Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I like flying on Airbus products, except for the 319. That thing is stinking tight in American config, and with only 8 big boy seats it is hard to get comfortable.

Its either the Bus, or 737. The 737 is pretty junior in DC, so maybe that.
What do you mean, it's pretty junior? It's smaller than the others?

Might just be too early for you to understand things.

The young pilots get the 737s. The older guys want to fly the fancier planes.

Time to load up the Honda and hit the soggy K-Town streets for productive activities.

Everyone log off and see if you can pull yourselves together for when I return.

We need a leaderboard for who has spent the least on gas during their lifetime.

I'll bet that I'm at the forefront of most spent on gas in a lifetime.

I don't know, it's a lot more expensive out here. I'll try and figure out my lifetime mileage but it has to be over 1 million miles. Over 500k between 2 cars, I've had 28 cars and I drove tow truck for a few years.

I don't think I'd be the most. Just more on that end than the other.

Indy's Subie is 5 years old with just 13k miles. My Jeep is 8 months old with 8k miles.

But, we don't have any other type of transit.

Inflation adjusted?

I might win though.

Here's a load of continuous rail I saw in Vancouver a few years ago. These were about a 1/4 mile long.

Also shown: Vancouver Amtrak Station, the Columbia River swing bridge, and on the far right a little piece of the Great Western Malting grain elevators.

You probably got me beat. It's an car-centric world here, though I sometimes rebel with my bicycle.

I read the article. Sadly, it suggests that the wireless cockpit is NOT compatible with rim brakes, only with disc brakes. I will hope that might change but at least for my setup it ain't gonna happen.

Oh yes, that’s a fact. Wireless shifters are disc only. I could redo the R2 (but likely won’t). Not sure about the back end part for mechanical type bikes.

I might have to wait for the mechanical 12 speed 105 group. Sad.
