literally how can speeds be so low?

20 fucking years of me pulling my hair asking the same.

I took the Buenos Aires - Mar del Plata train, which is the fastest we still have, all new tracks and shit, and the average speed is 75 km/h

Brand new tracks.

A hundred years ago the same line had a special train for transporting fish that had a record of 120 km/h average speed.

A friend of mine took that train cuz it’s dirty cheap, they hated it.

There isn’t, I mean the caption from where I stole it from

The caption said Morocco

Body horror?

I never cycled in a touristy bike friendly big city nor I ever rode an ebike. Maybe if you consider Bs As as bike-infrastructure-developed, but you gotta squint really hard for that. Sure, there are busy non-leisure cyclepaths, but you can count them with a hand.

I meant I behave like a really fast pedestrian hoping on and off sidewalks, using zebrapaths if I deem convenient and will never care if there’s a redlight as long as I don’t see cars about to hit me if I cross

Jokes on you I’d get the wall in MY socialist utopia too

• What Barabas said

• You only need to derail ONE of the bogies/wheel sets of only one of the wagons for the train to be “derailed”. (After one bogie derails, if the train keeps moving, the whole thing will get fucked up). Bogies are usually in the ends of wagons, far from the centre of mass, so if you hit them with a car you have a lot of leverage to displace them.

• Trains can be intentionally derailed by the pilot as an emergency break, which makes sense if you don’t have enough space for breaking conventionally and (you calculate) the thing you’ll hit won’t get out of the way on time.

• The state of the rails can be really bad, which also helps derailments

What’s the matter with ebiketourists?

I wish

I like hearing the important part first, here being “train derails”

Train derails due to car crossing a red light

Car crossing red light causes train derailment

This is how all interviews with athletes are: “yeah we have to score more goals than the other team, but the other team also wants to score goals”

I didn’t link the video but this is just a grandad that built it to “drive” around his granddaughter and her friends

What would be the point of a motorbike if it couldn’t do that?
