quickly set transponder to 1 and tell the cop their machines are malfunctioning. I've been doing it for about 2 years and have saved so many hours of time. What will eventually happen??

you won't get pulled over, CHP already said they're done trying to cite people for this

I prefer the train though because fuck 580 regardless, and fuck 680, and fuck driving in alameda county

>>1994358
I figure there's way too many people cheating for them to try and police it. I'm not giving this state any more fucking money. You subject yourself to riding BART? makes me kek the new methids to stop fare evasion

>>1994359
Nta but i only ever ride between Union City and San Jose, clean new stations that nobody ~really~ uses, never encountered any feces/needles/schizos/etc

>>1994411
There's a bart in man jose now?

>>1994413
Yup, opened up right when wu-flu hit so kind of a soft/under the radar opening. For some reason VTA runs it rather than BART so you can still tap on with a physical plastic clipper card, station agents are always in the booths and the whole thing is kept very clean. In my experience, BART doesn't become really become the meme people know it has until you hit the core East Bay & SF stations.

>>1994357
They have cameras checking occupancy in Virginia.

>>1994423
>They have cameras checking occupancy in Virginia.
Pretty sure all of them do and have for a while, enough to catch on what's a person and what's not. Stuffed animals are common and in Portland someone was ticketed for it.

>>1994357
I'd be very surprised if the state ever caught up with you anon, express lanes are just another way to milk money out of bay area tax cattle, and I don't think any self-respecting cop is going to bother enforcing it

>>1994423

CHP is currently banned from using them because of CA's privacy laws. Individual cities and counties use them extensively though, it's why looters don't hit San Mateo because they got red light cameras on all sides and will fuck people before they get into SF.

>>1994857

I've seen it enforced, I've also been cited for not paying my bridge tolls and I have had my car towed for it too. Owed $1,500, DMV pulled my plates, and I let them keep my '98 civic lx because it was a pos anyway. They got me at benicia and made me discover crockett (dont google) while I walked to a safe area where a cab was willing to pick me up.


>no maintenance required
>can't be stolen
>inexpensive
>no storage needed
Is this the best form of commuting?

heavy as fuck, sometimes station's empty, sometimes station full so you can't drop it there, requires credit card. shitty as hell.

I can see you've never tried. They can't respond to demand without big ass trucks hauling them around and redistributing them constantly. Otherwise left to their own devices they all pile up around the same 10% of stations. Try commuting on one to an area with a lot of commercial activity during the morning rush hour and good luck finding an open dock. Then the reverse happens to docks in areas around a major subway or commuter rail station, you just can't find a place to put the bike.

They are fine for WFH or opportunistic use when you're just out and about and need to cross town and there just happens to be a bike there. Unless it's a particularly nice day, that is, because everyone grabbed one for a fun ride.

Kinda niche imo. They're great late in the night when trains and buses don't ride anymore. Although I do find myself drunk in those situations a lot of the time so I don't use them. In most other cases just taking a bus is easier. Especially since you need to drop them of a bike stations to not get an extra fee.

>>1994460
>Is this the best form of commuting?
kind of but it depends entirely on how the bikeshare is implemented. Like, in theory, it's the ideal transport because it's sustainable, no worry of it getting stolen, and they're everywhere. However, the way the city I live in implemented it poorly and off loaded the management of the bikeshare program to Lyft who so happened to make it equal or higher in cost than using their rideshare service, absolutely retarded.
keep in mind, everything I'm going to so here will be regarding Divvy, Chicago's bikeshare program
>no maintenance required
yeah but being at the whims of the company's diligence on maintenance is hit or miss
>can't be stolen
honestly the best part of riding a bikeshare but the company themself has had serious issues with theft
>inexpensive
yeah no, Divvy was really cheap before Lyft took business, now it's kind of absurd and might as well take a CTA day-pass instead
>no storage needed
inb4 docking station is full and the next station is stupidly far away

>>1994474
Oh hello flyover, I guess you didn't realize people can both own things and use services. I have a crabbon fred sled that keeps me happy. A 50 pound steel boat anchor doesn't make me happy because I'm not dutch. It's just a way to get around that you don't have to drag with you into the store and ram people with like a park slope stroller karen. Just leave it outside and if it gets stolen it's not my problem anymore.

>>1994477

There's a police station on the mezzanine level of that station but they're probably too busy vandalizing the fare readers so they can bust people for fare evasion to notice someone dragging in a stolen citibike

For daily commuting it's better to use your own bike since these are pretty slow. But they are incredibly usefull in some situations. In my city they just cost a few euros for a yearly pass. I love them, every 1st world city needs these.

They were removed from my city because no one rode them. Not even the dockless ebikes have taken off. Rental E-Scooters are very popular however and people tend to try them out, then graduate to buying their own.

>>1994460
e-scooters are 100 times more useful


What are some cities with both good highway/road infrastructure AND good mass transit systems?

Singapore, but the cycling is terrible

Which is weird because they make really good bib shorts

>>1994492
unironically tokyo, because of public works programs focused on grade separated highways, and of course their public transit which speaks for itself. for a country that adapted so much good urbanism from the western world their bicycle infrastructure is shit though, close to american-tier.

>>1994532
Tokyo highways are not good, nothing special, except for how slow, expensive, and low capacity they are. The expressway system fits the area's needs, but it is not a good system. Grade separating through such tactics as building over a river is not a good look. Tokyo transit is good, but unable to meet the demand of the area. Bicycle infrastructure is largely unnecessary, biking in tokyo is pretty decent ignoring the climate. When I've had to commute during peak hours I much preferred cycling to the railways.

>>1994767
>slow, expensive, and low capacity
this describes any busy highway
>transit unable to meet the demand of the area
based on what, the meme of pushing people into overcrowded trains? the worst line in that regard was the yamanote line in the 90s, at 250% capacity. it's now at max 150% due to opening parallel routes.
>Bicycle infrastructure is largely unnecessary
it really isn't, it might seem that way if you're used to worse standards but good infra makes a huge difference to the amount of people riding bikes and their comfort/safety.

>>1994781
>this describes any busy highway
Tokyo highways have ridiculously low speed limits for a "highway" in many places. Other places in the world have untolled highways. Different highways certainly have different capacities.
>based on what, the meme of pushing people into overcrowded trains? the worst line in that regard was the yamanote line in the 90s, at 250% capacity. it's now at max 150% due to opening parallel routes.
Unless you're referring to the Ueno-Tokyo line connection or the Fukutoshin metro, no, there haven't been any parallel routes built.
Tozai, Chuo Sobu, Sobu, Saikyo, Yokosuka, Chuo, Tokaido, Tokyu, Seibu lines are still quite bad. Getting from Chiba to Tokyo in the morning is not fun.

>>1994781
>this describes any busy highway
Tokyo's highways are all tolled and are only two lanes in each direction. For a major world city, two lanes in each direction is literally third-world tier. In most of America, even in urban areas, the freeways are 65-75 mph during non-rush hour (and assuming no big wrecks or events).

Cows are chads, I wouldn’t mooove to an area with cows if I was going to complain the cows were sometimes in the way.

Farmers, racnhers, etc., get a pass. They feed us.

Utmost respect for all farmers and shepherds, always try to keep out of the way and wait for their signal to safely pass, not like this douche that posted on komoot a picture of this fine shepherd's bside. Would have fucking slapped him, comment on the photo was also implicitly lewd.

Couldnit he have just kept his tiny horse even though they were losing the farm?

I mean, it fit in a box and all , he could have kept it under his bad

They are you roads more than anyone else's, local resident. Thank you for letting my parasitic ass use them at all. Maybe I'll use this as a lesson to not pointlessly travel through land I don't own to other things I don't own, at the expense of everyone's time, resources, and the surface of the earth.
